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

liquid helium has a very low boiling point, 4.2 k, as well as a very low latent heat of vaporization, 2.00 104 j/kg. if energy i

aksik [14]

$4.80 \times 10^3 \text { seconds }$ long does it take to boil away 2.40 kg of the liquid.

Boiling point of He is $T=4.2 \mathrm{k}$

Latent heat of vapourization $L=2.00 \times 10^4 \mathrm{~J} / \mathrm{kg}$

Power of electrical heater $P=30 \mathrm{w}$

mass of liquid is $m=2.40 \mathrm{~kg}$

amount of heat required to boil

$\begin{aligned}&Q=m L \\&Q=2.40 \times 2 \times 10^4 \mathrm{~J} \\&Q=4.80 \times 10^4 \mathrm{~J}\end{aligned}$

Power $p=\frac{\text { work }}{\text { time }}=\frac{\text { Energy }}{\text { Time }}$

$\begin{aligned}P &=\frac{Q}{t} \\\text { tine } t &=\frac{Q}{P}=\frac{4.80 \times 10^4 \mathrm{~J}}{10} \\t &=4.80 \times 10^3 \text { seconds }\end{aligned}$

The heat or energy that is absorbed or released during a substance's phase shift is known as latent heat. It could go from a solid to a liquid or from a liquid to a gas, or vice versa. Enthalpy, a characteristic of heat, is connected to latent heat.

The heat that is used or lost as matter melts and transitions from a solid to a fluid form at a constant temperature is known as the latent heat of fusion.

Due to the fact that during softening the heat energy anticipated to transform the substance from solid to fluid at air pressure is the latent heat of fusion and that the temperature remains constant during the process, the "enthalpy" of fusion is a latent heat. The enthalpy change of any quantity of material during dissolution is known as the latent heat of fusion.

If each of the charges is increased by two times and the distance between them is also increased by two times, the electromagnet

PIT_PIT [208]

Answer: The force does not change.

Explanation:

The force between two charges q₁ and q₂ is:

F = k*(q₁*q₂)/r^2

where:

k is a constant.

r is the distance between the charges.

Now, if we increase the charge of each particle two times, then the new charges will be: 2*q₁ and 2*q₂.

If we also increase the distance between the charges two times, the new distance will be 2*r

Then the new force between them is:

F = k*(2*q₁*2*q₂)/(2*r)^2 = k*(4*q₁*q₂)/(4*r^2) = (4/4)*k*(q₁*q₂)/r^2 = k*(q₁*q₂)/r^2

This is exactly the same as we had at the beginning, then we can conclude that if we increase each of the charges two times and the distance between the charges two times, the force between the charges does not change.
