How can a comet become the source of meteoroids and meteors?

Comets are made out of rock and ice, looking like dirty snowballs in space. The ice alone, is not only made of water, but also carbon dioxide, methane, and other things. As a comet approaches the sun, it melts and leaves behind bits of rock to orbit the sun. Soon earth will collide with its orbit and meteoroids and meteors form.

I really hope this helps!

I am quite sure that when a comet comes flying down to eart little chunks began to just come off or float away and meteoroids go where you can see it and meteors hit the ground

Give an example of how electrical energy and thermal energy are connected.
mafiozo [28]
A toaster draws electric current (electrical energy) from a wall outlet and converts these moving electric charges into heat (thermal energy) in the filaments that turn red hot to cook your toast. ... As electricity runs through the filaments in a space heater, the electrical energy is converted into heat (thermal energy).
Hopefully this helped.

pashok25 [27]
I think the correct answer would be that the temperature of the clouds that made the very first stars where thought to be higher since the clouds are made up of hydrogen and helium. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.

Two objects of the same mass, but made of different materials, are initially at the same temperature. Equal amounts of heat are
adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

The final temperature of the two objects is the same.

Explanation:

The expression for the heat energy in terms of mass, specific heat and the change in the temperature is as follows:

Q=mc(T_{f} -T_{i})

Here, Q is the heat energy, m is the mass of the object, c is the specific heat and T_{f},T_{i} are the final temperature and initial temperature.

According to the given question, Two objects of the same mass, but made of different materials, are initially at the same temperature. Equal amounts of heat are added to each object.

Q=mc(T_{f}-T_{i})                                             ............(1)

Q=mc(T'_{f}-T_{i})                                            .............(2)

From (1) and (2),

mc(T_{f}-T_{i})=mc(T'_{f}-T_{i})

T_{f}-T_{i}=T'_{f}-T_{i}

T_{f}=T'_{f}

Therefore, the final temperature of the two objects is the same.
