Answer:

Comet Tail

Explanation:

A comet tail— and coma — are characteristics that are evident in comets when the Sun illuminates them and can become apparent from Earth when a comet travels through the inner part of the Solar System.

While a comet enters the inner part of solar system, sunlight causes the toxic materials inside the comet to vaporize and float out of the center, sweeping away particles with them.

Two, distinct tails are created from dust and gases, being visible by different occurrences; the dust simply reflects sunlight, and the gasses shine through ionization.

Answer:

ionic Coma tail

Explanation:

The Coma of the comet points most directly away from the sun. Coma is the tail formed by the vapor of the ice mass of the comet when comet approaches close to the sun while revolving around it.

This vapor gets ionized on getting closer to the sun and form a halo like structure around the comet other than the vapor tail.

These tails always point away from the Sun as the comet travels around it under the influence of the solar winds.

The vapor and dust tail is least affected by the solar flare since they are larger than the ions of hydrogen.

Answer:

B_o = 1.013μT

Explanation:

To find B_o you take into account the formula for the emf:

$\epsilon=-\frac{d\Phi_b}{dt}=-\frac{dBAcos\theta}{dt}=-Acos\theta\frac{dB}{dt}$

where you used that A (area of the loop) is constant, an also the angle between the direction of B and the normal to A.

By applying the derivative you obtain:

$\epsilon=-Acos\theta (2\pi f) B_ocos(2\pi f t+ \alpha)$

when the emf is maximum the angle between B and the normal to A is zero, that is, cosθ = 1 or -1. Furthermore the cos function is 1 or -1. Hence:

$\epsilon=2\pi fAB_o=2\pi (100*10^3Hz)(\pi (0.1m)^2)B_o=19739.20Hzm^2B_o\\\\B_o=\frac{20*10^{-3}V}{19739.20Hzm^2}=1.013*10^{-6}T=1.013\mu T$

hence, B_o = 1.013μT

Jack tries to place magnets on his refrigerator at home, but they won’t stick. What could be the reason?

saul85 [17]

The most probable reason why the magnets won't stick on the refrigerator is that the body of the refrigerator and the magnets have like poles. If both have negative or both have positive poles facing each other, they will repel. In principle, magnets are attracted to opposite poles and like poles repel.
