Answer:

D) Both orbit around the sun

Explanation:

Asteroids are rocky bodies having irregular shape and of irregular size. Asteroids are revolve around the sun in elliptical paths. Most asteroids are found in the asteroid belt between orbits of Mars and Jupiter. Ceres is the largest asteroid. Since, it is round in shape also, so it is a dwarf planet.

Comets are composed of rock, dust, ice and frozen gases. Comets lie in Kuiper belt and Oort cloud. Comets liquefy due to heat. Comets orbit the sun in elliptical paths. Comets in Kuiper belt have smaller periods than comets found in the Oort cloud.

Thus, the similarity between asteroids and comets is both orbit around the sun.

Rays traveling parallel to the principle axis of a concave mirror will reflect out through the mirrors focus?

abruzzese [7]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

When a ray travelling parallel to the principle axis of a concave mirror then the light ray reflect out through the mirrors and passing through the focus.

When a light ray travelling through focus of a concave mirror then after reflection the light ray reflect out through the mirror and go parallel to principle axis.

Therefore, rays travelling parallel to the principle axis of a concave mirror will reflect out through the mirrors focus.

It is true.

A 120 resistor a 60 ohm resistor and a 40 ohm resistor are connected in parallel to a 120 volt power source. what is the current

larisa [96]

Answer:

6 A

Explanation:

First of all, we need to calculate the equivalent resistance of the circuit. The three resistors are connected in parallel, so their equivalent resistance is given by:

$\frac{1}{R_T}=\frac{1}{R_1}+\frac{1}{R_2}+\frac{1}{R_3}=\frac{1}{120 \Omega}+\frac{1}{60 \Omega}+\frac{1}{40 \Omega}=\frac{3+2+1}{120 \Omega}=\frac{6}{120 \Omega}\\R_T = \frac{120}{6} \Omega$

And now we can use Ohm's law to find the current in the circuit:

$V=R_T II=\frac{V}{R_T}=\frac{120 V}{\frac{120}{6}\Omega}=6 A$
