<h2>Right answer: Comets have very elliptical orbits that usually take them far beyond the orbit of Pluto, but also take them closer to the Sun than Earth</h2>
Comets are celestial bodies constituted by ice, dust and rocks that orbit around the Sun, after having been altered by the Oort cloud; following different trajectories that can be <u>highly eccentric elliptical</u><u> </u>(periodic trajectories), parabolic or hyperbolic.
One of the main characteristics of a comet is that it travels quite fast, on its way around the Sun and has a long tail. It should be noted that the tails of comets always go in the opposite direction to the Sun (due to the radiation pressure of sunlight).
Therefore, the correct option is C.
Answer:
algae
Explanation:
The Atlantic off the East Coast of the United States usually appears green. This is due to the presence of algae and plant life.
<span>It is important to use the Système Internationale (SI) units to describe motion, and other scientific concepts, firstly because the units are the most widely used. Unit choice is largely arbitrary, however, because many scientific units are derived from the base SI units, for example, the Newton is kg m s-2. Thus, secondly, more complex units are based on the bedrock of the SI units.</span>
Answer:
Explanation:
a ) from San Antonio to Houston let distance be d km .
Average speed = total distance / total time
time = distance / speed
Total time = (d / 2 x 75 ) +( d / 2 x 106 )
= .0067 d + .0047 d
= .0114 d
Average speed = d / .0114 d = 87.72 km /h
b ) from Houston back to San Antonio
Total time = (d / 2 x 106 ) +( d / 2 x 75 )
= .0047 d + .0067 d
= .0114 d
Average speed = d / .0114 d = 87.72 km /h
c )
For entire trip :
total distance = 2d
total time = 2 x .0114 d
Average speed = 2 d / 2 x .0114 d
= 87.72 km /h .
