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 blue puck has a velocity of 3i –4j m/s. Its mass is 20 kg. What is its momentum?
damaskus [11]
P = m * v
v = {3i - 4j} = square root (3^2 + 4^2) = 5
P = 20 * 5
P = 100 kg m/s

A 2 kg stone is tied to a 0.5 m string and swung around a circle at a constant angular velocity of 12 rad/s. the angular momentu
Illusion [34]
Starting from the angular velocity, we can calculate the tangential velocity of the stone:
v=\omega r= (12 rad/s)(0.5 m)= 6 m/s

Then we can calculate the angular momentum of the stone about the center of the circle, given by
L=mvr
where
m is the stone mass
v its tangential velocity
r is the radius of the circle, that corresponds to the length of the string.

Substituting the data of the problem, we find
L=(2 kg)(6 m/s)(0.5 m)=6 kg m^2 s^{-1}

The magnetic field around a current-carrying wire is ________proportional to the current and _________proportional to the distan
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:Thus, The magnetic field around a current-carrying wire is <u><em>directly</em></u>  proportional to the current and <u><em>inversely</em></u>  proportional to the distance from the wire.  If the current triples while the distance doubles, the strength of the magnetic field increases by <u><em>one and half (1.5)</em></u> times.

Explanation:

Magnetic field around a long current carrying wire is given by

B=\frac{\mu _o I}{2\pi r}

where B= magnetic field

           \mu _o= permeability of free space

           I= current in the long wire and

           r= distance from the current carrying wire

Thus, The magnetic field around a current-carrying wire is <u><em>directly</em></u>  proportional to the current and <u><em>inversely</em></u>  proportional to the distance from the wire.  

Now if I'=3I and r'=2r then magnetic field B' is given by

B'=\frac{\mu _oI'}{2\pi r'}=\frac{\mu _o3I}{2\pi 2r}=1.5B

Thus If the current triples while the distance doubles, the strength of the magnetic field increases by <u><em>one and half (1.5)</em></u> times.
