Answer:

The correct answer is option C. Sun.

Explanation:

The tail of a comet as well as the comma are visible thanks to the influence of sunlight on these objects.

If there is a case that these objects cross the inner Solar System, then they will be visible from Earth. The reason why this occurs is that as the comet approaches the internal solar system, the materials that are inside the comet vaporize and flow out of the nucleus thanks to solar radiation, and while they do carry dust with them.

This dust is the one that reflects sunlight directly, while the gases shine because of ionization.

Usually we will need a telescope to see a comet, although there are some that can be seen with the naked eye.

Which statements describe Newton and the law of universal gravitation

Fofino [41]

Answer:

Newton's law of universal gravitation is usually stated as that every particle attracts every other particle in the universe with a force that is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers.

Describe a vector and how it is used

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

Vectors are used in science to describe anything that has both a direction and a magnitude. They are usually drawn as pointed arrows, the length of which represents the vector's magnitude.

A delivery truck travels 2.8 km North, 1.0 km East, and 1.6 km South. The final displacement from the origin is ___km to the ___

34kurt

Answer:

The final displacement from the origin is 1.6 km to the NE

Explanation:

The directions in which the delivery truck travels are;

1) 2.8 km North = 2.8· $\hat j$ , in vector form

2) 1.0 km East = 1.0· $\hat i$ , in vector form

3) 1.6 km South = -1.6· $\hat j$ , in vector form

Therefore, to find the final displacement, Δx, of the delivery truck, we add the individual displacements as follows;

Final displacement, Δd = 2.8· $\hat j$ + 1.0· $\hat i$ +(-1.6· $\hat j$ ) = 1.2· $\hat j$ + 1.0· $\hat i$

Final displacement, = 1.0· $\hat i$ + 1.2· $\hat j$

Where;

Δx = The displacement in the x-direction = 1.0· $\hat i$

Δy = The displacement in the y-direction = 1.2· $\hat j$

The magnitude of the resultant displacement vector is given as follows

$\left | d \right |$ = √((Δx)² + (Δy)²) = √(1² + 1.2²) ≈ 1.6 (To the nearest tenth)

The magnitude of the resultant displacement vector ≈ 1.6 km

The direction of the resultant vector is positive for both the east and north direction, therefore, the direction of the resultant vector = NE

Therefore, the resultant displacement of the delivery truck is approximately 1.6 km, NE from the origin.

A 1000.kg car moving at north at 100. km/hr brakes to a stop in 50. m within a uniform acceleration. what are magnitude and dire

Marianna [84]

Answer:

Force=7.71KN in the opposite direction

Explanation:

Given the mass of the car(M)=1000Kg

The initial speed of the car(u)=100km/hr

we know that 1km/hr=5/18 m/sec

100km/hr=100*5/18 m/sec=27.77m/sec

the distance travelled before it stops (s)=50m

let the acceleration of the car be a

The final velocity of the car is 0.

we know that $v^{2}-u^{2}=2as$

$0^{2}-27.77^{2}=2(-a)(50)$

a=7.712m/ $sec^{2}$

We know that F=Ma

F=1000* 7.712=7712N=7.71KN
