Why does a tail appear when a comet nears the sun?

1 answer:

3 0

It heats up. the ice transforms directly from a solid to a vapor, releasing dust particles. the solar wind sweeps the material and it forms what to appears to be a tail.

39. What is the change in momentum for a 5,000 kg ship in

Ivan

Answer:

Change in momentum is zero.

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Mass (m) = 5000 kg

Time (t) = 1 h

Net force (F) = 0

Change in momentum =?

Force = Rate of change of momentum

0 = change in momentum

Change in momentum = 0

We can see from the above illustration that the net force is zero. Thus, the change in momentum is also zero.

An apparatus like the one Cavendish used to ﬁnd G has large lead balls that are 5.2 kg in mass and small ones that are 0.046 kg.

Ber [7]

Answer:

The magnitude of gravitational force between two masses is $4.91\times 10^{-9}\ N$ .

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of first lead ball, $m_1=5.2\ kg$

Mass of the other lead ball, $m_2=0.046\ kg$

The center of a large ball is separated by 0.057 m from the center of a small ball, r = 0.057 m

We need to find the magnitude of the gravitational force between the masses. It is given by the formula of the gravitational force. It is given by :

$F=G\dfrac{m_1m_2}{r^2}\\\\F=6.67259\times 10^{-11}\times \dfrac{5.2\times 0.046}{(0.057)^2}\\\\F=4.91\times 10^{-9}\ N$

So, the magnitude of gravitational force between two masses is $4.91\times 10^{-9}\ N$ . Hence, this is the required solution.

A pickup truck is traveling down the highway at a steady speed of 30.1 m/s. The truck has a drag coefficient of 0.45 and a cross

Sav [38]

Answer:

The energy that the truck lose to air resistance per hour is 87.47MJ

Explanation:

To solve this exercise it is necessary to compile the concepts of kinetic energy because of the drag force given in aerodynamic bodies. According to the theory we know that the drag force is defined by

$F_D=\frac{1}{2}\rhoC_dAV^2$
