Assume a comet is traveling at a constant velocity in deep space. Why would it speed up as it approaches our solar system?

Physics

D
The comet has no net force acting on it, which results in constant velocity. Near our solar system, the influence of the gravitational forces due to the sun and the planets will increase as we know that gravitational force is:
F = GMm/r²
The net force will produce an acceleration on the comet, which will cause its velocity to change.

you’ve just been involved in a traffic accident that leaves you stranded on the side of the road. Which part of the EM spectrum
Akimi4 [234]

You’ve just been involved in a traffic accident that leaves you stranded on the side of the road. <u>Microwaves from the EM spectrum would be of the most use.</u>

<u></u>

Explanation:

  • Microwaves are a form of electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths ranging from about one meter to one millimeter, with frequencies between 300 MHz and 300 GHz.
  • Microwaves have a range of applications, including communications, radar and, perhaps best known by most people, cooking
  • Microwave is a line-of-sight wireless communication technology that uses high frequency beams of radio waves to provide high speed wireless connections that can send and receive voice, video, and data information.
  • Microwaves and radio waves are used to communicate with satellites.
  • Microwaves pass straight through the atmosphere and are suitable for communicating with distant geostationary satellites, while radio waves are suitable for communicating with satellites in low orbit.
  • Microwaves are widely used in modern technology, <u>for example</u> : in point-to-point communication links, wireless networks, microwave radio relay networks, radar, satellite and spacecraft communication, medical diathermy and cancer treatment, etc

Pls help with this question i’ll give brainliest
bearhunter [10]

Answer:

5m/s to the right

Explanation:

Momentum = mass * velocity

Momentum before = momentum after

m₁u₁+m₂u₂ = m₁v₁+m₂v₂

3000*10 + 1000*0 = 3000*v₁ + 1000*15

30000-15000=3000v₁

15000=3000v₁

v₁=5m/s to the right (to the right because answer is positive)

Two students walk in the same direction along a straight path, at a constant speed one at 0.90 m/s and the other at 1.90 m/s. a.
creativ13 [48]

Answer: a) 456.66 s ; b) 564.3 m

Explanation: The time spend to cover any distance a constant velocity is given by:

v= distance/time so t=distance/v

The slower student time is: t=780m/0.9 m/s= 866.66 s

For the faster students t=780 m/1,9 m/s= 410.52 s

Therefore the time difference is 866.66-410.52= 456.14 s

In order to calculate the distance that faster student should  walk

to arrive 5,5 m before that slower student, we consider the follow expressions:

distance =vslower*time1

distance= vfaster*time 2

The time difference is 5.5 m that is equal to 330 s

replacing in the above expression we have

time 1= 627 s

time2 = 297 s

The distance traveled is 564,3 m

A river flows due east with a speed of 3.00 m/s relative to earth. The river is 80.0 m wide. A woman starts at the southern bank
babymother [125]

Answer:

48 m

Explanation:

As she travels at the rate of 5m/s due north, the amount of time it would take for her to cross the 80m wide river would be

t = 80 / 5 = 16 seconds

This is also the time it takes for the river to push her to the east side at the rate of 3m/s. So after 16 seconds, she would reach the opposite point at a horizontal distance from her starting of

s = 16*3 = 48 m

If 28.0 J of work is done by an external force to move a charge from a potential of 8.0 V 8.0 V to a potential of 4.0 V , 4.0 V,
jonny [76]

Answer:

Change in electric potential energy is -28.0 J

Explanation:

Electric potential energy is defined as the work is done to move a charge particle from one position to another in space in the presence of other charge particle or electric potential.

                                               OR

Electric potential energy is also equal to the change in the configuration of the charge particles.

Thus,

Change in electric potential energy = - Work Done

According to the problem, Work Done is equal to 28 J. Thus,

Change in electric potential energy = -28 J
