Which is true about Pluto

Physics
2 answers:

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.

Why is it difficult to walk on muddy road?
Gnesinka [82]
Because of internal friction between layers of mud particles called viscosity. When you walk, your foot exerts a force on the mud; and according to Newton, the mud also (is supposed to) exert an equal opposite force, which leading to an equal net resultant force in your direction, propelling you forward.

A ball is thrown vertically upward, which is the positive direction. A little later, it returns to its point of release. The bal
Aleks [24]

Answer:

The initial velocity of the ball is <u>39.2 m/s in the upward direction.</u>

Explanation:

Given:

Upward direction is positive. So, downward direction is negative.

Tota time the ball remains in air (t) = 8.0 s

Net displacement of the ball (S) = Final position - Initial position = 0 m

Acceleration of the ball is due to gravity. So, a=g=-9.8\ m/s^2(Acting down)

Now, let the initial velocity be 'u' m/s.

From Newton's equation of motion, we have:

S=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

Plug in the given values and solve for 'u'. This gives,

0=8u-0.5\times 9.8\times 8^2\\\\8u=4.9\times 64\\\\u=\frac{4.9\times 64}{8}\\\\u=4.9\times 8=39.2\ m/s

Therefore, the initial velocity of the ball is 39.2 m/s in the upward direction.

An attractive force of 7.2 N occurs between two point charges that are 0.10 m apart. If one charge is -4.0 µC, what is the other
Umnica [9.8K]
The answer is c. +2.0 µC

To calculate this, we will use Coulomb's Law:

F = k*Q1*Q2/r²

where F is force, k is constant, Q is a charge, r is a distance between charges.

k = 9.0 × 10⁹  N*m/C²


It is given:

F = 7.2 N

d = 0.1 m =  10⁻¹ m

Q1 = -4.0 µC = 4 * 1.0 × 10⁻⁶ = 4.0 × 10⁻⁶

Q2 = ?


Thus, let's replace this in the formula for the force:

7.2 = 9.0 × 10⁹ * 4.0 × 10⁻⁶ * Q2/(10⁻¹)²

7.2 = 9 * 4 * 10⁹⁻⁶ * Q2/10⁻¹°²

7.2 = 36 × 10³ * Q2 / 10⁻²

Multiply both sides of the equation by 10⁻²:

7.2 × 10⁻² = 36 × 10³ * Q2

⇒ Q2 = 7.2 × 10⁻² / 36 × 10³ = 7.2/36 × 10⁻²⁻³ = 0.2 × 10⁻⁵ = 2 × 10⁻⁶ 


Since µC = 1.0 × 10^-6:

Q2 = 2 * 1.0 × 10^-6 = 2 µC
