Answer:

option A

Explanation:

The meteor shower is the celestial activity in which meteors are observed to radiate or originate from one point.

Meteors are nothing but dust or ice from the trails of comets. Most of the meteors are less than the size of the sand particle.

We will see comet shower when we earth will cross the orbit of the comet.

Hence, the correct answer is option A

steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

$W=K_f-K_i$

Explanation:

The work done on a particle by external forces is defined as:

$W=\int\limits^{r_f}_{r_i} {F\cdot dr} \,$

According to Newton's second law $F=ma$ . Thus:

$W=\int\limits^{r_f}_{r_i}{ma\cdot dr} \,\\$

Acceleration is defined as the derivative of the speed with respect to time:

$W=m\int\limits^{r_f}_{r_i}{\frac{dv}{dt}\cdot dr} \,\\\\W=m\int\limits^{r_f}_{r_i}{dv \cdot \frac{dr}{dt}} \,$

Speed is defined as the derivative of the position with respect to time:

$W=m\int\limits^{v_f}_{v_i} v \cdot dv \,$

Kinetic energy is defined as $K=\frac{mv^2}{2}$ :

$W=m\frac{v_f^2}{2}-m\frac{v_i^2}{2}\\W=K_f-K_i$

yuradex [85]

Answer:

Explanation:

Formula E=F/C also E=V/d

In this case use the second formula; E=V/d

Data given; E=4N/C d=8m

So v=E X d

V=4x8=32V

k.e=eV= 2X32=64eV

Explain why it takes more energy to remove the second electron from a lithium atom than it does to remove the fourth electron fr

slava [35]

It takes more energy to remove the second electron from a lithium atom than it does to remove the fourth electron from a carbon atom because its inner core e, not valence e. C's 4th removed e is still a valence e. And also <span>because more nuclear charge acting on the second electron, it is more close to the nucleus, thus the the protons attract it more than the 4th electron.</span>
