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 phase difference between two otherwise identical harmonic waves, moving in the same direction along a stretched string, wil

lora16 [44]

Answer:

$\theta=145$

Explanation:

The amplitude of he combined wave is:

$B=2Acos(\theta/2)\\$

A, is the amplitude from the identical harmonic waves

B, is the amplitude of the resultant wave

θ, is the phase, between the waves

The amplitude of the combined wave must be 0.6A:

$0.6A=2Acos(\theta/2)\\ cos(\theta/2)=0.3\\\theta/2=72.5\\\theta=145$

Two loudspeakers are placed next to each other and driven by the same source at 500 Hz. A listener is positioned in front of the

stellarik [79]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to wavelength as the rate of change of the speed of the wave over the frequency. Mathematically this is

$\lambda = \frac{v}{f}$

Here,

v = Wave velocity

f = Frequency,

Replacing with our values we have that,

$\lambda = \frac{340}{500}$

\lambda = 0.68m

The distance to move one speaker is half this

$\lambda/2 = 0.34m$

Therefore the minimum distance will be 0.34m

Determine the linear velocity of an object with an angular velocity of 5.9 radians per second at a distance of 12 centimeters fr

Andre45 [30]

The linear velocity of a rotating object is the product of the angular velocity and the radius of the circular motion. Angular velocity is the rate of the change of angular displacement of a body that is in a circular motion. It is a vector quantity so it consists of a magnitude and direction. From the problem, the angular velocity is 5.9 rad per second and the radius is given as 12 centimeters. We calculate as follows:

Linear velocity = angular velocity (radius)
Linear velocity = 5.9 (12 ) = 70.8 cm / s

The linear velocity of the body in motion is 70.8 centimeters per second or 0.708 meters per second.
