How does a comet change as it travels through space

Physics
1 answer:
AfilCa [17]3 years ago
5 0
Comets are like "dirty snowballs"; frozen gasses with dust and rocks in them. Each pass near the Sun causes the comet's nucleus to be exposed to intense sunlight, which causes some tiny fraction of the gas to evaporate and carry some of the dust and rock away into space. The gas and dust, near the Sun, cause the comet's "tail", and repeated passes cause dust and rock to spread out along most of the orbit of a comet. When the Earth enters one of these trails of old comet dust, we have meteor showers. 

<span>On rare occasions, comets break apart or even more rarely, crash into planets. In 1994, the comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 broke apart and then collided with the planet Jupiter.</span>

Identify trends in physical properties based on intermolecular forces
umka21 [38]

The Boiling point,melting point, surface tension and viscousity will increase while the Vapor pressure will decrease.

<h3 /><h3>What are intermolecular forces?</h3>

Intermolecular forces are the forces that bind two molecules together. Physical properties are affected by the strength of intermolecular forces

An increase in the strength of intermolecular forces increases will lead to an increase in force applied to break the barriers posed by the strength of the molecules.

This increased intermolecular strength will cause a rise in boiling point,melting point, viscousity and surface tension.

The Vapor pressure reduces with increasing intermolecular strength. Vapor pressure is the amount of vapor that is equilibrium with its own liquid or solid. Hence,with increasing intermolecular strength the amount of vapor that is in equilibrium with its own liquid will reduce.

A school bus moves at speed of 35mi/he for 20miles. How long will it take for the bus to get to school
lara [203]

Answer:

Time, t = 0.57 hours

Explanation:

It is given that,

Speed of the school bus, v = 35 mi/hr

Distance covered by the bus, d = 20 miles

We need to find the time taken by the bus to get to school. Time taken by the bus is given by :

t = 0.57 hours

So, the time taken by the bus to reach school is 0.57 hours. Hence, this is the required solution.
