Answer:

<em>Hello There. A The gravity of jupiter pulls it away from the Sun.</em>

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

The streams of dust and gas thus released form a huge, extremely tenuous atmosphere around the comet called the coma, and the force exerted on the coma by the Sun's radiation pressure and solar wind cause an enormous tail to form, which points away from the Sun.

A 2 kg ball with an initial velocity of 10 m/s moves at an angle 60º above the +x-direction. The ball hits a vertical wall and b
kow [346]

Answer:

I = 20 i ^ N s

Explanation:

For this problem let's use the Impulse equation

       I = Δp = m v_{f}- v₀

The impulse and the velocity are vector quantities, let's calculate on each axis, let's decompose the velocity

     cos 60 = vₓ / v

     vₓ = v cos 60

     sin60 = v_{y} / v

     v_{y} = v sin60

     vₓ = 10 cos 60

     v_{y} = 10 sin60

    vₓ = 5.0 m / s

    v_{y} = 8.66 m / s

Let's calculate the impulse on each axis

X axis

     Iₓ = m v_{xf} - m vₓ₀

How the ball bounces

    v_{xf} = - vₓ₀ = vₓ

    Iₓ = 2 m vₓ

    Iₓ = 2 2 5

    Iₓ = 20 N s

Y axis

   I_{y} = m v_{yf} - m vyo

On the axis and the ball does not change direction so

   v_{yf} = vyo

  I_{y} = 0

The total momentum is

   I = Iₓ i ^ + I_{y} j ^

   I = 20 i ^ N s

A tetrameric protein dissociates into dimers when the detergent sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) is added to a solution of the prote
KatRina [158]

Answer:

At the dimer-dimer interface there might be acting non-covalent forces (van der waals, Hidrogene bridges, hydrophobic forces)

At the monomer-monomer interface there might be covalent forces acting (disulfide bridges).

Explanation:

On the SDS-PAGE application  works by disrupting non-covalent bonds in the proteins, and so denaturing them. Therefore, the disulfide bridges won´t be disrupted, so the monomers will remain bounded.

koban [17]

Answer:

a)   a = 91.4 m / s²,  b)    t = 0.175 s, c)  

Explanation:

a) This is a kinematics exercise

           v² = vox ² + 2a (x-xo)

           a = v² - 0/2 (x-0)

           

let's calculate

          a = 16² / 2 1.4

          a = 91.4 m / s²

b) the shooting time

          v = vox + a t

          t = v-vox / a

          t = 16 / 91.4

          t = 0.175 s

c) let's use Newton's second law

          F = ma

          F = 7.9 91.4

          F = 733 N

Suppose you place a ball in the middle of a wagon, and then accelerate the wagon forward. Describe the motion of the ball relati
rjkz [21]

Answer:

The motion of the ball relative to the ground is stationary

The motion of the ball relative to the wagon is backwards

Explanation:

To describe the motion of the ball relative to the ground, we note that

Assuming the ball is perfectly round and rotate freely, then we have

Force on the ball due to motion of the wagon = 0 N,

Then by the law of motion, an object will remain at rest when no force is applied to it

Therefore, apart from rotation of the ball, it will remain no displacement relative to the ground.

The motion of the ball relative to the wagon

Relative to the wagon, the ball appears to be moving in the opposite direction to the wagon, that is backwards.
