Comets are frozen leftovers from the formation of the solar system composed of dust, rock, and ice. Sun is a nearly perfect ball of hot plasma, heated to incandescence in its center by nuclear fusion reactions. Comets can be compared to the sun on the basis of size, composition, and position in the solar system.

<h3>What is the sun?</h3>

The Sun is the central star of our Solar System. It's a nearly perfect ball of hot plasma, heated to incandescence in its center by nuclear fusion reactions.

Sun emits energy mostly as visible light, ultraviolet light, and infrared radiation. It is the most vital source of energy for life on Earth.

<h3>What are comets?</h3>

A comet is a tiny entity circling the Sun that contains a significant amount of volatile ices, which includes entrained dust particles.

The comet forms two tails, one of ionized molecules and radicals and the other of dust, as dust and gas in the coma flow freely into space.

Comets are frozen remnants of the solar system's origin, made of dust, rock, and ice.

They range in size from a few miles to tens of miles across, but as they get closer to the Sun, they heat up and spew gases and dust into a flaming head the size of a jet.

Hence comets can be compared to the sun on the basis of size, composition, and position in the solar system.

Using examples, explain why the first and second Newton laws of motion are significant for living organisms.
Triss [41]

Answer:

1) Newton's first law of motion states an object will remain at rest or in uniform will be in uniform motion in a straight line unless a force acts on it

2) Newton's second law states the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the applied force acting on an object and inversely proportional to the mass of the object

Explanation:

1) With Newton's first law, we are able arrange things within a space and schedule meetings in time knowing that they will remain in place unless an external force changes their positions

2) An example of Newton's second law of motion is that small objects such as a ball are easily accelerated and can be given appreciable acceleration for flight by single, one time contact (such as kicking the ball) while larger objects such as a rock require sustained force application to change their location.

Which has more momentum, a speeding baseball or an ocean liner at rest in a harbor?
uranmaximum [27]
Momentum is (mass) times (speed), so nothing that is at rest has any momentum. If the battleship is at rest, then a mosquito in flight, a leaf falling from a tree, and your speedy baseball each have more momentum than the ship has.
