A _______ is a repeating disturbance or vibration that transfers or moves energy from place to place without transporting mass.
Harman [31]

Answer: wave

Explanation:

These are the basic definitions and characteristic of the terms given, which show tha the only rigth answer is the second option: wave.

1) Force is an interaction. There are four natural forces: electrostatic, gravity, strong nuclear force and weak nuclear force.

2) Wave: is a sequence of pulses or vibrations that cause the continuous transportation of energy (propagation). There is not transport of mass, only energy.

Some examples of waves are sound waves, electromagnetic waves (light, radio waves, micro waves, infrarred waves, ultraviolet waves).

3) Vacuum: is the absence of matter; empty space. Only electromagnetic waves can travel through vacuum; other waves need a medium to travel.

4) Medium: any matter is a medium: a solid, the air, a liquid, all of them are media through which waves can transport its energy, depending of the wavelength.

Pluto’s diameter is approximately 2370 km, and the diameter of its satellite Charon is 1250 km. Although the distance varies, th
MissTica

Answer:

r_{cm} = 2520.5 km

Explanation:

As we know that mass is the product of volume and density

so we will have

M = \rho V

here we have

M = \rho(\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3)

so we will have

\frac{M_p}{M_c} = (\frac{r_p}{r_c})^3

so we will have

\frac{M_p}{M_c} = (\frac{2370}{1250})^3

M_p = 6.81 M_c

now let the position of Pluto is at origin so we have

r_{cm} = \frac{M_p (0) + M_c(19700)}{M_p + M_c}

r_{cm} = \frac{19700}{\frac{M_p}{M_c} + 1}

r_{cm} = \frac{19700}{6.81 + 1}

r_{cm} = 2520.5 km

Jupiter's moon Io has active volcanoes (in fact, it is the most volcanically active body in the solar system) that eject materia
kramer

Answer:

The height reached by the material on Earth is 91 km.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass M_{Io}=8.93\times10^{22}\ kg

Radius = 1821 km

Height h_{Io}=500\ km

Suppose we need to find that how high would this material go on earth if it were ejected with the same speed as on Io?

We need to calculate the acceleration due to gravity on Io

Using formula of gravity

g =\dfrac{GM_{Io}}{(R_{Io})^2}

Put the value into the formula

g=\dfrac{6.67\times10^{-11}\times8.93\times10^{22}}{(1821\times10^{3})^2}

g=1.79\ m/s^2

Let  v be the speed at which the material is ejected.

We need to calculate the height

Using the formula of height

H=\dfrac{v^2}{2g}

Using ratio of height of earth and height of Io

\dfrac{H_{e}}{H_{Io}}=\dfrac{\dfrac{v^2}{2g_{e}}}{\dfrac{v^2}{2g_{Io}}}

\dfrac{H_{e}}{H_{Io}}=\dfrac{g_{Io}}{g_{e}}

Put the value into the formula

\dfrac{H_{e}}{H_{Io}}=\dfrac{1.79}{9.8}

\dfrac{H_{e}}{H_{Io}}=0.182

H_{e}=0.182\times H_{Io}

H_{e}=0.182\times500

H_{e}=91\ km

Hence, The height reached by the material on Earth is 91 km.
