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.

noname [10]

Answer:

14.7 m/s

Explanation:

a = acceleration experienced by driver's head = 50 g = 50 x 9.8 m/s² = 490 m/s²

v₀ = initial speed of the driver = 0 m/s

v = final speed of the driver after 30 ms

t = time interval for which the acceleration is experienced = 30 ms = 0.030 s

Using the equation

v = v₀ + a t

Inserting the values

v = 0 + (490) (0.030)

v = 14.7 m/s

AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

The magnitudes of the net magnetic fields at points A and B is 2.66 x 10^{-6} T

Explanation:

Given information :

The current of each wires, I = 4.7 A

dH = 0.19 m

dV = 0.41 m

The magnetic of straight-current wire :

B= μ_{0}I/2πr

where

B = magnetic field (T)

μ_{0} = 1.26 x 10^{-6} (N/A^{2})

I = Current (A)

r = radius (m)

the magnetic field at points A and B is the same because both of wires have the same distance. Based on the right-hand rule, the net magnetic field of A and B is canceled each other (or substracted). Thus,

BH = μ_{0}I/2πr

     = (1.26 x 10^{-6})(4.7)/(2π)(0.19)

     = 4.96 x 10^{-6} T

BV = μ_{0}I/2πr

     = (1.26 x  10^{-6})(4.7)/(2π)(0.41)

     = 2.3 x 10^{-6} T

hence,

the net magnetic field = BH - BV

                                     = 4.96 x 10^{-6} - 2.3 x 10^{-6}

                                     = 2.66 x 10^{-6} T

Otrada [13]

Answer:

E = 1.25×10¹³ N/m²

Explanation:

Young's modulus is defined as:

E = stress / strain

E = (F / A) / (dL / L)

E = (F L) / (A dL)

Given:

F = 10 kg × 9.8 m/s² = 98 N

L = 1 m

dL = 10⁻⁵ m

A = π/4 (0.001 m)² = 7.85×10⁻⁷ m²

Solve:

E = (98 N × 1 m) / (7.85×10⁻⁷ m² × 10⁻⁵ m)

E = 1.25×10¹³ N/m²

Round as needed.

On a dry day, just after washing your hair to remove natural oils and drying it thoroughly, run a plastic comb through it. Small
Hitman42 [59]
When the surface of the comb rubs on your hair, the comb is electrically charged. When the comb comes close to the paper, the charge on the comb causes charge separation on the paper bits. Since paper is neutral, positive and negative charges are equivalent. The charge on the comb charges the area of the bit of paper nearest the comb to the opposite. Thus, the bits of paper become attracted to the comb.
