The astronomer who discovered the dwarf planet Eris suggests there might be another object far beyond the Kupier belt. If this P

lanet X exists, it would be about 10 times the mass of Earth and 2-3 times the size of Earth, putting it in the ice giant category, and have an orbit with a semi-major axis of 700 AU. You can read more about this object on NASA's page. If this object exists, what would we classify it as?

These objects would be classified as extreme trans Neptunian object (ETNO).

Explanation:

ETNO’s are the objects lying beyond the planet Neptune and orbiting the Sun. They follow a highly eccentric path which is tilted. ETNO has been grouped into three major according to their respective perihelia.  

Within this region (beyond Neptune’s orbit), a hypothetical planet has been discovered. It was discovered following its gravitational effect on the other objects of Kuiper Belt (region beyond the orbit of the Neptune- the last planet of our Solar system)

The Planet is assumed to be around 2 times the Earth’s size and around 10 times heavier than Earth.

Ugo [173]

Answer:

+1 m/s^2

Explanation:

Acceleration is given by

a=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}

where

\Delta v is the change in velocity

\Delta t is the time interval in which the change in velocity occurs

To find the acceleration at 1 second, we can take the data at t = 1 s and t = 2. We find:

\Delta t = -3 -(-4) = 1 s

\Delta v = 2 - (1) = +1 m/s

So, the acceleration is

a=\frac{+1}{1}=+1 m/s^2

0.10-kilogram model rocket’s engine is designed to deliver an impulse of 6.0 newton-seconds. If the rocket engine burns for 0.75
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

8.0 N

Explanation:

Force: This can be defined as the mass of a body and its acceleration. The S.I unit of Force is Newton (N).

Mathematically, Fore is expressed as

F = ma ........................... equation 1

Where F = force, m = mass, a = acceleration.

and

I = mΔv

Δv = I/m ............................ Equation 2

Where I = impulse, m = mass, Δv = change in velocity

Given: I = 6.0 Newton-seconds, m = 0.1 kilogram.

Substituting into equation 2

Δv = 6.0/0.1

Δv = 60 m/s.

But

a = Δv/t

where t = time = 0.75 seconds.

a = 60/0.75

a = 80 m/s²

Substitute the values of a and m into equation 1.

F = 0.1(80)

F = 8.0 N.

Thus the average force produced = 8.0 N

A planet is discovered orbiting around a star in the galaxy Andromeda at four times the distance from the star as Earth is from
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

Tp/Te = 2

Therefore, the orbital period of the planet is twice that of the earth's orbital period.

Explanation:

The orbital period of a planet around a star can be expressed mathematically as;

T = 2π√(r^3)/(Gm)

Where;

r = radius of orbit

G = gravitational constant

m = mass of the star

Given;

Let R represent radius of earth orbit and r the radius of planet orbit,

Let M represent the mass of sun and m the mass of the star.

r = 4R

m = 16M

For earth;

Te = 2π√(R^3)/(GM)

For planet;

Tp = 2π√(r^3)/(Gm)

Substituting the given values;

Tp = 2π√((4R)^3)/(16GM) = 2π√(64R^3)/(16GM)

Tp = 2π√(4R^3)/(GM)

Tp = 2 × 2π√(R^3)/(GM)

So,

Tp/Te = (2 × 2π√(R^3)/(GM))/( 2π√(R^3)/(GM))

Tp/Te = 2

Therefore, the orbital period of the planet is twice that of the earth's orbital period.

Yea, gonna need some help. Thanks
natulia [17]

Answer:

t = 3.48 s

Explanation:

The time for the maximum height can be calculated by taking the derivative of height function with respect to time and making it equal to zero:

h(t) = -16t^2+v_ot+h_o\\\\\frac{dh(t)}{dt}=0=-32t+v_o\\\\v_o = 32t

where,

v₀ = initial speed = 110 ft/s

Therefore,

110 = 32t\\\\t = \frac{110}{32}\\\\

<u>t = 3.48 s</u>
