Nothing fuels a comet. They are just ice balls orbiting the Sun forever (until they run into something). By the way, the tails of comets do not stream out behind them. The tails of comets always point away from the Sun.

What forces are acting on a hanging pen?
When a pen is hanging, two forces act on it - the upthrust and the force of tension in the string.
When two forces act on an object in opposite directions the net force is caculated by what?
By the vector sum of the forces. When the forces act exactly in opposite directions, you subtract one force from the other. When they act at some other angle, the calculation is a bit more complicated.
What kinds of forces can act on an object?
Normal force can act on an object
What two forces act in the nucleus to create a nuclear tug of war?
The Strong Nuclear Force and the Electromagnetic Force
What will happen if forces that act on an object are not balanced?
Then the objects will move in the direction of the resultant force.
What force is acted on by another?
Forces don't act on other forces - forces act on objects.
How do you find the net force when two forces act the same direction?
If many forces act in the same direction on an object, then the net force is their sum.
What are some forces that can act when in contact?
cohesive force and Adhesive force
What types of forces act on structures?
external force and internal force
How the condition for two force system to be equivalent?
That depends on the direction of the forces. If the two forces act in the same direction, the resultant force will be doubled and if the two forces act in the oppsite direction, the resultant force will be null or zero.
Are net forces and unbalanced forces the same thing?
Net force is the sum of all forces that act on an object. An unbalanced force means that net force is not equal to zero. If that is the case, the object will accelerate.Net force is the sum of all forces that act on an object. An unbalanced force means that net force is not equal to zero. If that is the case, the object will accelerate.Net force is the sum of all forces that act on an object. An unbalanced force means that net force is not equal to zero. If that is the case, the object will accelerate.Net force is the sum of all forces that act on an object. An unbalanced force means that net force is not equal to zero. If that is the case, the object will accelerate.
What is ranging force?
Long range forces are forces that act over a distance.
How do you determine the net force on an objects if all forces act in the same direction?
If all of the individual forces on an object act in the same direction, then the net force on it is simply the sum of the magnitudes of the individual forces, and is in the same direction as all of them.
Forces that act at a distance?
Those include electrical forces, magnetic forces, and gravitation.
What is long range force?
Long range forces are forces that act over a distance.
Which two forces act on you when you stand on ice?
Normal force & Gravitational forces are acting on you.
Forces that act on an object at a distance?
Some forces do not involve physical contact between the bodies on which they act. They act through the space between them. Such forces are called Non-Contact Forces or Action-at-a Distance Force. They are of three types, namely, magnetic force, electrostatic force and gravhtational force. Magnetic Force -- The forces which a magnet exerts on iron objects is called magnetic forces. Electrostatic Force -- The force which result due to the repulsion of similar charges or attraction of opposite charges is called electrostatic force. Gravitational force -- The force by which Earth pulls the objects towards its centre is called gravitational force.
