<h2>Comets are made of Chunks of rock, gas, Ice, and dust. The Answer is A and C.</h2>

Explanation:

Comets is one of the main types of space rocks. Recent researchers has termed Comets as 'dirty snowballs' of space, that contains ice, rock, gas and dust. The solid center of the comet is less than 10 kilometers across.

Comets are believed to have originated beyond Neptune and Pluto. It is called the Oort Cloud that surrounds the solar system.

It carries carbon dioxide, methane, ammonia, and many more gases. According to Astronomers, comets are assumed to be the leftovers of the material that was initially the part of solar system about billion years ago.

EleoNora [17]

We subtract the velocity of car 1 from the velocity of car 2:
$v=(30\ mph\ North)-(20\ mph\ South)$
$=(30\ mph\ North)+(20\ mph\ North)$
$=50\ mph\ North$

How to find a planet’s gravitational field strength using its radius?

grin007 [14]

The gravitational field strength is approximately equal to 10 N.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Gravitational field strength is the measure of gravitational force acting on any object placed on the surface of the planet. Generally, the mass of the object is considered as 1 kg.

So the gravitational field strength will be equal to the gravitational force acting on the object.

The formula for gravitational field strength is

$g = \frac{F}{m}$

Here g is the gravitational field strength, m is the mass of the object placed on the surface and F is the gravitational force acting on the object.

Since, the mass of any object placed on the surface of earth will be negligible compared to the mass of Earth, so the mass of the object is considered as 1 kg.

Then the g = F

And $F =\frac{GMm}{r^{2} }$

Here G is the gravitational constant, M is the mass of Earth and m is the mass of the object placed on the surface, while r is the radius of the Earth.

$g = F = \frac{6 \times 10^{24} \times 6.67 \times 10^{-11} \times 1}{(6.6 \times 10^{6}) ^{2} }$
