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.

Airplane with nose up: The plane's speed through the air is the square root of (80 m/s squared) plus (120 m/s squared. The whole picture is a right triangle, and the plane's speed is the hypotenuse. The angle is the angle whose tangent is (80/120). You can get it from a calculator, a book, a slide rule, or online from the site that rhymes with floogle. The man pulling the load is also a right triangle. The horizontal component is (hypotenuse) times (cosine of the angle). The vertical component is (hypotenuse) times (sine of the same angle). Fill in what you know, look up the sin and cos of 25 degrees and write those in too, and then you can solve for what you have to find.
