What is a loose icy body with a long narrow orbit?

Physics

Bumek [7]3 years ago
4 0
A comet is the loose, icy body with a long, narrow orbit. 
Comets are very small solar system body made mainly of ices mixed with smaller amounts of dust and rock. Most comets are not larger than a few kilometers across. The main body of the comet is called the nucleus, and it can contain water, methane, nitrogen and other ices. Their speeds vary depending on their orbits and where they are in it. The closer they are to the sun, the faster they are going.

How do greenhouse gases such as CO2 and N2O contribute to an increase in Earth’s atmospheric temperature?
konstantin123 [22]
CO2 and N2O keep the energy that gets to Earth from the sun inside the atmosphere. Without greenhouse gases, our planet would be too cold. But due to the recent increase in greenhouse gases, more energy released from the sun is contained in the Earth, heating it up.

You exert of force of 75 newtons on a rock. You push and you push, but you can't budge it. You are exhausted! How much work did
sergiy2304 [10]
You performed 0 work for the fact that work means the distance of movement made on an object not the amount of force it is exposed to. 0 work because it didn't move

A 1000-kg whale swims horizontally to the right at a speed of 6.0 m/s. It suddenly collides directly with a stationary seal of m
anzhelika [568]

Answer:

Momentum after collision will be 6000 kgm/sec

Explanation:

We have given mass of the whale = 1000

Initial velocity v = 6 m/sec

It collides with other mass of 200 kg which is at stationary

Initial momentum of the whale = 1000×6 = 6000 kgm/sec

We have to find the momentum after collision

From conservation of momentum

Initial momentum = final momentum

So final momentum = 6000 kgm/sec

A bucket of mass m is hanging from the free end of a rope whose other end is wrapped around a drum (radius R, mass M) that can r
mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let T be the tension .

Applying newton's second law on the downward movement of the bucket

mg - T = ma

On the drum , a torque of TR will be acting which will create an angular acceleration of α in it . If I be the moment of inertia of the drum

TR = Iα

TR = Ia/ R

T =  Ia/ R²

Replacing this value of T in the other equation

mg - T = ma

mg - Ia/ R²  = ma

mg =  Ia/ R² +ma

a ( I/ R² +m)= mg

a = mg / ( I/ R² +m)

mg - T = ma

mg - ma  = T

mg - m x mg / ( I/ R² +m) = T

mg - m²g / ( I/ R² +m ) = T

mg - mg / ( 1 + I / m R² ) = T

b ) T =  Ia/ R²

I = TR² / a

c ) Moment of inertia of hollow cylinder

I = 1/2  M ( R² - R² / 4 )

= 3/4 x 1/2 MR²

= 3/8 MR²

I / R² = 3/8 M

a = mg / ( I/ R² +m)

a = mg / ( 3/8 M + m )

T =  Ia/ R²

= 3/8 MR² x mg / ( 3/8 M + m ) x 1 /R²

= \frac{3mMg}{(3M +8m)}
