Answer: Asteroids, meteoroids, and comets are remnants of the early solar system. This Statement is TRUE.

Explanation:

METEOROID: these are small rocky or metallic objects found in outer space.

ASTEROIDS: these are also known as minor planets of the inner solar system. They are irregularly shaped object in space that orbits the Sun.

COMETS: these are dusty chunk of ice, that moves in a highly elliptical orbit about the sun.

Asteroids, meteoroids, and comets as remnants of the early solar system was further proved in nebular hypothesis

initially proposed in the eighteenth century by German philosopher Immanuel Kant and French mathematician Pierre-Simon Laplace. (The word nebula means a gaseous cloud.) According to the modern version of the theory, about 4.5 to 5 billion years ago the solar system developed out of a huge cloud of gases and dust floating through space. These materials were at first very thin and highly dispersed.

Stels [109]

Complete Question

Question 18 (3 points) Solve the problem. (3 points) A solar reflector is made using 31 identical triangular-shaped mirrors, each having sides 2.4m, 2. 3m, 1.5 m. What is the total surface area of the reflector?

A) 33 m2

B) 86 m2

C) 52 m2

D) 34 m2

Answer:

The value is $Area =2.78 \ m^2$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The sides are a = 2.4 m

b = 2.3 m

c = 1.5 m

Generally the semi perimeter is mathematically represented as

$s = \frac { a + b + c }{2 }$

=> $s = \frac { 2.4 + 2.3 + 1.5 }{2 }$

=> $s =3.1 \ m$

Generally the using Heron's formula we have that the surface are a is mathematically represented as

$Area = \sqrt{S (S - a) (S - b )(S - c ) }$

=> $Area = \sqrt{3.1 (3.1 - 2.4) (3.1 - 2.3 )(3.1 - 1.5 ) }$

=> $Area =2.78 \ m^2$

An amateur astronomer grinds a double convex lens whose surfaces have radii of curvature of 40 cm and 60 cm. The glass has an in

DedPeter [7]

Answer:

44.4cm

Explanation:

glass has an index of refraction .n = 1.54

radii of curvature of 40 cm R1 = 40 by

radii of curvature of 600 cm R2 = 60

Now, by lens maker formula

1/f = (n - 1) (1/R1 - 1/R2)

Putting in the given values for n = 1.54 , we get f = 22.2

$\frac{1}{f} = (1.54 -1) (\frac{1}{40cm} -\frac{1}{(-60cm)} )$

$\frac{1}{f} = 0.0225$

f = 1 / 0.0225

f = 44.4cm

so, focal length in air will be = 44.4 cm

Describe electronegativity, and explain the trend of electronegativity in the Periodic Table

vaieri [72.5K]

Explanation:

Electronegativity is the property of an atom that attracts the shared pair of an electron to itself. There is a trend in the periodic table.

While moving down in a group, the electronegativity decreases. This is due to the reason that as we move down the number of shells added and so the electron become very far from the pull of the nucleus.

As we move across a period the electronegativity increases. This is because of the no. of charge on the nucleus increase.
