Why do comets have tails?

1 answer:

6 0

Combining solar radiation pressure and solar wind blows away gas and dust from the nucleus, to what we see as a tail, is really two tails: the ion tail and the dust tail

The boiling point for liquid nitrogen at atmospheric pressure is 77k. Is the temperature of an open container of liquid nitrogen

algol13

Answer:
It would be lower than because, if the boiling point of that element is 77 Kelvin degrees then if it isn’t at boiling point it would automatically be cooler than that. Even if it’s at its original state. The normal temperature of Liquid Nitrogen is really cold -320.8 degrees.

An air balloon is moving upward at a constant speed of 3 m/s. Suddenly a passenger realizes that she left her camera on the grou

frosja888 [35]

Answer:t=0.3253 s

Explanation:

Given

speed of balloon is $u=3\ m/s$

speed of camera $u_1=20\ m/s$

Initial separation between camera and balloon is $d_o=5\ m$

Suppose after t sec of throw camera reach balloon then,

distance travel by balloon is

$s=ut$

$s=3\times t$

and distance travel by camera to reach balloon is

$s_1=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2$

$s_1=20\times t-\frac{1}{2}gt^2$

Now

$\Rightarrow s_1=5+s$

$\Rightarrow 20\times t-\frac{1}{2}gt^2 =5+3t$

$\Rightarrow 5t^2-17t+5=0$

$\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{17\pm \sqrt{17^2-4(5)(5)}}{2\times 5}$

$\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{17\pm 13.747}{10}$

$\Rightarrow t=0.3253\ s\ \text{and}\ t=3.07\ s$

There are two times when camera reaches the same level as balloon and the smaller time is associated with with the first one .

(b)When passenger catches the camera time is $t=0.3253\ s$

velocity is given by

$v=u+at$

$v=20-10\times 0.3253$

$v=16.747\ m/s$

and position of camera is same as of balloon so

Position is $=5+3\times 0.3253$

$=5.975\approx 6\ m$

What law states force is dependent on the mass and acceleration of an object

UNO [17]

Answer:

Newton's second law of motion

Explanation:

Newton's second law of motion can be stated

The acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.

in another form,

Force = mass * acceleration
