A comet is the loose, icy body with a long, narrow orbit.
Comets are very small solar system body made mainly of ices mixed with smaller amounts of dust and rock. Most comets are not larger than a few kilometers across. The main body of the comet is called the nucleus, and it can contain water, methane, nitrogen and other ices. Their speeds vary depending on their orbits and where they are in it. The closer they are to the sun, the faster they are going.
The kinetic energy as measured in the Earth reference frame is 6.704*10^22 Joules.
To find the answer, we have to know about the Lorentz transformation.
<h3>What is its kinetic energy as measured in the Earth reference frame?</h3>
It is given that, an alien spaceship traveling at 0.600 c toward the Earth, in the same direction the landing craft travels with a speed of 0.800 c relative to the mother ship. We have to find the kinetic energy as measured in the Earth reference frame, if the landing craft has a mass of 4.00 × 10⁵ kg.

- Let us consider the earth as S frame and space craft as S' frame, then the expression for KE will be,

- So, to
find the KE, we have to find the value of speed of the approaching landing craft with respect to the earth frame. - We have an expression from Lorents transformation for relativistic law of addition of velocities as,

- Substituting values, we get,


Thus, we can conclude that, the kinetic energy as measured in the Earth reference frame is 6.704*10^22 Joules.

<span>Here I think you have to find the velocity in x and y components where x is east and y is north
So as air speed indicator shows the negative speed in y component and adding it in
air speed while multiplying with the direction component we will get the velocity as velocity is a vector quantity so direction is also required
v=-28 m/s y + 18 m/s (- x/sqrt(2) - y/sqrt(2))
solving
v= -12.7 m/s x-40.7 m/s y
if magnitude of velocity or speed is required then
speed= sqrt(12.7^2 + 40.7^2)
speed= 42.63 m/s
if angle is asked
angle = arctan (40.7/12.7)
angle = 72.67 degrees south of west</span>
I think the answer is b. easy to digest.
C. and D. are chemical properties,
