Answer:

It has several other objects in its orbit , though few are as massive as itself.

Explanation:

A celestial body orbiting the sun is considered a planet when its mass is more than sum of all other celestial bodies moving along with it in its orbit round the sun.

Eris is slightly more massive than Pluto. However, both of them are smaller than Earth's Moon.
This should conclude that Eris is a dwarf planet.

There is a moon orbiting an Earth-like planet. The mass of the moon is 9.58 × 1022 kg, the center-to-center separation of the pl

Answer:

= 4.38 × 10³⁴kgm²/s

Explanation:

Given that,

mass of moon m = 9.5 × 10²²kg

Orbital radius r = 4.28 × 10⁵km

Orbital period T = 28.9days

T = 28.9 × 24 × 60 × 60

= 2,496,960s

Angular momentum of the moon about the planet

L = mvr

L = mr²w

$L = mr^2\frac{2\pi }{T} \\\\L = \frac{9.5 \times 10^2^2 \times(4.28\times10^8)^2\times2\times3.14}{2496960} \\\\L = 4.389.5 \times 10^3^4kgm^2/s$

Divide CFU of Dilution. Divide the CFU of the dilution (the number of colonies you counted) by the result from step 4. For this example, you work out 46 ÷ 1/1000, which is the same as 46 x 1,000. The result is 46,000 CFU in the original sample.
