Which of the following terms refers to the gas that escapes a comet?

Physics
1 answer:
Gnoma [55]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The correct option is "a plasma tail"

Explanation:

Gases <u>escaping from a comet</u> are ionized by ultraviolent rays from the sun. These ionized gases are then carried away from the sun by the solar wind to form the plasma tail. While the plasma tail is made up of gases, the dust tail is made up of tiny solid particles (dust) that escapes from the comet and are also pushed away from the sun.

What is the frequency of a wave having a period equal to 18 seconds <br>​
Ivanshal [37]

Explanation:

The time taken by a wave crest to travel a distance equal to the length of wave is known as wave period.

The relation between wave period and frequency is as follows.

T = \frac{1}{f}T=

f

1

where, T = time period

f = frequency

It is given that wave period is 18 seconds. Therefore, calculate the wave period as follows.

T = \frac{1}{f}T=

f

1

or, f = \frac{1}{T}f=

T

1

= \frac{1}{18 sec}

18sec

1

= 0.055 per second (1cycle per second = 1 Hertz)

or, f = 5.5 \times 10^{-2} hertz5.5×10 −2 hertz

<h3>Thus, we can conclude that the frequency of the wave is 5.5 \times 10^{-2} hertz5.5×10 −2 hertz .</h3>

What is the main determining factor in defining boundaries between layers of earth's atmosphere?
konstantin123 [22]
The main determining factor in defining boundaries between layers of earth's atmosphere would be temperature changes in these layers. Temperature is one essential property that varies in the atmosphere. Based from this variation, the atmosphere is divided into four major layers and further to three smaller layers -  troposphere, tropopause, the stratosphere,  stratopause, the mesosphere, mesopause, and the thermosphere.The troposphere is the layer that is nearest to the surface of the Earth. It is the part where humans, plants and animals survive. Also, it is the warmest layer of the atmosphere. And as we go higher the atmosphere, the temperature would drop making it much cooler.

In a paragraph, answer these questions:
mixer [17]

the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods from carbon dioxide and water. Photosynthesis in plants generally involves the green pigment chlorophyll and generates oxygen as a byproduct.The inputs of photosynthesis are light energy, and matter in the form of water absorbed through the roots, and carbon dioxide absorbed through the leaves.The main outputs are oxygen, which is released into the air, and glucose sugar (chemical energy), which is used to keep the plant alive.

A projectile is fired at an upward angle of 45.0º from the top of a 265-m cliff with a speed of .sm 185 What will be its speed w
nignag [31]

The final velocity of the projectile when it strikes the ground below is 198.51 m/s.

<h3>Time of motion of the projectile</h3>

The time taken for the projectile to fall to the ground is calculated as follows;

h = vt + ¹/₂gt²

where;

  • h is height of the cliff
  • v is velocity
  • t is time of motion

265 = (185 x sin45)t + (0.5)(9.8)t²

265 = 130.8t + 4.9t²

4.9t² + 130.8t - 265 = 0

solve the quadratic equation using formula method,

t = 1.89 s

<h3>Final velocity of the projectile</h3>

vyf = vyi + gt

where;

  • vyf is the final vertical velocity
  • vyi is initial vertical velocity

vyf = (185 x sin45) + (9.8 x 1.89)

vyf = 149.322 m/s

vxf = vxi

where;

  • vxf is the final horizontal velocity
  • vxi is the initial horizontal velocity

vxf = 185 x cos(45)

vxf = 130.8 m/s

vf = √(vyf² + vxf²)

where;

  • vf is the speed of the projectile when it strikes the ground below

vf = √(149.322²  +  130.8²)

vf = 198.51 m/s
