please help me if you have this answer...also, let me know where you found it. I've been searching all day...and it'll be the only answer i get wrong on this quiz. thanks.
Why does the dust tail of a comet curve?
A.) Dust loses momentum after photon collision
B.) Dust loses speed due to friction.
I've googled both answers and can't seem to determine which one is the true statement. i'm in college...and my professor most definitely doesn't cover the required material in class....her lecture, tests, and the text do not coincide what so ever.
