4 0

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>

A 100 kg mass is pulled along a frictionless surface by a horizontal force F such that its acceleration is 10.0 m/s2. A 20 kg ma
DIA [1.3K]

Answer

given,

mass = 100 kg

acceleration = 10 m/s²

A mass 20 kg slides over 100 kg block

acceleration = 3 m/s²

horizontal friction exerted by the 100 kg block on 20 kg

using newton's second law

F - f = 0

F = f

f = ma

f = 20 × 3

f = 60 N

now net force acting on the 100 kg block

F_net = m a

F_net = 100 x 10

F_net = 1000 N

after 20 kg block falls the acceleration of the bock

F = 1000 +60

F = 1060 N

acceleartion on the block

a = \dfrac{F}{m}

a = \dfrac{1060}{100}

a = 10.60 m/s²

What characteristics do atoms of carbon-12, carbon-13, and carbon-14 have in common? 1. same number of electrons 2. same number
Rasek [7]

Answer:

The most common of these is carbon 12, 13, 14. All of these isotopes have the same atomic number but different mass numbers. Carbon has the atomic number of 6 which means that all isotopes have the same proton number. However, the number of neutrons is different, thus giving different mass numbers.
