Comets are like "dirty snowballs"; frozen gasses with dust and rocks in them. Each pass near the Sun causes the comet's nucleus to be exposed to intense sunlight, which causes some tiny fraction of the gas to evaporate and carry some of the dust and rock away into space. The gas and dust, near the Sun, cause the comet's "tail", and repeated passes cause dust and rock to spread out along most of the orbit of a comet. When the Earth enters one of these trails of old comet dust, we have meteor showers.
<span>On rare occasions, comets break apart or even more rarely, crash into planets. In 1994, the comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 broke apart and then collided with the planet Jupiter.</span>
Answer:
The normal force the seat exerted on the driver is 125 N.
Explanation:
Given;
mass of the car, m = 2000 kg
speed of the car, u = 100 km/h = 27.78 m/s
radius of curvature of the hill, r = 100 m
mass of the driver, = 60 kg
The centripetal force of the driver at top of the hill is given as;
where;
Fc is the centripetal force
is downward force due to weight of the driver
is upward or normal force on the drive
Therefore, the normal force the seat exerted on the driver is 125 N.
Answer:
Explanation:
The formula for Kinetic Energy is
. Filling in:
It looks like we only need 1 significant digit here but I'll give you 2 and you can round how you want.
KE = 2.4 × 10⁵ J
Answer:
Fossil Combustion Reactions
Explanation:
It's more efficient (I'll edit later)
Electromagnetic radiation is an energy that is known as light. so electromagnetic radiation will have the same speed as the speed of light which is 3 x 10^8 m/s. so the distance it travel at 55 x 10^-6 s is:
D = ( 3 x 10^8 m/s ) ( 55 x 10^-6 s )
D = 16500 m
