it would be B.Comets are not ever visible from Earth.

Comets travel very fast, loop around the Sun, and have long tails. A comet is a chunk of material left over from the formation of the solar system. ... Because the comets are much smaller and lighter than planets, they are easily pulled this way and that by the gravity of the planets (or, in some cases, even by stars).

Yes. All of the comets in the Kuiper Belt and Oort Cloud are part of the solar system. They orbit our Sun, and obey the same laws of motion as the planets and their moons. Comets also started with the same materials that planets like Earth were made from.

Halley's Comet, for example, is usually very bright when it passes through the inner Solar System every seventy-six years, but during its 1986 apparition, its closest approach to Earth was almost the most distant possible. The comet became visible to the naked eye, but was unspectacular.

As a comet approaches the Sun, it starts to heat up. The ice transforms directly from a solid to a vapor, releasing the dust particles embedded inside. Sunlight and the stream of charged particles flowing from the Sun – the solar wind – sweeps the evaporated material and dust back in a long tail.

What will a balloon do to a cloth if its negatively charged
masya89 [10]

Answer:

This involves negatively charged particles (electrons) jumping to positively charged objects. When you rub the balloons against the fabric they become negatively charged. They take some of the electrons from the fabric and leave them positively charged.

Explanation:

Negative charges attract to positive charges. If a balloon is not rubbed with the wool cloth, it has an equal amount of negative to positive charges, so it will attract to a rubbed balloon. When both balloons are rubbed with the wool cloth, the both receive negative charges, so they will repel each other.

The volume of a sample of oxygen is 300.0 mL, when the pressure is 1.00 atm and the temperature is 300K. At what pressure will t
Brut [27]

Answer:

The new pressure is 0.5 atm

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Volume of oxygen = 300 mL = 0.300 L

Pressure = 1.00 atm

Temperature = 300 K

The volume increases to 1000mL = 1.00 L

The temperature increases to 500 K

Step 2: Calculate the new pressure

(P1*V1)/T1 = (P2*V2)/T2

⇒with P1 = the initial pressure = 1.00 atm

⇒with V1 = the initial volume = 0.300 L

⇒with T1 = the initial temperature = 300 K

⇒with P2 = the new pressure = TO BE DETERMINED

⇒with V2 = the increased volume = 1.00 L

⇒with T2 = the increased temperature = 500 K

(1.00 atm* 0.300 L)/300 K = (P2 * 1.00L) / 500 K

P2 = (1.00 *0.300 * 500) / (300 *1.00)

P2 = 0.5 atm

The new pressure is 0.5 atm

Why do different elements make different color flames when you burn them?
Dovator [93]
When you heat an atom, some of its electrons are "excited* to higher energy levels. When an electron drops from one level to a lower energy level, it emits a quantum of energy. ... The different mix of energy differences for each atom produces different colours. Each metal gives a characteristic flame emission spectrum.
