We can confirm that the difference between a comet and an asteroid lies in their compositions and physical characteristics <u>derived from those compositions</u>.

As stated in the question, the main difference between an asteroid and a comet is their compositions, meaning the materials from which they form.

Asteroids are rocky objects which a heavy metal composition, while comets tend to be made of dust, ice, and <em><u>some </u></em>rocky material. Some extra differences include:

  • Comets reflect a steady amount of light (because of their ice composition)
  • Asteroids will <em><u>reflect light at random intervals due to some metals that may be present on their surface</u></em>
  • Comets tend to have a tail made of water from the melting ice when reflecting sunlight.

Therefore, we can confirm that the main difference between asteroids and comets is their compositions, which lead to distinct physical characteristics.

Answer:

45000 kg and 45 tons  

Explanation:

The expression in kilograms and tons is shown below;

As we know that

1 gr is 0.001 kg

So, 45000000 = 45,000 kg

And,

1 kg = 0.001 tons  

So, 45000 kg = 45 tons    

Therefore the same would be considered

The spring is unstretched at the position x = 0. under the action of a force p, the cart moves from the initial position x1 = -8

</span>
Solution:
(a) The work done by the spring is given by
W= \frac{1}{2} k (\Delta x)^2 &#10;
where k is the elastic constant of the spring and \Delta x is the stretch between the initial and final position. Since x1=-8 in=-0.203 m and x2=5 in=0.127 m, we have
W= \frac{1}{2} \cdot 500 N/m \cdot (0.127m-(-0.203m))^2=27.25 J

(b) The work done by the weight is the product of the component of the weight parallel to the inclined plane and the displacement of the cart:
W_W = -F_{//} (x_2 -x_1)
where  the negative sign is given by the fact that F_{//} points in the opposite direction of the displacement of the cart, and where
F_{//}=m g sin 15^{\circ}=6 kg \cdot 9.81m/s^2 \cdot sin 15^{\circ}=15.2 N
therefore, the work done by the weight is
W_W=-15.2 N \cdot (0.203m-(-0.127m))=-5.02 J
