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

An electron of mass 9.11 1031 kg has an initial speed of 3.00 105 m/s. It travels in a straight line, and its speed increases to

elena55 [62]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of an electron, $m=9.11\times 10^{-31}\ kg$

Initial speed of the electron, $u=3\times 10^5\ m/s$

Final speed of the electron, $v=7\times 10^5\ m/s$

Distance, d = 5 cm = 0.05 m

(a) The acceleration of the electron is calculated using the third equation of motion as :

$a=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2d}$

$a=\dfrac{(7\times 10^5)^2-(3\times 10^5)^2}{2\times 0.05}$

$a=4\times 10^{12}\ m/s^2$

Force exerted on the electron is given by :

$F=m\times a$

$F=9.11\times 10^{-31}\times 4\times 10^{12}$

$F=3.64\times 10^{-18}\ N$

(b) Let W is the weight of the electron. It can be calculated as :

$W=mg$

$W=9.11\times 10^{-31}\times 9.8$

$W=8.92\times 10^{-30}\ N$

Comparison,

$\dfrac{F}{W}=\dfrac{3.64\times 10^{-18}}{8.92\times 10^{-30}}$

$\dfrac{F}{W}=4.08\times 10^{11}$

Hence, this is the required solution.

f a single circular loop of wire carries a current of 45 A and produces a magnetic field at its center with a magnitude of 1.50

Lelu [443]

Answer:

Radius of the loop is 0.18 m or 18 cm

Explanation:

Given :

Current flowing through the wire, I = 45 A

Magnetic field at the center of the wire, B = 1.50 x 10⁻⁴ T

Number of turns in circular wire, N = 1

Consider R be the radius of the circular wire.

The magnetic field at the center of the current carrying circular wire is determine by the relation:

$B=\frac{N\mu_{0} I}{2R}$

Here μ₀ is vacuum permeability constant and its value is 4π x 10⁻⁷ Tm/A.

Substitute the suitable values in the above equation.

$1.50\times10^{-4} =\frac{4\pi \times10^{-7}\times45 }{2R}$

R = 0.18 m

Consider f(x) = -4x2 + 24x + 3. Determine whether the function has a maximum or minimum value. Then find the

murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

The function has a maximum in $x=3$

The maximum is:

$f(3) = 39$

Explanation:

Find the first derivative of the function for the inflection point, then equal to zero and solve for x

$f(x)' = -4*2x + 24=0$

$-4*2x + 24=0$

$8x=24$

$x=3$

Now find the second derivative of the function and evaluate at x = 3.

If $f (3) ''< 0$ the function has a maximum

If $f (3) '' >0$ the function has a minimum

$f(x)''= 8$

Note that:

$f(3)''= -8$

the function has a maximum in $x=3$

The maximum is:

$f(3)=-4(3)^2+24(3) + 3\\\\f(3) = 39$
