When the comet passes close to the sun, it has a visible tail. Typically, the comet is only visible for a matter of days while i

t may be invisible for years. Why does the comet spend so little time close to the sun?

Nataly [62]3 years ago

Answer:

The comet is locked in the Sun's gravity. as it falls deeper in the gravity we'll, its velocity increases. As is travels closer to the Sun, it is trying to break away, but cannot. This transforms into a sideways movement that produces a tight turn. It races further out of the gravity well, and sheds velocity.

A uniform ladder 5.0 m long rests against a frictionless, vertical wall with its lower end 3.0 m from the wall. The ladder weigh
dem82 [27]

Answer:

Explanation:

a )

Reaction force of the ground

R = mg

= 160 N

Maximum friction force possible

= μ x R

= μ x 160

= .4 x 160

= 64 N .

b )

 160 N will act at middle point . 740N will act at distance of 3 / 5 m from the wall ,

Taking moment about top point of ladder

160 x 1.5 + 740 x 3/5 + f x 4 = 900 x 3

240 + 444 + 4f = 2700

f = 504 N

c )

Let x be the required distance.  

Taking moment about top point of ladder

160 x 1.5 + 740 x 3 x / 5 + .4 x 900 x 4  = 900 x 3  ( .4 x 900 is the maximum friction possible )

240 + 444 x + 1440  = 2700

x = 2.3  m

so man can go upto 2.3 at which maximum friction acts .

A bag of marbles is hanging motionless on a spring scale. What prevents the bag from falling?​
Tanya [424]

Answer:

The vector sum of all forces acting on it is zero, its at equilibrium.

Explanation:

The bag of marbles hanging on a spring scale applies its weight downwards, which was counterbalanced by the reaction from the spring scale (obeying the Newton's third law of motion). And since no external forces are applied to the system, thus the equilibrium of the system.

If the weight of the bag is greater than the reaction from the spring scale, the scale breaks and the system would not be balanced.

olasank [31]

Engineers have designed experimental cars that use liquid hydrogen for fuel instead of gasoline. this is an example of Substitution.


Substitution is the process where one thing replaces other for a particular purpose. here liquid hydrogen is replacing the gasoline for fuel in car. hence the correct word to fill is Substitution.
