Cientists make observations of an unknown object in space. The table shows their data. Question Observation
What is the diameter of the object? 465 kilometers
What is the distance of the object from the Sun? 2.36 astronomical units (AU)
What is the surface temperature of the object? −73°C
What are the visible surface features of the object? numerous craters
What is the composition of the object? primarily silicate rocks and metals

What object are the scientists observing, and what can they infer from their observations?
A.
The object is a comet. It can be inferred that it is rapidly spinning due to the large diameter of the object.

B.
The object is a comet. It can be inferred that it is mostly black due to chemical compounds frozen on the surface.

C.
The object is an asteroid. It can be inferred that it is volcanically active due to the presence of craters on the object's surface.

D.
The object is an asteroid. It can be inferred that it is a light gray color due to the presence of silicate rocks in the comp

Cells in the nervous system have a potential difference of 70 mv across the cell membrane separating the interior of the cell from the extracellular fluid. this potential difference is maintained by ion pumps that move charged ions across the membrane. is this an emf? select the correct answer and explanation. 1)no. the ion pumps cannot separate charges; thus, they cannot create a potential difference. 2)yes. the ion pumps cannot separate charges, but they still can create a potential difference. 3)yes. the ion pumps can actively separate charge; thus, they can create a potential difference. 4)no. the ion pumps can separate charges, but they cannot create a potential difference.
