A second important difference between comets coming from the Kuiper Belt and from the Oort cloud is represented by their different characteristic periods.
In fact, short period comets are thought to generate in the Kuiper belt and have rather predictable orbits with short periods (up to 200 years). There are two major families of short period comets: the Jupiter family with periods of less than 20 years and the Halley family with periods form 20 to 200 years. That's short
It appears to be a <span>spiral shape. </span>
Great experiment ! Everybody should try it if they can get the equipment.
It demonstrates a lot of things that are very hard to explain in words.
I hope the students remembered to tilt the axis of the globe. If they didn't,
and instead kept it straight up and down, then each city had pretty much
the same amount of bulb-light all the way around, and there were no seasons.
If the axis of the globe was tilted, then City-D had the least variation in
seasons. City-D is only 2° from the equator, so the sun is more direct
there all year around than it is at any of the others.
Answer:
Also 3s.
Explanation:
Each component is independent in two dimensional motion. This means that <em>how much time does something take to reach the ground when dropped is independent from any horizontal velocity</em>. If at one run a drop lasts 3s, at another run with twice the (horizontal) velocity and same height will also last 3s, no matter what.
Answer:
B) the change in momentum.
Explanation:
The impulse is defined as the product between the force applied on an object (F) and the duration of the collision (
):
(1)
We can rewrite the force by using Newton's second law, as the product between mass (m) and acceleration (a):
So, (1) becomes
Now we can also rewrite the acceleration as ratio between the change in velocity and change in time: 
. If we substitute into the previous equation, we find
And the quantity 
is equivalent to the change in momentum, 
.
