Answer: a comet

Explanation:  

A comet is composed of rock, ice dust and frozen gases. Comets generally reside in the outskirts of the solar system i.e. Kuiper belt and Oort cloud.

When comets enter the solar system, the frozen gases sublimate and form the atmosphere of the comet. It is known as coma. As the comet nears the Sun, the coma expands as more frozen gases sublimate and extends backwards due to solar wind. A huge tail composed of gases and dust is formed and can be observed through telescope from Earth. This must be observed by Mischka.

A comet is long and also bright, which has a blue-ish color to it.

A 248-g piece of copper is dropped into 390 mL of water at 22.6 °C. The final temperature of the water was measured as 39.9 °C.
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

335°C

Explanation:

Heat gained or lost is:

q = m C ΔT

where m is the mass, C is the specific heat capacity, and ΔT is the change in temperature.

Heat gained by the water = heat lost by the copper

mw Cw ΔTw = mc Cc ΔTc

The water and copper reach the same final temperature, so:

mw Cw (T - Tw) = mc Cc (Tc - T)

Given:

mw = 390 g

Cw = 4.186 J/g/°C

Tw = 22.6°C

mc = 248 g

Cc = 0.386 J/g/°C

T = 39.9°C

Find: Tc

(390) (4.186) (39.9 - 22.6) = (248) (0.386) (Tc - 39.9)

Tc = 335

A standing wave of the third overtone is induced in a stopped pipe, 2.5 m long. The speed of sound is The frequency of the sound
NemiM [27]

Answer:

f3 = 102 Hz

Explanation:

To find the frequency of the sound produced by the pipe you use the following formula:

f_n=\frac{nv_s}{4L}

n: number of the harmonic = 3

vs: speed of sound = 340 m/s

L: length of the pipe = 2.5 m

You replace the values of n, L and vs in order to calculate the frequency:

f_{3}=\frac{(3)(340m/s)}{4(2.5m)}=102\ Hz

hence, the frequency of the third overtone is 102 Hz

Based on the emf value measured at frame 700, what is the average magnitude of the magnetic field inside the magnet assembly? No
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

The average magnitude of magnetic field B= 0.0433/ d Tesla

(You have not provided length of side of loop, so if you divide this value by length you will get value of magnetic field.)

Explanation:

Induced emf

where B= magnetic field  

d= breadth of rectangular piece

V= velocity with which the rectangular piece = o.o6m/s

n= no of turns  = 10

EMF = 26mV

since d (breadth of the frame) is not given, I will use it as a variable

EMF= n×B×d×V ------------------(1) (EMF induced due to multiple turns)

From eq 1, we get

B= (EMF)/(n d V)

B= (26 X 0.001) / (10 d 0.06)

B= 0.0433/ d Tesla

A 900 kg steel beam is supported by the two ropes shown in (Figure 1) . Calculate the tension in the rope.
Rzqust [24]
Let T1 and T2 be tension in ropes1 and 2 respectively. 
<span>since system is stationary (equilibrium), considering both ropes + beam as a system </span>

<span>for horizontal equilibrium (no movement in that direction, so resultant force must be zero horizontally) </span>
<span>T1sin(20) = T2sin(30) </span>
<span>=> T1 = T2sin(30) / sin(20) </span>

<span>for vertical equilibrium, (no movement in this direction, so resultant force must be zero vertically) </span>
<span>T1cos(20) + T2cos(30) = mg </span>

<span>m = 900kg, substituting for T1 </span>
<span>T2sin(30)*cos(20)/sin(20) + T2cos(30) = 900g </span>
<span>2.328*T2 = 900*9.8 </span>
<span>T2 = 3788.65N </span>
<span>so T1 from (1) </span>
<span>T1 = 5535.21N</span>
