That's the familiar description of a comet.

If I were the amateur astronomer who discovered the new comet, then
according to the tradition of the astronomical community, I would have
the privilege of naming it.  I would call it  Comet AL2006/2016.

Answer:  C. comets.

Explanation:

  • Asteroids are rocky objects majority of which are found in belt between orbits of Mars and Jupiter. Example: Ceres
  • Dwarf planets are similar in composition to planets and are found in Kuiper belt. Pluto is a dwarf planet.
  • A comet has a solid rocky core surrounded by atmosphere of frozen gases. Comets are present in the outskirts of the solar system and orbit the Sun in an elliptical orbit.
  • Moons are are natural satellites revolving about planets. Example: Titan, Phobos and Deimos etc.

Object Z is made of frozen gases that surround a rocky core and it travels in a highly elliptical orbit around the sun.  The characteristics are similar to ones of comets. Thus, object Z closely resembles a comet.

Why doesn't the skateboarder roll as high each time she goes up the ramp
Westkost [7]

Answer:

The skater has mechanical/gravitational potential energy at the two meter mark. The skater gets to two meters high on the other end of the ramp. In terms of the conservation of energy, the skater will never go higher than two meter on the other end of the the ramp because energy can be neither created nor destroyed.

Can You help me understand how to calculate net force please
VladimirAG [237]
To start off.. add any and all the vectors acting on the same axis (x and y), making sure to pay attention to the director of the vectors. you are often able to ignore many of the forces that cancel each other out. make sure to focus on the forces that are actualy involved in how the object will move. Then you calculate the net force acting on the object in the situation
Since nothing is happening along the y-axis, you can ignore the Fg (300N)and FN (20N) forces.

FNET = Fa + Ff

= 80N + -70N

FNET = 10N

you have to make the friction a negative force
because it is pointing in the direction opposite to the applied force.

When you want to calculate the acceleration of an object, always use the net force acting on it.

you aren’t subtracting the two forces.
Instead, it’s up to you to remember that if one of the forces is pointing in one direction (like to the right), and the other force is pointing in the other direction (like to the left), you will need to make one positive and the other negative.

i don’t really know how to explain this super well. i hope this helps!!

The answer to your question will be C. because they are very inexpensive and are readily available but they will eventually deplete because we use them faster than they can be produced we use what has been building up.

Is light a wave or a particle? (points 1)
FinnZ [79.3K]
None of the choices is an acceptable answer. Light ... as well as all other forms of electromagnetic radiation ... is both. When you run light through an experiment built to detect particles ... such as photoelectric stimulation of electron emission ... the light behaves like a stream of particles. When you set up an experiment built to measure and detect waves ... like reflection, refraction, diffraction, dispersion, constructive and destructive interference ... the light does all of those things too. Scientists would only debate the question if light absolutely positively had to be one or the other, and could not possibly be both. Such a debate isn't necessary, and scientists no longer waste their time arguing about it. Light is both. Between Maxwell and Einstein, the wave/particle duality of light had been convincingly demonstrated well over a hundred years ago.
