leonid [27]

Answer: Beta, alpha and gamma ray

Explanation: The component being deflected to the positive side is the beta radiation because it is negatively charged and thus is attracted by the positive terminal of the Electric Field.

The component being deflected to the negative side is the alpha radiation, it's is positively charged and thus being attracted by the negative part of the Electric Field.

The component that went straight down without deflection is the gamma radiation. It is neutral and possess no charge and thus is not deflected.

What are the two segments of a comet?
Katyanochek1 [597]
Two segments of a comet are head and tail.

Head is main part of comet. Depending on how comet was created head can be made out of metal (such as iron) or stone. Also, head contains a lot of dust and water ice. When comet comes closer to Sun it's surface warms and ice starts to melt. Due to low pressure in space it almost instantly evaporates creating water vapour. This vapour causes the particles of dust to raise above surface of head and to fall back of the head. 

Tail is most viewed part of a comet. It best something that we can see with naked eye and that helps us to distinguish comet and all other celestial bodies. Tail is made out of two other tails. First is dust tail. It is created when dust particles rise from head of a comet and fall behing it. Gravity of a comet causes for these particles to follow head. Dust tail is always located opposite to direction of movement. Second tail is ionic tail. When solar particles (such as solar wind) hit comet they ionize atoms and molecules. This causes them to glow and produce light which we can see. Ionic tail is always opposite to direction in which Sun is located. When comet is far from Sun dust and ionic tail lay in same position. When comet is close to Sun dust and ionic tail not always lay in same position.

The other name for 'net force' is 'unbalanced force'. What is the name of the force that could be applied to an object that woul
vivado [14]

Answer:

Since these two forces are of equal magnitude and in opposite directions, they balance each other. The book is said to be at equilibrium. There is no unbalanced force acting upon the book and thus the book maintains its state of motion. When all the forces acting upon an object balance each other, the object will be at equilibrium; it will not accelerate.

How much kinetic energy does a 6kg cart have when moving at 4 m/s?
Arturiano [62]

Given:

mass = 6 kg

velocity = 4 m/s

To find:

Kinetic energy of the cart = ?

Formula used:

Kinetic energy = \frac{1}{2} m v^{2}

Where m = mass of the cart

v = velocity with which the cart is moving

Solution:

Kinetic energy of the moving cart is given by,

Kinetic energy = \frac{1}{2} m v^{2}

Where m = mass of the cart

v = velocity with which the cart is moving

Kinetic energy =\frac{1}{2} \times 6 \times \ 4 \times 4

Kinetic energy = 48 Joule

Thus, the kinetic energy of the moving cart is 48 Joule.
