How does a comet change as it travels through space

Physics

AfilCa [17]3 years ago

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>

What would you do to improve the precision of an experiment?
GenaCL600 [577]

Explanation:

Precision represents that how close the different measurements of the sample one take are to one another.

  • One can increase the precision in lab by paying attention to each and every detail.
  • Usage of the equipment properly and also increasing the sample size.
  • Ensuring that the equipment is calibrated properly. They should be clean and functioning. Using equipment which is not functioning correctly can cause results to swing wildly and also bits of the debris stuck to the equipment can influence the measurements of the mass and the volume.
  • Each measurement must be taken multiple times, especially if experiments in which combining of the substances in specific amounts is involved.

hram777 [196]

Answer:

F₃ = 122.88 N

θ₃ = 20.63°

Explanation:

First we find the components of F₁:

For x-component:

F₁ₓ = F₁ Cos θ₁

F₁ₓ = (50 N) Cos 60°

F₁ₓ = 25 N

For y-component:

F₁y = F₁ Sin θ₁

F₁y = (50 N) Sin 60°

F₁y = 43.3 N

Now, for F₂. As, F₂ acts along x-axis. Therefore, its y-component will be zero and its x-xomponent will be equal to the magnitude of force itself:

F₂ₓ = F₂ = 90 N

F₂y = 0 N

Now, for the resultant force on ball to be zero, the sum of x-components of the forces and the sum of the y-component of the forces must also be equal to zero:

F₁ₓ + F₂ₓ + F₃ₓ = 0 N

25 N + 90 N + F₃ₓ = 0 N

F₃ₓ = - 115 N

for y-components:

F₁y + F₂y + F₃y = 0 N

43.3 N + 0 N + F₃y = 0 N

F₃y = - 43.3 N

Now, the magnitude of F₃ can be found as:

F₃ = √F₃ₓ² + F₃y²

F₃ = √[(- 115 N)² + (- 43.3 N)²]

<u>F₃ = 122.88 N</u>

and the direction is given as:

θ₃ = tan⁻¹(F₃y/F₃ₓ) = tan⁻¹(-43.3 N/-115 N)

<u>θ₃ = 20.63°</u>
