There are many different possibilities depending among other things on the size, composition and heat of the objects, and their velocity relative to each other when they collide. Two possibilities: they might just bump each other and go on their way with very little damage, or they might smash each other completely to bits.

Which object orbits earth in both the earth centered and sun centered models?

That would be the moon. We've never thought of it that way ... the only object whose status didn't change between the geocentric and heliocentric model. Thanks for showing it to us.


From where do comets that orbit the sun every 200 years come from?

Comets with orbits around the sun of about 200 years or more typically come from the Oort Cloud, a region of icy bodies located far beyond the orbit of Pluto. These comets are thought to be influenced by passing stars or the gravitational pull of the Milky Way galaxy, causing them to enter the inner solar system on long, elliptical orbits.


Which planet never goes in a retrograde motion?

in our solar system the planets which are of a closer proximity to the sun than the earth never go in a retrograding motion as their orbits are smaller


What if there was gravity in space?

If there was gravity in space, objects would be pulled towards each other, affecting their motion and orbits. This could lead to different interactions between celestial bodies and potentially alter the dynamics of the universe as we know it.


Which object can never be seen in an opposite direction in the sky from the sun?

The object that can never be seen in an opposite direction in the sky from the sun is the moon. This is because the moon orbits the Earth and is typically positioned in relation to the sun, leading to the phenomenon of phases. When the sun is visible in the sky, the moon is usually located in the same general direction or nearby, rather than directly opposite. Thus, it’s impossible to see the moon directly opposite the sun at the same time.

What is the difference between dead object and inanimate object?

inanimate objects were never alive dead objects were once alive.


What is a Small rocky object that orbits the sun in a belt between Mars and Jupiter?

A small rocky object that orbits the Sun in a belt between Mars and Jupiter is known as an asteroid. This region is commonly referred to as the asteroid belt, where thousands of these objects, composed mainly of rock and metal, reside. Asteroids vary in size and shape, and they are remnants from the early solar system that never coalesced into a planet.


Can an object gain the velocity of light?

The word object is a very general term. A photon is also an object, and it does travel at the speed of light. But it never travels at any other speed, so it doesn't "gain" that speed. If we were to ask about objects made of atoms, then the answer is no, they can never accelerate to the velocity of light. They can get arbitrarily close, depending upon how much energy is used to accelerate them, but they can never actually get to the full speed of light.


Why Bohr's orbit are called stationary orbits?

The orbits never change their position...


What happends when an inmoveable object meets an unstopeble object?

That will never happen - it can't happen actually. Any time you apply a force to an object, it will accelerate - its velocity will change.


Friction will never speed up an object?

Friction always opposes motion, so it can never speed up an object. Friction slows down or stops an object's motion by acting in the opposite direction. To speed up an object, a force stronger than friction, like a push or a pull, is needed.


Six monocular cues for depth perception?

Relative Size: All things being equal, more distant objects look smaller than closer objects.Texture Gradient: The texture of objects becomes less apparent as objects move farther away.Interposition: One object that's closer blocks our view of an object behind it. From this fact, we know which object is closer and which is farther away.Linear Perspective: The outlines of rooms or buildings converge as distance increases, a fact exploited by artists in perspective drawing. The lines never actually meet but they appear to from a distance.Height in Plane: In a scene, distant object tend to appear higher, and nearer objects lower.Light and Shadow: Objects cast shadows that give us a sense of their three-dimensional form


Is direct object an adjective?

No. It is an adverb. It is based on the related adjective, which is direct.


Oort cloud comets are so far from the Sun that gravity of neighboring stars can alter their orbits?

True. We think; the Oort Cloud is a hypothesis, because so far we are unable to detect small dark objects so far from the Earth. We have never actually detected anything in the Oort Cloud. But long-period comets come from SOMEWHERE, and Jan Oort's idea of a "cloud" of primitive objects makes sense.

Why does an object look bigger in a glass of water than outside the glass?

Bent light rays. Note - you never actually "see" an object, just the light reflecting off it.


What objects travel in elongated cigar-shaped paths around the Sun?

Long-period comets such as Halley's Comet have elliptical orbits that stretch billions of miles out of the solar system and back again. Other comets have hyperbolic orbits that bring them close once but never again, or at least not for many millions of years.
