Meteors and Comets Have you ever seen a shooting star? These sudden bright
streaks are called meteors. A meteor is a streak of light produced when a small
piece of rock or ice, known as a meteoroid, burns up as it enters Earth's
atmosphere. You can see a meteor on almost any clear night.
Comets are rarer sights than meteors. A comet is a cold mixture of dust and ice
that develops a long trail of light as it approaches the sun. When a comet is far
from the sun, it is frozen. As it gets close to the sun, the cloud trailing behind the
comet forms a glowing tail made up of hot dust and gases.
Perhaps the most famous comet is Halley's Comet. This highly visible comet was
documented by Edmund Halley, who calculated its orbit and predicted its next
appearance in the sky. Sure enough, the comet appeared as he predicted in
1758, although Halley didn't live to see it. It has continued to appear about every
75 years, last appearing in 1986.

1. How close was Halley’s Comet to Earth in 1910? create an equation to answer the question

2. Estimate the next three years when Halley’s Comet will appear.

3. The core of Halley’s Comet is a oblong in shape, with its longest deminsion 16km long. Earths diameter is about 12,700 km. How many times larger in diameter is Earth than Halley’s Comet?

Thank you!

At the olympic games, many events have several rounds of competition. one of these events is the men's 100-meter backstroke. the upper dot plot shows the times (in seconds) of the top 8 finishers in the final round of the 2012 olympics. the lower dot plot shows the times of the same 8 swimmers, but in the semifinal round. which pieces of information can be gathered from these dot plots? (remember that lower swim times are faster.) choose all answers that apply: a: the swimmers had faster times on average in the final round. b: the times in the final round vary noticeably more than the times in the semifinal round. c: none of the above.

Since opening night, attendance at play a has increased steadily, while attendance at play b first rose and then fell. equations modeling the daily attendance y at each play are shown below, where x is the number of days since opening night. on what day(s) was the attendance the same at both plays? what was the attendance? play a: y = 8x + 191 play b: y = -x^2 + 26x + 126 a. the attendance was never the same at both plays. b. the attendance was the same on day 5. the attendance was 231 at both plays on that day. c. the attendance was the same on day 13. the attendance was 295 at both plays on that day. d. the attendance was the same on days 5 and 13. the attendance at both plays on those days was 231 and 295 respectively.
