The existence of the dwarf planet Pluto was proposed based on irregularities in Neptune's orbit. Pluto was subsequently discover

ed near its predicted position. But it now appears the discovery was fortuitous, because Pluto is small and the irregularities in Neptune's orbit were not well known. To illustrate that Pluto has a minor effect on the orbit of Neptune, calculate the acceleration due to gravity at Neptune, in m/s2, due to Pluto when they are 4.50x1012 m apart, as they are at present. The mass of Pluto is 1.4x1022 kg.

Answer:

Acceleration due to gravity, a=4.61\times 10^{-14}\ m/s^2

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of Pluto, m=1.4\times 10^{22}\ kg

Distance between Neptune and Pluto, r=4.5\times 10^{12}\ m

The force of gravity is balanced by the gravitational force between Neptune and Pluto. It is given by :

a=\dfrac{Gm}{r^2}

a=\dfrac{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 1.4\times 10^{22}}{(4.5\times 10^{12})^2}

a=4.61\times 10^{-14}\ m/s^2

So, the acceleration due to gravity at Neptune due to Pluto is 4.61\times 10^{-14}\ m/s^2. Hence, this is the required solution.

A spring has been compressed inside a toy what kind of energy is this
zlopas [31]

Answer:

Elastic Potential Energy

Explanation:

Elastic Potential Energy (“Spring Energy”) is the form of energy an object has when it is stretched, compressed, twisted, bent, or otherwise has its shape changed as long as the object resists and will try to return to its original state.

Is visible light a form of<br> radiation? Explain.
natali 33 [55]

Answer:

Yes,in fact visible 'light' is a form of radiation, which can be defined as an energy that travels in the form of electromagnetic waves. It can also be described as a flow of particle-like 'wave-packets', called photons, that travel constantly at the speed of light (about 300 000 kilometres per second).

In the writing of ionic chemical formulas, what factor is "crossed over" in the crossover rule?
Aleks04 [339]

In the writing of ionic chemical formulas the value of each ion's charge is crossed over in the crossover rule.

Rules for naming Ionic compounds

  • Frist Rule
    The cation (element with a negative charge) is written first in the name then the anion(element with a positive charge) is written second in the name.
  • Second rule
    When the formula unit contains two or more of the same polyatomic ion, that ion is written in parentheses with the subscript written outside the parentheses.
    Example: Sodium carbonate is written as Na₂CO₃ not Na₂(CO)₃
  • Third rule
    If the cation is a metal ion with a fixed charge then the name of the cation will remain the same as the (neutral) element from which it is derived (Example: Na+ will be sodium).
    If the cation is a metal ion with a variable charge, the charge on the cation is indicated using a Roman numeral, in parentheses, immediately following the name of the cation (example: Fe³⁺ = iron(III)).
  • Fourth rule
    If the anion is a monatomic ion, the anion is named by adding the suffix <em>-ide</em> to the root of the element name (example: F = Fluoride).

The oxidation state of each ion is also important, thus in the crossover rule, the value of each ion's charge is crossed over.
