Which statement best explains how a planet affects the orbit of a comet as the comet passes by the planet?

1 answer:

8 0

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.

The density of gasoline is 730 kg/m3 at 0°C. Its average coefficient of volume expansion is 9.60 10-4(°C)−1. Assume 1.00 gal of

kipiarov [429]

Answer: 0.4911 kg

Explanation:

We have the following data:

$\rho_{0\°C}= 730 kg/m^{3}$ is the density of gasoline at $0\°C$

$\beta=9.60(10)^{-4} \°C^{-1}$ is the average coefficient of volume expansion

We need to find the extra kilograms of gasoline.

So, firstly we need to transform the volume of gasoline from gallons to $m^{3}$ :

$V=8.50 gal \frac{0.00380 m^{3}}{1 gal}=0.0323 m^{3}$ (1)

Knowing density is given by: $\rho=\frac{m}{V}$ , we can find the mass $m_{1}$ of 8.50 gallons:

$m_{1}=\rho_{0\°C}V$

$m_{1}=(730 kg/m^{3})(0.0323 m^{3})=23.579 kg$ (2)

Now, we have to calculate the factor $f$ by which the volume of gasoline is increased with the temperature, which is given by:

$f=(1+\beta(T_{f}-T_{o}))$ (3)

Where $T_{o}=0\°C$ is the initial temperature and $T_{f}=21.7\°C$ is the final temperature.

$f=(1+9.60(10)^{-4} \°C^{-1}(21.7\°C-0\°C))$ (4)

$f=1.020832$ (5)

With this, we can calculate the density of gasoline at $21.7\°C$ :

$\rho_{21.7\°C}=730 kg/m^{3} f=(730 kg/m^{3})(1.020832)$

$\rho_{21.7\°C}=745.207 kg/m^{3}$ (6)

Now we can calculate the mass of gasoline at this temperature:

$m_{2}=\rho_{21.7\°C}V$ (7)

$m_{2}=(745.207 kg/m^{3})(0.0323 m^{3})$ (8)

$m_{2}=24.070 kg$ (9)

And finally calculate the mass difference $\Delta m$ :

$\Delta m=m_{2}-m_{1}=24.070 kg-23.579 kg$ (10)

$\Delta m=0.4911 kg$ (11) This is the extra mass of gasoline

Guyz... Its my first question in this app... Pls do answer

Basile [38]

Answer:

1.414

Explanation:

Snell's law states:

n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂ sin θ₂

where n is the index of refraction and θ is the angle of incidence (relative to the normal).

The index of refraction of air is approximately 1. So:

1 sin 45° = n sin 30°

n = sin 45° / sin 30°

n = 1.414

Round as needed.

How can you tell there is only one atom of oxygen in H2O?

kow [346]

Answer:

For H2O, there is one atom of oxygen and two atoms of hydrogen. A molecule can be made of only one type of atom. In its stable molecular form, oxygen exists as two atoms and is written O2. to distinguish it from an atom of oxygen O, or ozone, a molecule of three oxygen atoms, O3.

A Ping-Pong ball has a mass of 2.3 g and a terminal speed of 9.4 m/s. The drag force is of the form bv^2 What is the value of b?

julia-pushkina [17]

Drag Force = bv^2 = ma; a = g = 9.81 m/s^2

b = mg/v^2 = (0.0023×9.81)/(9.4^2)

b = 0.000255
