What is the tail of a comet made of

Physics
1 answer:
ycow [4]3 years ago
3 0
The tail consists of gas and dust that can extend hundreds of millions of kilometers away from the coma. Most comets actually have 2 tails: a plasma tail made of ionizedgas, and a dust tail made of small solidparticles. Comet tails point away from the Sun.

A horizontal force of 150 N is used to push a 40.0-kg packing crate a distance of 6.00 m on a rough horizontal surface. If the c
icang [17]

Answer:

a. 900 J

b. 0.383

Explanation:

According to the question, the given data is as follows

Horizontal force = 150 N

Packing crate = 40.0 kg

Distance = 6.00 m

Based on the above information

a. The work done by the 150-N force is

W = F x = \mu N x = \mu\ m\ g\ x

W = 150 \times 6

= 900 J

b. Now the coefficient of kinetic friction between the crate and surface is

\mu = \frac {F}{m\timesg}

= \frac{150}{40\times 9.8}

= .383

We simply applied the above formulas so that each one part could calculate

Does the temperature of a material always increase as it is heated? Explain briefly.
Lerok [7]
To answer your question, no,
temperature does not always increase as it is heated. Adding heat does not always increase the temp.
For example, when water is boiling, adding heat does not increase the temperature. This occurs at the boiling temp of every substance that can vaporize. 

Hope this explanation was helpful and brief! :)

A beaker contains 450g of water at a temperature of 24C, The therman capacity of the beaker is negligible and no heat is gained
valentina_108 [34]
Given:

450 grams of water (Tw = 24 C) 
Thermal capacity of the beaker = negligible
Q = 0 
Tice = 0 C
Tfinal = 8 C

450g * (Tf - Tw) + m_ice * (Tice - Tw) = 0

450g * (8 - 24) + m_ice (0 - 24) = 0 

solve for m_ice

An object moves in simple harmonic motion with amplitude 11m and period 4 minutes. At time t = 0 minutes, its displacement d fro
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

Explanation:

Angular velocity ω = 2π / T = 2 x 3 . 14 / (4 x 60 ) = .026 rad / s.

d = D Sin ( ωt + θ )  where  D = amplitude = 11 m θ = initial phase.

-11 = 11 sin ( 0 + θ ) = sin θ = -1 , θ = - π /2

So, d = D Sin ( ωt - θ )

         d = 11  Sin ( .026 t -  π /2  ) is the required equation.
