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.

Otrada [13]

Explanation:

The increase in the body temperature of pronghorn, the fastest North American animal, results from the chemical energy of the pronghorn converting into kinetic energy with efficiency less than 100%. The remaining energy is converted into heat energy. Thus, raising the temperature of pronghorn.

Due to the chemical energy it gains both kinetic and heat energy.

A cat is moving at 18 m/s when it accelerates for 2 seconds. What is its acceleration?
vova2212 [387]

Answer: acceleration:4 m/s^{2}

              velocity: 26 m/s

Explanation:

The complete question is written bellow:

<em>A cat is moving at 18 m/s when it accelerates at </em>4 m/s^{2}<em> for 2 seconds. What is his new velocity?  </em>

<em />

In this situation the following equation will be useful:

V=V_{o}+at

Where:

V is the cat’s final velocity (new velocity)

V_{o}=18 m/s is the cat’s initial velocity

a=4 m/s^{2} is the cat's acceleration

t=2 s is the time

Solving the equation:

V=18 m/s+(4 m/s^{2})(2 s)

V=26 m/s This is the cat's new velocity

To practice Problem-Solving Strategy 11.1 Equilibrium of a Rigid Body. A horizontal uniform bar of mass 2.7 kg and length 3.0 m
Zanzabum

Answer:

T_{1} = 14.88 N

Explanation:

Let's begin by listing out the given variables:

M = 2.7 kg, L = 3 m, m = 1.35 kg, d = 0.6 m,

g = 9.8 m/s²

At equilibrium, the sum of all external torque acting on an object equals zero

τ(net) = 0

Taking moment about T_{1} we have:

(M + m) g * 0.5L - T_{2}(L - d) = 0

⇒ T_{2} = [(M + m) g * 0.5L] ÷ (L - d)

T_{2} = [(2.7 + 1.35) * 9.8 * 0.5(3)] ÷ (3 - 0.6)

T_{2}= 59.535 ÷ 2.4

T_{2} = 24.80625 N ≈ 24.81 N

Weight of bar(W) = M * g = 2.7 * 9.8 = 26.46 N

Weight of monkey(w) = m * g = 1.35 * 9.8 = 13.23 N

Using sum of equilibrium in the vertical direction, we have:

T_{1} + T_{2} = W + w   ------- Eqn 1

Substituting T2, W & w into the Eqn 1

T_{1} + 24.81 = 26.46 + 13.23

T_{1} = <u>14.88</u> N
