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.

A train whose proper length is 1200 m passes at a high speed through a station whose platform measures 900 m, and the station ma
TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

0.66c

Explanation:

Use length contraction equation:

L = L₀ √(1 − (v²/c²))

where L is the contracted length,

L₀ is the length at 0 velocity,

v is the velocity,

and c is the speed of light.

900 = 1200 √(1 − (v²/c²))

3/4 = √(1 − (v²/c²))

9/16 = 1 − (v²/c²)

v²/c² = 7/16

v = ¼√7 c

v ≈ 0.66 c

A standing wave of the third overtone is induced in a stopped pipe, 2.5 m long. The speed of sound is The frequency of the sound
NemiM [27]

Answer:

f3 = 102 Hz

Explanation:

To find the frequency of the sound produced by the pipe you use the following formula:

f_n=\frac{nv_s}{4L}

n: number of the harmonic = 3

vs: speed of sound = 340 m/s

L: length of the pipe = 2.5 m

You replace the values of n, L and vs in order to calculate the frequency:

f_{3}=\frac{(3)(340m/s)}{4(2.5m)}=102\ Hz

hence, the frequency of the third overtone is 102 Hz

Find the length of a pendulum that oscillates with a frequency of 0.16 hz. the acceleration due to gravity is 9.81 m/s 2 . answe
Vsevolod [243]
The period of the pendulum is the reciprocal of the frequency:
T= \frac{1}{f}= \frac{1}{0.16 Hz}=6.25 s

The period of the pendulum is given by
T=2 \pi  \frac{L}{g}
where L is the length of the pendulum, and g the acceleration of gravity. By re-arranging the formula and using the value of T we found before, we can  calculate the length of the pendulum L:
L=g  \frac{T^2}{(2 \pi)^2}=(9.81 m/s^2)  \frac{(6.25 s)^2}{(2 \pi)^2}=9.71 m

Convert the number from scientific into standard notation: 5.9 x 10-2
guapka [62]
Move the decimal point to:
Left : (if the exponent of ten is a negative number -) ... OUR CASE HERE (-2)
or to
Right : (if the exponent is positive +).

You should move the point as many times as the exponent indicates.
Do not write the power of ten anymore.

So, standard form is:
Two points to the left {Exponent of Ten is Negative (-2)}
0.059 ... (without the 10)
