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.

A food processor draws 8.47 A of current when connected to a potential difference of 110 V.

Andreyy89

Answer:

27.95[kW*min]

Explanation:

We must remember that the power can be determined by the product of the current by the voltage.

$P=V*I$

where:

P = power [W]

V = voltage [volt]

I = amperage [Amp]

Now replacing:

$P=110*8.47\\P=931.7[W]$

Now the energy consumed can be obtained mediate the multiplication of the power by the amount of time in operation, we must obtain an amount in Kw per hour [kW-min]

$Energy = 931.7[kW]*30[days]*10[\frac{min}{1day} ]=279510[W*min]or 27.95[kW*min]$

Jeff's body contains about 5.46 L of blood that has a density of 1060 kg/m3. Approximately 45.0% (by mass) of the blood is cells

barxatty [35]

Answer:

The mass of blood is $m= 5.7876kg$

The number of blood cells is $N_t=1.04*10^{13}$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The volume of blood is $V_b = 5.46 \ L = \frac{5.46}{1000} = 0.00546m^3$

The density of the blood is $\rho_b = 1060 kg/m^3$

% of blood that is cell is = 45.0%

% of the blood that is plasma is = 55.0%

density of blood cell is $\rho_d = 1125kg/m^3$

% of cell that are white is = 1%

% of cell that is red is = 99%

The diameter of the red blood cell is = $7.5 \mu m = 7.5*10^{-6}m$

The radius of the red blood cell is $= \frac{7.5*10^{-6}}{2} = 3.75*10^{-6}m$

Generally the mass is mathematically represented as

$m = \rho_b * V_b$

Substituting value

$m = 1060 * 0.00546$

$m= 5.7876kg$

Mass of cell is $m_c$ = 45% of m

= 0.45 * 5,7876

= 2.60442 kg

The volume of cells is $V_c$ = $\frac{m_c}{\rho_d}$

$= \frac{2.60442}{1125}$

$= 2.315 *10^{-3} m^3$

The volume of white blood cell is $V_w$ = 1% of volume of cells

$= \frac{1}{100} * 2.315*10^{-3}$

$= 2.315*10^{-5}m^3$

The volume of a single cell is $V_s = 4 \pi r^3$

$= 4*(3.142) * (3.75*10^{-6})^3$

$= 2.21*10^{-16}m^3$

The volume of red blood cells is $V_r = V_c - V_w$

$=2.315*10^{-3} - 2.315*10^{-5}$

$= 2.29*10^{-3}m^3$

The number of red blood cell is $= \frac{V_r}{V_s}$

$= \frac{2.29 *10^{-3}}{2.21*10^{-16}}$

$= 1.037*10^{13}$

The Number of white blood cell is $=\frac{V_w}{V_s}$

$= \frac{2.315 * 10^{-5}}{2.21*10^{-16}}$

$= 1.04*10^{11}$

The total number of blood cells is $N_t= 1.037*10^{13} + 1.04*10^{11}$

$N_t=1.04*10^{13}$

A hockey puck with mass 0.3 kg is shot across an ice-covered pond. Before the hockey puck was hit, the puck was at rest. After t

JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

The net friction force is 8.01 N

Explanation:

Net friction force = mass of hockey puck × acceleration

From the equations of motion

v^2 = u^2 + 2as

v = 40 m/s

u = 0 m/s (puck was initially at rest)

s = 30 m

40^2 = 0^2 + 2×a×30

60a = 1600

a = 1600/60 = 26.7 m/s^2

The acceleration of the puck is 26.7 m/s^2

Net friction force = 0.3 × 26.7 = 8.01 N

Exoplanets (planets outside our solar system) are an active area of modern research. Suppose astronomers find such a planet that

Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

8.829 m/s²

Explanation:

M = Mass of Earth

m = Mass of Exoplanet

$g_e$ = Acceleration due to gravity on Earth = 9.81 m/s²

g = Acceleration due to gravity on Exoplanet

$m=M-0.1M\\\Rightarrow m=0.9M$

$g_e=G\frac{M}{r^2}$

$g=G\frac{0.9M}{r^2}$

Dividing the equations we get

$\frac{g}{g_e}=\frac{G\frac{0.9M}{r^2}}{G\frac{M}{r^2}}\\\Rightarrow \frac{g}{g_e}=0.9\\\Rightarrow g=0.9g_e\\\Rightarrow g=0.9\times 9.81\\\Rightarrow g=8.829\ m/s^2$

Acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the Exoplanet is 8.829 m/s²
