It would be 8 (in our solar system)
Mercury, Venus, Earth :D, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.

Many people believe Pluto is a planet, but it's been made official in 2006 that it should be dubbed a dwarf planet

Hi there!

Assuming you're asking about the solar system, there are nine planets. But, if you're wanting to know about the universe, there are trillions and trillions of planets (most of which we haven't yet discovered).

Hope this helps!

In one cycle a heat engine absorbs 450 J from a high-temperature reservoir and expels 290 J to a low-temperature reservoir. If t

Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

So the ratio will be $\frac{T_L}{T_H}=-0.171$

Explanation:

We have given heat engine absorbs 450 joule from high temperature reservoir

So $Q=450j$

As the heat engine expels 290 j

So work done W = 290 J

We know that efficiency $\eta =\frac{W}{Q}=\frac{290}{450}=0.6444$

It is given that efficiency of the engine only 55 % of Carnot engine

So efficiency of Carnot engine $=\frac{0.6444}{0.55}=1.171$

Efficiency of Carnot engine is $\eta =1-\frac{T_L}{T_H}$

$1.171 =1-\frac{T_L}{T_H}$

$\frac{T_L}{T_H}=-0.171$

If a wave hits a smooth surface at an angle of incidence of 40 degrees, the angle of reflection is

dem82 [27]

As the surface given is a smooth surface, we can use specular reflection. According to the law of specular reflection, the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection, so it will also be 40°. Answer is A.

klio [65]

Answer:

The acceleration of Abbie is half of the Zak's.

Explanation:

The centripetal acceleration of an object on a circular path is given by :

$a=r\omega^2$

Two children are riding on a merry-go-round that is rotating with a constant angular speed. Let $r_1$ is distance of Abbie from the merry-go-round and $r_2$ is distance of Zak's from the merry-go-round. Acceleration of Abbie is :

$a_1=r_1\omega^2$ ...... (1)

$r_1=1\ m$

Acceleration of Zak's is :

$a_2=r_2\omega^2$ .......(2)

$r_2=2\ m$

Dividing equation (1) and (2) we get :

$\dfrac{a_1}{a_2}=\dfrac{r_1}{r_2}\\\\\dfrac{a_1}{a_2}=\dfrac{1}{2}\\\\a_1=\dfrac{a_2}{2}$

So, the acceleration of Abbie is half of the Zak's.

erik [133]

Answer:

1 point is earned for stating that the conservation of energy should be applied to this situation.

1 point is earned for stating that the conservation of momentum should be applied to this situation.

Example Response:

Students will need to use both conservation of momentum (for the collision) and conservation of energy (for the slide down the ramp) to be able to determine the relationship between the release height of block X and the speed at which the two-block system travels after they collide and stick together.

Explanation:

Please say thank you.
