Why do meteors in a meteor shower appear to come from just one point in the sky?

Physics
1 answer:
kolbaska11 [484]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

All the meteors in a meteor shower typically come from the same comet, which is in a periodic orbit around the Sun. The dust from the comet follows the path of the parent body and as Earth intersects the debris along the comet's orbit, it plows into this material. Since the dust particles are all moving together in space before they encounter Earth, if you trace back the streak of each meteor, its path will appear to diverge from one place in the sky.

Which statement best explains how density changes when a liquid becomes a gas
rusak2 [61]

Answer:

c. density decreases because the molecules move farther apart

Explanation:

As a liquid is heated, the molecules move faster and move farther apart.  This causes the volume to increase, which causes the density to decrease.

Density: Two blocks, A and B, are put in a tank of water. Block A has a density of 1.21 g/cm³. Block B has a density of 1.37 g/c
stira [4]

Answer:

Block A

Explanation:

Block A will float higher in the water compared to the second Block.

The density of water is 1g/cm³.

According to the principle of floatation "an object that floats in a liquid will displace equal amount of fluid to the weight of the object".

A body will become more submerged in water if it has more density because density is the mass per volume of  body.

An object with a higher density than another will sink in the liquid of the one with lesser density.

  • Object A has lesser density and will float higher up and displace very little water.
  • Object B has higher density and will be more submerged.
