Which of the following is NOT a property of long-period comets that suggests that they originate from the Oort cloud?

Physics
1 answer:
Lesechka [4]3 years ago
7 0

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.

Describe the Pascal's principles​
boyakko [2]

Explanation:

Pascal's principle, also called Pascal's law, in fluid (gas or liquid) mechanics, statement that, in a fluid at rest in a closed container, a pressure change in one part is transmitted without loss to every portion of the fluid and to the walls of the container.

A nonconducting sphere has radius R = 1.29 cm and uniformly distributed charge q = +3.83 fC. Take the electric potential at the
zalisa [80]

Answer:

a) -2.516 × 10⁻⁴ V

b) -1.33 × 10⁻³ V

Explanation:

The electric field inside the sphere can be expressed as:

E= \frac{kqr}{R^3}

The potential at a distance can be represented as:

V(r) - V(0) = -\int\limits^r_0 {\frac{kqr}{R^3} } \, dr^2

V(r) - V(0) = [\frac{qr^2}{8 \pi E_0R^3 }]₀

V(r) =   -[\frac{qr^2}{8 \pi E_0R^3 }]₀

Given that:

q = +3.83 fc = 3.83 × 10⁻¹⁵ C

r = 0.56 cm

 = 0.56 × 10⁻² m

R = 1.29 cm

  =  1.29 × 10⁻² m

E₀ = 8.85 × 10⁻¹² F/m

Substituting our values; we have:

V(r) = -\frac{(3.83*10^{-15}C)(0.560*10^{-2}m)^2}{8 \pi (8.85*10^{-12}F/m)(1.29*10^{-2}m)^3}

V(r) = -2.15  × 10⁻⁴ V

The difference between the radial distance  and center can be expressed as:

V(r) - V(0) = -\int\limits^R_0 {\frac{kqr}{R^3} } \, dr^2

V(r) - V(0) =  [\frac{qr^2}{8 \pi E_0R^3 }]^R

V(r) = -\frac{qR^2}{8 \pi E_0R^3 }

V(r) = -\frac{q}{8 \pi E_0R }

V(r) = -\frac{(3.83*10^{-15}C)}{8 \pi (8.85*10^{-12}F/m)(1.29*10^{-2}m)}

V(r) = -0.00133

V(r) = - 1.33 × 10⁻³ V

Which graph illustrates constant speed and velocity?
boyakko [2]

The correct graph is <u>D</u>.

The graph <em>A</em> is a straight line sloping downwards and it shows that the speed of the body is decreasing at a constant rate. Therefore, this s a graph of a body that is under a constant deceleration.

The graph B is a straight line which slopes upwards. Hence the graph shows that the speed of the body increases at a constant rate. Therefore, this is a graph of a body that is accelerating at a constant rate.

The graph C is curved line, which curves upwards. The slope of the curve increases with time. This is therefore, a graph of a body which is under increasing acceleration.

The graph D, however is a straight line parallel to the time axis. The speed of the body has the same value at all times. Therefore, Graph D is the graph which shows the motion of a body with constant speed.

The measure of a spring’s resistance to being compressed or stretched is the
larisa86 [58]

<u>Answer;</u>

<em>Spring constant </em>

<u>Explanation;</u>

The measure of a spring’s resistance to being compressed or stretched is the <u>spring constant</u>.

  • The symbol of spring constant is K, since it is a constant. From the Hooke's law,for a helical spring or any elastic material, the extension force is directly proportional to the extension provided the elastic limit is not exceeded.
  • Therefore; the spring constant = Force/extension. That is; K = F/e; where k is the spring constant, F is the extension force and e is the extension.
  • Spring constant depicts the resistance of the spring to compressional and stretching forces.
