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.

Describe what happens to chromosomes before mitosis.
Brums [2.3K]

Explanation:

Before mitosis, the chromosomes are copied. They then coil up, and each chromosome looks like a letter X in the nucleus of the cell. The chromosomes now consist of two sister chromatids. Mitosis separates these chromatids, so that each new cell has a copy of every chromosome

Why echo sound cannot be heard in small room
Art [367]
They can't hear an echo in small room because in it the sound can't be reflected back. For an echo of a sound to be heard,the minimum distance between the source of sound and the walls of the roomshould be 17.2 m. Obviously,in asmall room echoes cannot beheard.

The escape velocity is defined to be the minimum speed with which an object of mass m must move to escape from the gravitational
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

v = √2G M_{earth} / R

Explanation:

For this problem we use energy conservation, the energy initiated is potential and kinetic and the final energy is only potential (infinite r)

        Eo = K + U = ½ m1 v² - G m1 m2 / r1

        Ef = - G m1 m2 / r2

When the body is at a distance R> Re, for the furthest point (r2) let's call it Rinf

       Eo = Ef

       ½ m1v² - G m1 M_{earth} / R = - G m1 M_{earth} / R

      v² = 2G M_{earth} (1 / R - 1 / Rinf)

If we do Rinf = infinity     1 / Rinf = 0

       v = √2G M_{earth} / R

      Ef = = - G m1 m2 / R

The mechanical energy is conserved  

 

      Em = -G m1  M_{earth} / R

      Em = - G m1  M_{earth} / R

     R = int        ⇒  Em = 0

Which of the following statements about Gaussʹs law are correct? (There may be more than one correct choice.) Question 3 options
irina1246 [14]

Answer:

If a Gaussian surface is completely inside an electrostatic conductor, the electric field must always be zero at all points on that surface.

Explanation:

Option A is incorrect because, given this case, it is easier to calculate the field.

Option B is incorrect because, in a situation where the surface is placed inside a uniform field, option B is violated

Option C is also incorrect because it is possible to be a field from outside charges, but there will be an absence of net flux through the surface from these.

Hence, option D is the correct answer. "If a Gaussian surface is completely inside an electrostatic conductor, the electric field must always be zero at all points on that surface."
