Comets orbit the sun just like planets do. Except a comet usually has a very elongated orbit. Thanks to the laws of gravity comets obey the same laws. A comets orbit takes it very close to the sun and then far away again.

A mercury thermometer is used to measure the temperature of boiling water.<br>Why?​
Rama09 [41]

Answer:

It has very high density, so a small bulb of a thermometer can contain much mercury. Mercury remains liquid state over a quite wide range of temperature because it freezes at 39°C and boils at 357°C.

A disk rotates around an axis through its center that is perpendicular to the plane of the disk. The disk has a line drawn on it
natka813 [3]

Answer:

t = \frac{\sqrt{\omega0^2+2*\theta*\alpha} -\omega0}{\alpha}

Explanation:

The rotated angle is given by:

\theta=\omega0*t+1/2*\alpha*t^2

Since this is a quadratic equation it can be solved using:

x=\frac{-b \± \sqrt{b^2-4*a*c}  }{2*a}

Rewriting our equation:

1/2*\alpha*t^2+\omega0*t-\theta=0

t = \frac{\±\sqrt{\omega0^2+2*\theta*\alpha} -\omega0}{\alpha}

Since \sqrt{\omega0^2+2*\theta*\alpha} >\omega0 we discard the negative solution.

t = \frac{\sqrt{\omega0^2+2*\theta*\alpha} -\omega0}{\alpha}
