Answer:

A meteor is  B) an icy body with a long tail extending from it.

Explanation:

Meteors are very small dust particles that, when penetrating into the Earth's atmosphere, burn quickly by rubbing with the gases of the same. Some meteors, those with larger dimensions and appreciable weights, are brighter and can describe longer trajectories, showing longer.

In other words, the meteoroids, celestial bodies can vary in size between 100 micrometers up to 50 meters, they collide with the atmosphere of our planet and if the particles are of a small size, upon impact they enter combustion creating a flash, is what we know as meteor or shooting star. Therefore, the meteor is a luminous phenomenon that leaves behind a persistent trail.

So, <u><em>a meteor is  B) an icy body with a long tail extending from it.</em></u>

WILL MARK BRAINLIESTFor the simple harmonic motion equation d =4sin(8pit) what is the period?
shtirl [24]
The period of any wave is the time it takes for its angle
to go from zero to 2pi .

The 'sin' function is a wave.  The angle of this one is (8pi t).

When t=0, the angle is zero.
Wonderful.
Now, how long does it take for the angle to grow to 2pi ?

I*n other words, when is (8pi t) = 2pi ?

Divide each side by '2pi': . . . . . 4 t = 1

Divide each side by ' 4 ': . . . . . t = 1/4

And there you are.  Every time 't' grows by 1/4, (8pi t) grows by 2pi.
So if you graph this simple harmonic motion described by 'd', you'll
see the graph wiggle up and down with a period of 1/4 .

What evidence can you cite to support the claim that the frequency of light does not change upon reflection?
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer: The color of an image is identical to the color of the object forming the image. When you look at yourself in a mirror, the color of your eyes doesn’t change. The fact that the color is the same is evidence that the frequency of light doesn’t change upon reflection. 2.

Hope this helps!!

If themass is 50kg, what weight of water is to be displaced to float on water? why
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:if youre looking for the weight of the thermas in genral it should be 500n

Explanation:using the formula w=mg

w=500x10

giving us 500 newtons which is the weight.

1. The gravitational force acting on a falling body and its weight is constant. But the law of universal gravitation tells us th
vagabundo [1.1K]
It's not so much a "contradiction" as an approximation. Newton's law of gravitation is an inverse square law whose range is large. It keeps people on the ground, and it keeps satellites in orbit and that's some thousands of km. The force on someone on the ground - their weight - is probably a lot larger than the centripetal force keeping a satellite in orbit (though I've not actually done a calculation to totally verify this). The distance a falling body - a coin, say - travels is very small, and over such a small distance gravity is assumed/approximated to be constant.

Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

Tangential

Explanation: This is a kind of force which act on a moving body in such a way that it is curved in the direction of the path of the body. This implies that when the velocity of the object is positive, the acceleration will be negative.
