the planet neptune

The dwarf planet pluto.

The question literally has the words dwarf planet in it.  Pluto is the only dwarf in the solar system. All you had to do was look up which planet is in front of Pluto.

Answer:

Planet: Neptune

Dwarf Planet: Pluto

Explanation:

Kuiper belt starts just after the orbit of planet Neptune at a distance of around 30 AU (1AU = 150 Million km) and extends up to 50AU from the Sun. This is home to billions of comet as well as lot of rocky bodies. Most famous of them is Pluto, which was earlier designated as a planet. In 2006, when the criteria for declaring a celestial body as a planet were reworked, Pluto was designated as a dwarf Planet.

The comet are thought to have formed at the time of the Solar system formation and resides in Kuiper Belt and Oort's cloud. The comets which reside in Kuiper belt are known as short period or periodic comets.

What characteristic of a planet determines the acceleration due to gravity on it?
Korvikt [17]
The mass of a planet determines the acceleration due to gravity on it. This is according to Newton's Law of Gravitation, which basically states that the more mass a body has, the greater the force of attraction it exerts on other bodies with mass near it.

The gravitational force is:

F = GMm/r², where G is a constant, r is the distance between large mass M and small mass m.

Considering the fact that acceleration is force per unit mass, if we divide gravitational force by the small mass (to get force per unit mass), we see the dependence mathematically:

a = GM/r²

The downward force produced when air flows over the winglike spoiler on a race car is an example of ___ principle
Murljashka [212]

As per bernoulli's principle

P_1 + \frac{1}{2}\rho v_1^2 = P_2 + \frac{1}{2}\rho v_2^2

here

P_1 = pressure upwards

P_2 = pressure downwards

v_1 = velocity of air upwards

v_2 = velocity of air downwards

now from this equation we can say that the pressure difference will be

P_1 - P_2 = \frac{1}{2}\rho v_2^2 - \frac{1}{2}\rho v_1^2

now the force due to this pressure difference will be

F = (P_1 - P_2)A

so this is the above force which is given above
