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.

During each cycle, a refrigerator ejects 610 kJ of energy to a high-temperature reservoir, and takes in 505 kJ of energy from a
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer

A. the work done on the refrigerant in each cycle is 105kJ

B the coefficient of performance of the refrigerator is 4.8

Explanation

Given data

Work done at high temperature T2 Qh=610kJ

Work done at low temperature T1 Ql=505kJ

We know that the net work done by the refrigerator is expressed as

Wnet= Qh-Ql

=610-505

=105kJ

Also we know that the coefficient of performance is expressed as

COP= Ql/Wnet

COP= 505/105

= 4.8

What is the mass moment of inertia of a 20kg sphere with a radius of 0.2m about a point on the sphere's perimeter
Kobotan [32]

Answer:

I = M R^2 is the moment of inertia about a point that is a distance R from the center of mass (uniform distributed mass).

The moment  of inertia about the center of a sphere is 2 / 5 M R^2.

By the parallel axis theorem the moment of inertia about a point on the rim of the sphere is  I = 2/5 M R^2 + M R^2 = 7/5 M R^2

I = 7/5 * 20 kg * .2^2 m = 1.12 kg m^2

¿que es la energia interna?
Vladimir [108]

Answer:

La energía interna es el resultado de la contribución de la energía cinética de las moléculas o átomos que lo constituyen, de sus energías de rotación, traslación y vibración, además de la energía potencial intermolecular debida a las fuerzas de tipo gravitatorio, electromagnético y nuclear.

How to do this question
Anna71 [15]

Answer:

(a) 10 m/s

(b) 22.4 m/s

Explanation:

(a) Draw a free body diagram of the car when it is at the top of the loop.  There are two forces: weight force mg pulling down, and normal force N pushing down.

Sum of forces in the centripetal direction (towards the center):

∑F = ma

mg + N = mv²/r

At minimum speed, the normal force is 0.

mg = mv²/r

g = v²/r

v = √(gr)

v = √(10 m/s² × 10.0 m)

v = 10 m/s

(b) Energy is conserved.

Initial kinetic energy + initial potential energy = final kinetic energy

½ mv₀² + mgh = ½ mv²

v₀² + 2gh = v²

(10 m/s)² + 2 (10 m/s²) (20.0 m) = v²

v = 22.4 m/s

An object is 30 cm in front of a converging lens with a focal length of 10 cm. Use ray tracing to determine the location of the
poizon [28]

Answer:

Inverted

Real

Explanation:

u = Object distance =  30 cm

v = Image distance

f = Focal length = 10 cm

Lens Equation

\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{u}+\frac{1}{v}\\\Rightarrow \frac{1}{f}-\frac{1}{u}=\frac{1}{v}\\\Rightarrow \frac{1}{v}=\frac{1}{10}-\frac{1}{30}\\\Rightarrow \frac{1}{v}=\frac{1}{15}\\\Rightarrow v=15\ cm

As, the image distance is positive the image is real and forms on the other side of the lens

m=-\frac{v}{u}\\\Rightarrow m=-\frac{-15}{30}\\\Rightarrow m=-0.5

As, the magnification is negative the image is inverted
