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.

What is the half-reaction that occurs at the cathode during the electrolysis of molten potassium bromide?
polet [3.4K]

The complete ionization of KBr into its constituents is:<span>
<span>KBr (s)  --->  K+ (aq)  +  Br- (aq)</span></span>

<span>
During electrolysis, oxidation takes place at the anode electrode. This means that an ion is stripped off its electron hence becoming more positive:
<span>2 Br- (aq)  --->  Br2 (g) + 2e- </span></span>

We can see that Bromine gas Br2 is evolved at the anode. 

<span>
<span>Meanwhile at the cathode, the reduction reaction occurs. Which means that the electron from the anode electrode is used to make an ion more negative:
<span>2K+ (aq)  +  2e-  --->  2K (s) </span></span>
Hence, through reduction, solid potassium is deposited on the plate.</span>

 

 

Half reactions:

<span>Anode: 2 Br- (aq)  --->  Br2 (g) + 2e- </span>                       

<span>Cathode: 2K+ (aq)  +  2e-  --->  2K (s) </span>

Suppose two wagons, one with twice as much mass as the other, fly apart when a compressed spring that joins them is released. Th
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

The heavier wagon rolls 1/2 as fast as the lighter wagon.

Explanation:

When the compressed spring that joins them is released then the force acts on both wagons will be of equal magnitude but in the opposite direction. However as the mass of one wagon is twice that of other, so the acceleration  will become half of the heavier wagon in comparison with lighter one.

Please help me with this question​
Alexandra [31]

Answer:

(4) A = 3 A, A₂ = 11 A

(5) 7 A

Explanation:

(4)

From the diagram,

A = 3+6+2

A = 11 A

V = A₂R

A₂ = V/R₂............ Equation 1

Given: V = 12 V,  R₂ = 4 Ω

Substitute these values into equation 1

A₂ = 12/4

A₂ = 3 A

(5) Applying,

V = IR'

I = V/R'............ Equation 1

Where V = Voltage, I = cuurent, R' = total resistance.

But,

1/R' = (1/3)+(1/4)

1/R' = (3+4)/12

1/R' = 7/12

R' = 12/7 Ω

Given: V = 12 V

Substitute these values into equation 1

I = 12/(12/7)

I = 7 A

Therefore

A = 7 A
