Which of the following statements about comets is true? A. Comets rarely fall into an orbit around the Sun. They usually enter t

he inner solar system only once and then are gone forever. B. Most comets have a circular orbit that keeps them in the space between Mars and Jupiter. C. 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. D. Comets have very elliptical orbits that usually take them closer to the Sun than Earth, but rarely do they get further away than Pluto.

<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.

Since bulb is connected in the closed circuit at the position of D

as well as switch B is also closed in that position so the current will flow through the bulb and bulb will glow in that position

So the most appropriate correct option will be

Answer:

(a) -472.305  J

(b) 1 m

Explanation:

(a)

Change in mechanical energy equals change in kinetic energy

Kinetic energy is given by0.5mv^{2}

Initial kinetic energy is 0.5\times 69\times 3.7^{2}=472.305 J

Since he finally comes to rest, final kinetic energy is zero because the final velocity is zero

Change in kinetic energy is given by final kinetic energy- initial kinetic energy hence

0-472.305  J=-472.305  J

(b)

From fundamental kinematic equation

v^{2}=u^{2}+2as

Where v and u are final and initial velocities respectively, a is acceleration, s is distance

Making s the subject we obtain

s=\frac {v^{2}-u^{2}}{-2a} but a=\mu g hence

s=\frac {v^{2}-u^{2}}{-2\mu g}=\frac {0^{2}-3.7^{2}}{-2*0.7*9.81}=0.996796272\approx 1 m
