THE ANSWER IS: Dwarf planet

In 2006, Pluto's classification was changed from one of the major planets of the Solar System to a dwarf planet. This is in part because other bodies were discovered orbiting the Sun that are as large as or larger than Pluto, but smaller than the other major planets. One of these is called Eris. There is also an asteroid or dwarf planet, called Ceres, about the size of Pluto, orbiting the Sun between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.

The tension in the string with friction would be the biggest because of the involvement of the force of gravity. This would result in that the friction force that is acting on the system. There is no friction in the frictionless system, and only the force of gravity is relevant.

If the separation between the openings in a laser is increased, then the distance between the interference fringes decreases

<h3>What is Interference fringe ?</h3>

Interference fringe refers to bands caused by different lights which can be found in phase or not each other.

Distances between laser fringes are short which is due to light wavelength.
The interference fringes can be estimated by knowing slit separation and wavelength.

In conclusion, if the separation between the openings in a laser is increased, then the distance between the interference fringe decreases

Bryce, a mouse lover, keeps his four pet mice in a roomy cage, where they spend much of their spare time–when they\'re not sleep

Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

mice total momentum (-0.000250, 0.00639) Kg m

Explanation:

To calculate the moment of the mice we must multiply their mass by their velocities, remember that the moment is a vector quantity, so we use the components of velocity

mouse 1

m1 = 0.0225 Kg

V1 = (0.869, -0.283) m / s

Px = m Vx

Px1 = 0.0225 0.869

Px1 = 0.01955 Kg m

Py = m Vy

Py1 = 0.0225 (-0.283)

Py1 = -0.006368 Kg m

P1 = (0.0196, -0.00637) Kg m

Mouse 2

m2 = 0.0223 Kg

Px2 = 0.0223 (-0.883) = -0.0196 Kg m

Py2 = 0.0223 (-0.253) = -0.00564 Kg m

P2 = (-0.0196, -0.00564) Kg m

Mouse 3

m3 = 0.0197

Px3 = 0.0197 0.345 = 0.00680 Kg m

Py3 = 0.0197 0.803 = 0.0158 Kg m

P3 = (0.00680, 0.0158) Kg m

Mouse4

m4 = 0.0127 Kg

Px4 = 0.0127 (-0.555) = -0.00705 Kg m

Py4 = 0.0127 0.205 = 0.00260 Kg m

P4 = (-0.00705, 0.00260) Kg m

To find the total momentum we must add each component of the individual moments

Px = Px1 + Px2 + Px3 + Px4

Py = py1 + Py2 + Py3 + Py4

Px = 0.0196 -0.0196 +0.00680 -0.00705

Px = -0,000250 Kg m

Py = -0.00637 -0.00564 +0.0158 +0.00260

Py = 0.00639 Kg m

P = (-0.000250, 0.00639) Kg m

A 7 ft tall person is walking away from a 20 ft tall lamppost at a rate of 5 ft/sec. Assume the scenario can be modeled with rig

aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

The rate of change of the shadow length of a person is 2.692 ft/s

Solution:

As per the question:

Height of a person, H = 20 ft

Height of a person, h = 7 ft

Rate = 5 ft/s

Now,

From Fig.1:

b = person's distance from the lamp post

a = shadow length

Also, from the similarity of the triangles, we can write:

$\frac{a + b}{20} = \frac{a}{7}$

$a = \frac{7}{13}b$

Differentiating the above eqn w.r.t t:

$\frac{da}{dt} = \frac{7}{13}.\frac{db}{dt}$

Now, we know that:

Rate = $\frac{db}{dt} = 5\ ft/s$

Thus

$\frac{da}{dt} = \frac{7}{13}.\times 5 = 2.692\ ft/s$
