remain categorized as a planet?
Pluto would need to have an atmosphere.
Pluto would need to clear the neighborhood of its orbit.
Pluto would need to have a larger moon.
Pluto would need to have water or ice.

The second answer is the correct response, as Pluto is found in the kuiper belt, and there are objects that are roughly the same size as Pluto.

Answer: Pluto would need to clear the neighborhood of its orbit.

Explanation:

Pluto was once a planet and was demoted to dwarf planet in year 2006. A celestial object is considered to be a planet when it is round in shape, it has elliptical orbit around a star and it clears it neighborhood.

Pluto lies in Kuiper belt and there were many more bodies similar to Pluto. Hence, it was demoted to a dwarf planet. Had Pluto been still a planet, it would need to clear neighborhood of its orbit.

An object is thrown upward with a speed of 15 m/s on the surface of planet X where the acceleration due to gravity is 2.5 m/s2.
Alex

Answer:

12s

Explanation:

the formula is

s = u×t + 0.5×a×t²

where:

s is the displacement of the object at this time (so it's equal to 0)

u is the initial speed

t is the time you have to find

a is the acceleration due to gravity

0 = 15 \frac{m}{s}  \times t + 0.5 \times 2.5 \frac{m}{{s}^{2} }  \times  {t}^{2}

15 \frac{m}{s}  \times t = 0.5 \times 2.5 \frac{m}{ {s}^{2} }   \times  {t}^{2}

15 \frac{m}{s} = 1.25 \frac{m}{{s}^{2} }  \times  {t}

t =  \frac{15 \frac{m}{ {s}^{} } }{1.25 \frac{m}{ {s}^{2} } }

t = 12s

Compare and contrast area and volume
katovenus [111]
Area is a region bounded by a CLOSED path, curved path or path with line segments.  Area is usually a two dimensional physical quantity, a designated part on a plane.  An example the surface of a table, face of a wall or a ceiling.  It can also be a surface in 3-dimensions.  Its units are meter² or centimeter² or feet²  etc. A large agricultural field is a good example of an area.  Normally and ideally no object can reside or exist with in an area. An object requires a volume.  It is a collection of all points enclosed or bounded by the boundary or closed path.  It does not have any thickness.

Volume is a 3-dimensional quantity. A physical body occupies space with its material components. It is the amount of space occupied, that is its volume. Any existing body occupying some space has a mass and volume.  A mass having a volume, has surface area and thickness, a height perpendicular to its surface at each point on the surface.
It is expressed as meter³, feet³ etc.
Volume is a product of surface area (cross-section) and length - for example for a wire or rod.
