Answer:

orbit the sun have very elliptical orbits

are made of frozen gas and ice

Explanation:

Comets are the made up of dry ice, frozen water, gases and dust particles. it is called dirty snow balls as their nucleus carry frozen water and pieces of rock.

Comets move around the sun in an elliptical orbits and follow Kepler's Laws saying that they move faster when closer to the Sun.

Comets have tails even when they are far from the sun and the tails that point away from the sun.

Hence, the correct options are "orbit the sun have very elliptical orbits and are made of frozen gas and ice".

A ruler of length 0.30m is pivoted at its centre. Equal and opposite forces of magnitude 2.0N are applied to the ends of the rul

kow [346]

Answer:

0.3858 Nm

Explanation:

The torque of the couple is the dot product of the force vector and the couple vector from 1 end of the ruler to the center. This equals to the product of their magnitude times the cosine() of the angle made by their direction:

$T = \vec{F} \cdot \vec{s} = Fscos(50^0) = 2 * 0.3 * 0.643 = 0.3858 Nm$

A rectangular dam is 101 ft long and 54 ft high. If the water is 35 ft deep, find the force of the water on the dam (the density

blsea [12.9K]

To solve this problem we will begin by finding the pressure through density and average depth. Later we will find the Force, by means of the relation of the pressure and the area.

$P = \rho h$
