How do you identify short and long term comets

1 answer:

8 0

A second important difference between comets coming from the Kuiper Belt and from the Oort cloud is represented by their different characteristic periods.
In fact, short period comets are thought to generate in the Kuiper belt and have rather predictable orbits with short periods (up to 200 years). There are two major families of short period comets: the Jupiter family with periods of less than 20 years and the Halley family with periods form 20 to 200 years. That's short

As the frequency of the ac voltage across a capacitor approaches zero, the capacitive reactance of that capacitor:_______.

Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

b. approaches infinity

Explanation:

Because Capacitive reactance is given as Xc = 1/ωC

So we can see that the value of capacitive reactance and therefore its overall impedance (in Ohms) decreases to zero as the frequency increases acting like a short circuit.

Same as the frequency approaches zero or DC, the capacitors reactance increases to infinity, acting like an open circuit which is why capacitors block DC

A rigid container holds 0.30g of hydrogen gas.

Strike441 [17]

Answer:

Part A: $\mathbf{Q =94 \ J}$ to two significant figures

Part B: $\mathbf{Q =160 \ J}$ to two significant figures

Part C: $\mathbf{Q =220 \ J}$ to two significant figures

Explanation:

Given that :

mass of the hydrogen = 0.30 g

the molar mass of hydrogen gas molecule = 2 g/mol

we all know that:

number of moles = mass/molar mass

number of moles = 0.30 g /2 g/mol

number of moles = 0.15 mol

For low temperature between the range of 50 K to 100 K, the specific heat at constant volume for a diatomic gas molecule = $C_v=\dfrac{3}{2}R$

For Part A:

$Q = mC_v\Delta T$

$Q= 0.15 \ mol (\dfrac{3}{2})(8.314 \ J/mole.K )(100-50)K$

$Q= 0.15 \times (\dfrac{3}{2}) \times (8.314 \ J )\times (50)$

$Q=93.5325 \ J$

$\mathbf{Q =94 \ J}$ to two significant figures

Part B. For hot temperature, $C_v=\dfrac{5}{2}R$

$Q = mC_v\Delta T$

$Q= 0.15 \ mol (\dfrac{5}{2})(8.314 \ J/mole.K )(300-250)K$

$Q= 0.15 \times (\dfrac{5}{2}) \times (8.314 \ J )\times (50)$

$Q=155.8875 \ J$

$\mathbf{Q =160 \ J}$ to two significant figures

Part C. For an extremely hot temperature, $C_v=\dfrac{7}{2}R$

$Q = mC_v\Delta T$

$Q= 0.15 \ mol (\dfrac{7}{2})(8.314 \ J/mole.K )(2300-2250)K$

$Q= 0.15 \times (\dfrac{7}{2}) \times (8.314 \ J )\times (50)$

$Q=218.2425 \ J$

$\mathbf{Q =220 \ J}$ to two significant figures

A 78.5-kg man is standing on a frictionless ice surface when he throws a 2.40-kg book horizontally at a speed of 11.3 m/s. With

kirill [66]

Answer:

The man moves across the ice with a speed of 0.345m/s.

Explanation:

From the conservation of linear momentum, we have that the total linear momentum before the book throw is equal to the total linear momentum just after it. Since the initial velocity of the system is zero (so the initial momentum is zero), we have that:

$m_mv_m+m_bv_b=0\\\\v_m=-\frac{m_b}{m_m} v_b$

Where $m_m$ is the mass of the man, $m_b$ is the mass of the book, and $v_m$ and $v_b$ are their velocities. Plugging in the given values, we can compute the speed of the man (ignoring the negative sign, because we care about the magnitude, not the direction):

$v_m=\frac{2.40kg}{78.5kg}(11.3m/s)=0.345m/s$

In words, the resulting speed of the man is 0.345m/s.

damaskus [11]

Answer:

Same, the electric fields point in opposite directions and therefore cancel at some midpoint.

Explanation:

The Electric field net at some point between them is zero, only if they point in opposite direction (they cancel to the each other). In order the electric fields have opposite direction, at some point between the bees , the bees must have the same sign of electric charge
