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.

lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:5 Neither: both negative and positive charge are present simultaneously in all solid materials on Earth

Explanation:

When we rub a glass rod with silk cloth then some of the electrons from glass rods are stripped away to the silk cloth. These electrons are loosely bound to the silk rod that is why they easily transferred to silk cloth.  

There is no net charge because the charge is induced when we rub the cloth and charge are separated therefore we able to notice these charges.

Consider a double-slit with a distance between the slits of 0.04 mm and slit width of 0.01 mm. Suppose the screen is a distance
scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

The distance between the places where the intensity is zero due to the double slit effect is 15 mm.

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance between the slits = 0.04 mm

Width = 0.01 mm

Distance between the slits and screen = 1 m

Wavelength = 600 nm

We need to calculate the distance between the places where the intensity is zero due to the double slit effect

For constructive fringe

First minima from center

x_{1}=\dfrac{\lambda D}{2d}

Second minima from center

x_{2}=\dfrac{3\lambda D}{2d}

The distance between the places where the intensity is zero due to the double slit effect

\Delta x_{d}=x_{2}-x_{1}

\Delta x_{d}=\dfrac{3\lambda D}{2d}-\dfrac{\lambda D}{2d}

\Delta x_{d}=\dfrac{\lambda D}{d}

Put the value into the formula

\Delta x_{d}=\dfrac{600\times10^{-9}\times1}{0.04\times10^{-3}}

\Delta x_{d}=0.015 =15\times10^{-3}\ m

\Delta x_{d}=15\ mm

Hence, The distance between the places where the intensity is zero due to the double slit effect is 15 mm.

If you found yourself on the see-through side of this one-way mirror what is the best way you could prevent someone on the other
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

If there is any sheets or padded material in this room you can cover the window, you could turn off all the lights if there is a light switch in the room,   you could try to bring a bright flashlight in and shine it into the other room(try to annoy the person watching you so they leave), act really boring and hopefully make the other person lose interest.

Explanation:

(hint) If you actually get in a situation like this place your fingernail against the mirror or glass you think could possibly be a one-way mirror. If there's a gap between your nail and the mirror, it's most likely a genuine mirror :)

In the ENGR 10 lab (E391), there are 50 long light bulbs (P=100 W) and 30 regular bulbs (P=60 W). How much energy is consumed li
Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

Total energy saving will be 0.8 KWH

Explanation:

We have given there are 50 long light bulbs of power 100 W so total power of 50 bulb = 100×50 = 5000 W = 5 KW

30 bulbs are of power 60 W

So total power of 30 bulbs = 30×60 = 1800 W = 1.8 KW

Total power of 80 bulbs = 1.8+5 = 6.8 KW

Total time = 3 hour

We know that energy E=power\times time=6.8\times 3=20.4KWH

Now power of each CFL bulb = 25 W

So power of 80 bulbs = 80×25 = 2000 W = 2 KW

Energy of 80 bulbs = 2×3 = 6 KWH

So total energy saving = 6.8-6 = 0.8 KWH
