Answer:

b. They orbit around the Sun in a counterclockwise direction, when viewed from above the ecliptic plane.

Explanation:

All the objects of the solar system revolve around the Sun in a counterclockwise direction. The comet coming from the Oort's cloud will also follow the same kind of orbit. That is why it can't be a property to distinguish an Oort's cloud comet.

All other properties are correct to identify an Oort's cloud comet as the Oort's cloud is a considered a spherical cloud just outside the Solar system.

A runner of mass 80 kg is moving at 8.0 m/s. Calculate her kinetic energy.

lana [24]

Answer:

2560J

Explanation:

By definition the kinetic energy can be calculated in the following way:

K = (mv²)/2 = 80kg·(8.0m/s)²/2 = 2560 J

A basketball player spins the ball with an angular acceleration of 10 rad/s2. What is the ball’s final angular velocity if the b

Lena [83]

Explanation:

It is given that,

The angular acceleration of the basketball, $\alpha=10\ rad/s^2$

Time taken, t = 3 seconds

We need to find the ball’s final angular velocity if the ball starts from rest. It can be calculated using definition of angular acceleration i.e.

$\alpha=\dfrac{\omega_f-\omega_i}{t}$

$\omega_i=0\ (rest)$

$\omega_f=\alpha t$

$\omega_f=10\ rad/s^2\times 3\ s$

$\omega=30\ rad/s$

So, the ball's final angular velocity is 30 rad/s. Hence, this is the required solution.
