How do asteroids and comets differ?

Physics
1 answer:
aalyn [17]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Explained

Explanation:

Asteroids: Asteroids are generally made up of rocky material, metals and their size are large in  comparison to comets. Asteroid belt is found between Jupiter and Mars.

Comets: Comets are made up of ice, dust and rocky material. Generally smaller in size and are far from the Sun. With each orbit nearing the sun ice of the comet vaporize in form of blazing tail.

What is the frequency of a photon with an energy of 4. 56 x 10^-19 j
Sauron [17]

The frequency of a photon with an energy of 4.56 x 10⁻¹⁹ J is 6.88×10¹⁴ s⁻¹.

<h3>What is a frequency?</h3>

The number of waves that travel through a particular point in a given length of time is described by frequency. So, if a wave takes half a second to pass, the frequency is 2 per second.

Given that the energy of the photon is 4.56 x 10⁻¹⁹ J. Therefore, the frequency of the photon can be written as,

\rm \gamma = \dfrac{E}{h} = \dfrac{4.56x10^{-19} J}{6.626 \times 10^{-34}\ Jsec^{-1}}\\\\\\\gamma  = 6.88 \times 10^{14}\ s^{-1}

Hence, the frequency of a photon with an energy of 4.56 x 10⁻¹⁹ J is 6.88×10¹⁴ s⁻¹.

Why can gases be compressed
Keith_Richards [23]
Gases can be compressed, because they just take up the space surrounding them. The attractive forces between the particles in a gas are very weak, so the particles are free to move in random direction. They just move along until they collide, either with the walls of the container or with each other. Moreover, gases can be compressed because the particles are far apart and they have space to move into.

A Van de Graaff generator is one of the original particle accelerators and can be used to accelerate charged particles like prot
Rzqust [24]

Answer:

595391.482946 m/s

3.21875\times 10^{6}

Explanation:

E = Energy = 1.85 keV

I = Current = 5.15 mA

e = Charge of electron = 1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C

t = Time taken = 1 second

m = Mass of proton = 1.67\times 10^{-27}\ kg

Velocity of proton is given by

v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2E}{m}}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 1.85\times 10^3\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}}{1.67\times 10^{-27}}}\\\Rightarrow v=595391.482946\ m/s

The speed of the proton is 595391.482946 m/s

Current is given by

I=\dfrac{\Delta Q}{t}\\\Rightarrow \Delta Q=It\\\Rightarrow \Delta Q=5.15\times 10^{-3}\times (1\ sec)\\\Rightarrow Q=5.15\times 10^{-3}\ C

Number of protons is

n=\dfrac{Q}{e}\\\Rightarrow n=\dfrac{5.15\times 10^{-3}}{1.6\times 10^{-19}}\\\Rightarrow n=3.21875\times 10^{6}\ protons

The number of protons is 3.21875\times 10^{6}

A steel piano string of mass per unit lenght 4×10-⁴kgm-¹ was struck, if the speed of the sound on the string is 300ms-¹. Calcula
attashe74 [19]

Answer:

36 N

Explanation:

Velocity of a standing wave in a stretched string is:

v = √(T/ρ),

where T is the tension and ρ is the mass per unit length.

300 m/s = √(T / 4×10⁻⁴ kg/m)

T = 36 N
