Answer:

the Kuiper Belt, and the Oort Cloud

Explanation:

Comets spend most of their lives far away from the sun in the distant reaches of the solar system. They primarily originate from two regions. The Kuiper Belt, and the Oort Cloud

Process of Science Task: Earth-Centered vs. Sun-Centered Models.

Gnoma [55]

Answer:

There are a number of models as explained below.

Explanation:

Depending on the position of the earth in the orbit, stars will be in different positions relative to the distant stars.

This model can be explained by the parallax effect. An object is viewed differently by the left and the right eye.

Reference can be made to the geocentric and heliocentric arguments. The first view argues that heavens are composed of 55 concentric spheres.

On the other hand, the heliocentric system, proposed by Copernicus, suggested that the Sun, not the earth, was the center of the solar system.

Given two metal balls (that are identical) with charges LaTeX: q_1q 1and LaTeX: q_2q 2. We find a repulsive force one exerts on

Romashka [77]

Answer:

$q_1=\pm0.03 \mu C$ and $q_2=\pm0.02 \mu C.$

Explanation:

According to Coulomb's law, the magnitude of force between two point object having change $q_1$ and $q_2$ and by a dicstanced is

$F_c=\frac{1}{4\pi\spsilon_0}\frac{q_1q_2}{d^2}-\;\cdots(i)$

Where, $\epsilon_0$ is the permitivity of free space and

$\frac{1}{4\pi\spsilon_0}=9\times10^9$ in SI unit.

Before dcollision:

Charges on both the sphere are $q_1$ and $q_2$ , d=20cm=0.2m, and $F_c=1.35\times10^{-4}$ N

So, from equation (i)

$1.35\times10^{-4}=9\times10^9\frac{q_1q_2}{(0.2)^2}$

$\Rightarrow q_1q_2=6\times10^{-16}\;\cdots(ii)$

After dcollision: Each ephere have same charge, as at the time of collision there was contach and due to this charge get redistributed which made the charge density equal for both the sphere t. So, both have equal amount of charhe as both are identical.

Charges on both the sphere are mean of total charge, i.e

$\frac{q_1+q_2}{2}$

d=20cm=0.2m, and $F_c=1.406\times10^{-4}$ N

So, from equation (i)

$1.406\times10^{-4}=9\times10^9\frac{\left(\frac{q_1+q_2}{2}\right)^2}{(0.2)^2}$

$\Rightarrow (q_1+q_2)^2=2.50\times10^{-15}$

$\Rightarrow q_1+q_2=\pm5\times 10^{-8}$

As given that the force is repulsive, so both the sphere have the same nature of charge, either positive or negative, so, here take the magnitude of the charge.

$\Rightarrow q_1+q_2=5\times 10^{-8}\;\cdots(iii)$

$\Rightarrow q_1=5\times 10^{-8}-q_2$

The equation (ii) become:

$(5\times 10^{-8}-q_2)q_2=6\times10^{-16}$

$\Rightarrow -(q_2)^2+5\times 10^{-8}q_2-6\times10^{-16}=0$

$\Rightarrow q_2=3\times10^{-8}, 2\times10^{-8}$

From equation (iii)

$q_1=2\times10^{-8}, 3\times10^{-8}$

So, the magnitude of initial charges on both the sphere are $3\times10^{-8}$ Coulombs $=0.03 \mu C$ and $2\times10^{-8}$ Colombs or $0.02 \mu C$ .

Considerion the nature of charges too,

$q_1=\pm0.03 \mu C$ and $q_2=\pm0.02 \mu C.$

Which types of questions can most likely be answered through a scientific investigation?

Sindrei [870]

Subjective questions can be answered most likely through well-designed scientific investigations. Investigating peoples opinions or favorites does not involve any scientific investigations.

<h3>What are scientific investigation?</h3>

Scientific investigations include study on different natural phenomenon through well designed research methodologies. They include a preliminary hypothesis based on observations and various scientific records helps for reference.

Through well designed scientific experiments we can solve subjective questions and can be helpful in solving different environmental or social issues.

Peoples opinion or objective types questions are not targeted at scientific investigation, hence, option b is correct.

A student carries a backpack for one mile. Another student carries the same backpack for two miles

Svetllana [295]

Answer:

Compared to the first student, the second student did twice as much work as the first student.

Explanation:

The work done by the first student will be equal to the Force exerted by the backpack on the student carrying it multiplied by one mile (Distance). The work done by the second student will be equal to the Force exerted by the backpack on the student carrying it multiplied by two miles (Distance).
