Answer:

The correct option is "a plasma tail"

Explanation:

Gases escaping from a comet 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.

Which four equations can be used to solve for acceleration

emmainna [20.7K]

The four equations for acceleration are obtained from the three equations of motion and from second law of motion.

Explanation:

Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity with respect to time. So the change in velocity with respect to time can be determined using the three equations of motions.

So from the first equation of motion, v = u + at , we can determine the value of acceleration if time taken, final and initial velocity is known. The equation can be re-written as $a = \frac{v-u}{t}$

Similarly, from the second equation of motion, s = ut + 1/2 at², we can determine the equation for acceleration as $a = 2*\frac{s-ut}{t^{2} }$

So this is second equation for acceleration.

Then from the third equation of motion, $v^{2}- u^{2} = 2* a *s$

the acceleration equation is determined as $a = \frac{v^{2}-u^{2} }{2s}$

In addition to these three equation, another equation is present to determine the acceleration with respect to force from the Newton's second law of motion. F = Mass × acceleration. From this, acceleration = Force/mass.

So, these are the four equations for acceleration.

In which electric circuit would the voltmeter read 10 volts ?

ki77a [65]

Given that,

Voltage = 10 volt

Suppose, The three resistance is connected in parallel and each resistance is 12 Ω. find the current in the electric circuit.

We need to calculate the equivalent resistance

Using formula of parallel

$\dfrac{1}{R}=\dfrac{1}{R_{1}}+\dfrac{1}{R_{2}}+\dfrac{1}{R_{3}}$

Put the value into the formula

$\dfrac{1}{R}=\dfrac{1}{12}+\dfrac{1}{12}+\dfrac{1}{12}$

$\dfrac{1}{R}=\dfrac{1}{4}$

$R=4\ \Omega$

We need to calculate the current in the circuit

Using ohm's law

$V=IR$

$I=\dfrac{V}{R}$

Where, V = voltage

R = resistance

Put the value into the formula

$I=\dfrac{10}{4}$

$I=2.5\ A$

Hence, The current in the circuit is 2.5 A

Consider a motor that exerts a constant torque of 25.0 nâ‹…m to a horizontal platform whose moment of inertia is 50.0 kgâ‹…m2. A

Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

W = 1884J

Explanation:

This question is incomplete. The original question was:

Consider a motor that exerts a constant torque of 25.0 N.m to a horizontal platform whose moment of inertia is 50.0kg.m^2 . Assume that the platform is initially at rest and the torque is applied for 12.0rotations . Neglect friction.

How much work W does the motor do on the platform during this process? Enter your answer in joules to four significant figures.

The amount of work done by the motor is given by:

$W=\Delta K$
