Which is true about Pluto

Physics

Answer:

D.)it orbits near the Kepler belt

Explanation:

The Kuiper belt is an area similar to the asteroide belt extending from the orbit of Neptune to about 50 AU from the Sun. It mainly consists of icy asteroids and dwarf planets, which are rocky objects big enough to be defined as planet but that do not have enough gravity to clear their orbit from other obejcts.

Pluto was discovered in 1930 - initially it was classified as a planet, although it is much smaller than the other 8 planets of the Solar System. However, it has been recently de-classified to dwarf planet because its gravity is not enough to clear its orbit from other objects (asteroids). Pluto is located inside the Kuiper belt, so option D is correct. Other dwarf planets in the Kuiper belt are for instance Haumea and Makemake.

Answer:

<h2>D.) it orbits near the Kuiper belt.</h2>

Explanation:

You mean the Kuiper Belt, not the Kepler Belt.

The Kuiper Belt refers to the circumstellar disc that is border region of the Solar System, when Pluto it's present. Actually is from the Neptune's orbit to the outer Solar System.

The Kuiper Belt, we can define it as a larger asteroid belt, that contains three dwarf planets: Pluto, Haumea and Makemake. Dwarf planets refers to "planets" that have little mass, but they are not satellites, however they don't domain its region. So, it's like a satellite but we some characteristics of planets.

If a car moves with a uniform speed of 2m/s in a circle of radius 0.4m, what is its angular speed?
REY [17]

Answer:

The car's angular speed is \frac{rad}{s}.

Explanation:

Angular velocity is usually measured with \frac{radians}{sec}, so I'm going to use that to answer your question.

The relationship between tangential velocity and angular velocity (ω)  is given by:

V = \omega R

Using the values from the question, we get:

2 \frac{m}{s} = \omega (0.4m)

\omega = 5 \frac{rad}{s}

Therefore, the car's angular speed is 5 \frac{rad}{s}.

Hope this helped!

A object with a mass of 1.5 kg is lifted from the ground to a height of 0.22 m what is the objects potential energy
svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

<h2>3.3 J</h2>

Explanation:

The potential energy of a body can be found by using the formula

PE = mgh

where

m is the mass

h is the height

g is the acceleration due to gravity which is 10 m/s²

From the question we have

PE = 1.5 × 10 × 0.22

We have the final answer as

<h3>3.3 J</h3>

Hope this helps you

Communicating results allows scientists to learn from each other's results.
sveta [45]

True, scientists often talk to each other to figure out if their results were similar and what they could have done better.

Although, talking to other scientists does have risks, other scientists could copy your work and further better it.

So, your final answer is TRUE, sorry for the long answer, I needed to have a word count about 20 characters and then I got carried away! lol
