Why do comets only have tails when they are near the sun?.

1 answer:

4 0

When far from the sun, a comet is like a stone rolling around the universe. But when it approaches the sun, the heat evaporates the comet's gases, causing it to emit dust and micro particles, electrons and ions.

Assume the earth to be a nonrotating sphere with mass MEME and radius RERE. If an astronaut weights WW on the ground, what is hi

Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

The weight at a distance 2 RE from surface of earth is W/9

Explanation:

For the value of acceleration due to gravity (g), we have a formula, that is:

g = (G)(ME)/(RE)² ----- equation (1)

where,

G = Gravitational Constant

ME = Mass of Earth

RE = Radius of Earth

g = Acceleration due to gravity on surface of earth = 9.8 ms²

When the person goes 2RE, distance above earth's surface. Then the total distance from center of earth becomes: 2RE + RE = 3RE.

Therefore, equation (1) becomes:

gh = (G)(ME)/(3RE)²

where,

gh = acceleration due to gravity at height

gh = (G)(ME)/(RE)²9

using equation (1), we get:

gh = g/9

Now, he weight is given by formula:

W = mg ------- equation (2)

At height 2RE

Wh = (m)(gh)

where,

Wh = Weight at height = ?

m = mass of astronaut

Therefore, using vale of gh, we get:

Wh = mg/9

Using equation (2), we get:

Wh = W/9

A straight wire of length 0.62 m carries a conventional current of 0.7 amperes. What is the magnitude of the magnetic field made

anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

Magnetic field at point having a distance of 2 cm from wire is 6.99 x 10⁻⁶ T

Explanation:

Magnetic field due to finite straight wire at a point perpendicular to the wire is given by the relation :

$B=\frac{\mu_{0}I }{2\pi R }\times\frac{L}{\sqrt{L^{2}+R^{2} } }$ ......(1)

Here I is current in the wire, L is the length of the wire, R is the distance of the point from the wire and μ₀ is vacuum permeability constant.

In this problem,

Current, I = 0.7 A

Length of wire, L = 0.62 m

Distance of point from wire, R = 2 cm = 2 x 10⁻² m = 0.02 m

Vacuum permeability, μ₀ = 4π x 10⁻⁷ H/m

Substitute these values in equation (1).

$B=\frac{4\pi\times10^{-7}\times 0.7 }{2\pi \times0.02 }\times\frac{0.62}{\sqrt{(0.62)^{2}+(0.02) ^{2} } }$

B = 6.99 x 10⁻⁶ T

skad [1K]

The correct answer for this question is this one: "C. Neither Natalie nor Will." Natalie and Will are discussing socialization. Natalie says that socialization occurs when an animal becomes accustomed to the people in the household. Will says that socialization is easily attained if the animal is first exposed to humans after 12 weeks of age.

What difficulty will you encounter if you only have data from two recording station?

denpristay [2]

If you have only two data from two recording stations then you will be having a hard time finding the correct location of the epicenter. This is because triangulation method requires 3 recording station. If you have 2 recording station, the 2 circles will intersect at 2 points giving you 2 locations that could possibly be the epicenter.

When working with a powered instrument, the swirling effect produced by the water stream within the confined space of a periodon

Lina20 [59]

Answer:

Acoustic microstreaming

Explanation:

Acoustic microstreaming is the swirling effect produced by water stream confined in a spaced of a periodontal pocket.

It is the movement of water in a particular direction as a result of mechanical pressure within the fluid body.
They are often used in dental procedures to remove particulates from the teeth.
It mostly relies on the properties of sound waves to achieve this goal
