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.

How many joules of electrical energy is transferred per second by 6V 0.5 A lamp?
Degger [83]

When you ask for "joules per second", you're asking for "watts".
The rate of energy "transfer" is 'power'.  In this case, the light bulb
transfers energy out of the electrical circuit and into the space
around it, in the form of light and heat radiation.

Electrical power = (voltage) x (current) =

                              (6 volts) x (0.5 ampere) =

                                          3 watts  =  3 joules per second.

Need Help with this physics question, just a written response
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

According to Newton's third law, every action has an equal and opposite reaction

so it tells us that the force exerted by the earth on the spacecraft is equal to the force exerted by the spacecraft on the earth. But we do not see the earth moving towards the spacecraft because the inertia of the spacecraft is very less than the inertia of the earth.
