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

a body weights 28N at a height of 3200km from the earth surface.What will be the gravitational force on that body if its lies on

alekssr [168]

Answer:

The object would weight 63 N on the Earth surface

Explanation:

We can use the general expression for the gravitational force between two objects to solve this problem, considering that in both cases, the mass of the Earth is the same. Notice as well that we know the gravitational force (weight) of the object at 3200 km from the Earth surface, which is (3200 + 6400 = 9600 km) from the center of the Earth:

$F_G=G\,\frac{M_E\,m}{d^2} \\28\,\,N=G\,\frac{M_E\,m}{9600000^2}$

Now, if the body is on the surface of the Earth, its weight (w) would be:

$F_G=G\,\frac{M_E\,m}{d^2} \\w=G\,\frac{M_E\,m}{6400000^2}$

Now we can divide term by term the two equations above, to cancel out common factors and end up with a simple proportion:

$\frac{w}{28} =\frac{9600000^2}{6400000^2} \\\frac{w}{28} =\frac{9}{4} \\\\ \\w=\frac{9\,*\,28}{4}\,\,\,N\\w=63\,\,N \\$

A 26-cm-long wire with a linear density of 20 g/m passes across the open end of an 86-cm-long open-closed tube of air. If the wi

damaskus [11]

Answer: T = 472.71 N

Explanation: The wire vibrates thus making sound waves in the tube.

The frequency of sound wave on the string equals frequency of sound wave in the tube.

L= Length of wire = 26cm = 0.26m

u=linear density of wire = 20g/m = 0.02kg/m

Length of open close tube = 86cm = 0.86m

Sound waves in the tube are generated at the second vibrational mode, hence the relationship between the length of air and and wavelength is given as

L = 3λ/4

0.86 = 3λ/4

3λ = 4 * 0.86

3λ = 3.44

λ = 3.44/3 = 1.15m.

Speed of sound in the tube = 340 m/s

Hence to get frequency of sound, we use the formulae below.

v = fλ

340 = f * 1.15

f = 340/ 1.15

f = 295.65Hz.

f = 295.65 = frequency of sound wave in pipe = frequency of sound wave in string.

The string vibrated at it fundamental frequency hence the relationship the length of string and wavelength is given as

L = λ/2

0.26 = λ/2

λ = 0.52m

The speed of sound in string is given as v = fλ

Where λ = 0.52m f = 295.65 Hz

v = 295.65 * 0.52

v = 153.738 m/s.

The velocity of sound in the string is related to tension, linear density and tension is given below as

v = √(T/u)

153.738 = √T/ 0.02

By squaring both sides

153.738² = T / 0.02

T = 153.738² * 0.02

T = 23,635.372 * 0.02

T= 472.71 N
