Choice 1
The Sun's radiation and solar wind cause the dust and gas around the comet (coma) to stretch the coma. The solar wind electromagnetically blows the ions in the coma away.
In a displacement versus time graph, the slope of the line at any point on the graph indicates the <em>magnitude of velocity</em>.
(It can't indicate velocity completely, because the graph shows nothing about the direction of the motion.)
Answer:
Explanation:
We can solve the problem by using Kepler's third law, which states that the ratio between the cube of the orbital radius and the square of the orbital period is constant for every object orbiting the Sun. So we can write
where
is the distance of the new object from the sun (orbital radius)
is the orbital period of the object
is the orbital radius of the Earth
is the orbital period the Earth
Solving the equation for , we find
![r_o = \sqrt[3]{\frac{r_e^3}{T_e^2}T_o^2} =\sqrt[3]{\frac{(1.50\cdot 10^{11}m)^3}{(365 d)^2}(180 d)^2}=9.4\cdot 10^{10} m](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=r_o%20%3D%20%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7B%5Cfrac%7Br_e%5E3%7D%7BT_e%5E2%7DT_o%5E2%7D%20%3D%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7B%5Cfrac%7B%281.50%5Ccdot%2010%5E%7B11%7Dm%29%5E3%7D%7B%28365%20d%29%5E2%7D%28180%20d%29%5E2%7D%3D9.4%5Ccdot%2010%5E%7B10%7D%20m)
