What properties of Pluto might make scientists think that it is a Kuiper Belt Object?

You are on the south bank of the river in your canoe you need to reach the north bank you know that you can row your canoe at 2

Anna71 [15]

Answer:

(θ) = 60°

Explanation:

Given:

Speed of canoe Vc = 2 m/s

Speed of River Vr = 1 m/s

Computation:

Vc (Cosθ) = Vr

2 (Cosθ) = 1

(Cosθ) = 1 / 2

(Cosθ) = (Cos60)

(θ) = 60°

A projectile is shot directly away from Earth's surface. Neglect the rotation of the Earth. What multiple of Earth's radius RE g

7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

(a) r = 1.062·R $_E$ = $\frac{531}{500} R_E$

(b) r = $\frac{33}{25} R_E$

(c) Zero

Explanation:

Here we have escape velocity v $_e$ given by

$v_e =\sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R_E} }$ and the maximum height given by

$\frac{1}{2} v^2-\frac{GM}{R_E} = -\frac{GM}{r}$

Therefore, when the initial speed is 0.241v $_e$ we have

v = $0.241\times \sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R_E} }$ so that;

v² = $0.058081\times {\frac{2GM}{R_E} }$

v² = ${\frac{0.116162\times GM}{R_E} }$

$\frac{1}{2} v^2-\frac{GM}{R_E} = -\frac{GM}{r}$ is then

$\frac{1}{2} {\frac{0.116162\times GM}{R_E} }-\frac{GM}{R_E} = -\frac{GM}{r}$

Which gives

$-\frac{0.941919}{R_E} = -\frac{1}{r}$ or

r = 1.062·R $_E$

(b) Here we have

$K_i = 0.241\times \frac{1}{2} \times m \times v_e^2 = 0.241\times \frac{1}{2} \times m \times \frac{2GM}{R_E} = \frac{0.241mGM}{R_E}$

Therefore we put $\frac{0.241GM}{R_E}$ in the maximum height equation to get

$\frac{0.241}{R_E} -\frac{1}{R_E} =-\frac{1}{r}$

From which we get

r = 1.32·R $_E$

(c) The we have the least initial mechanical energy, ME given by

ME = KE - PE

Where the KE = PE required to leave the earth we have

ME = KE - KE = 0

The least initial mechanical energy to leave the earth is zero.

Martin has severe myopia, with a far point on only 17 cm. He wants to get glasses that he'll wear while using his computer whose

marusya05 [52]

Answer:

Explanation:

Far point = 17 cm . That means he can not see beyond this distance .

He wants to see at an object at 65 cm away . That means object placed at 65 has image at 17 cm by concave lens . Using lens formula

1 / v - 1 / u = 1 / f

1 / - 17 - 1 / - 65 = 1 / f

= 1 / 65 - 1 / 17

= - .0434 = 1 / f

power = - 100 / f

= - 100 x .0434

= - 4.34 D .

Why were the rings of Uranus not observed directly from telescopes on the ground on Earth? How were they discovered?

leonid [27]

Answer:Explained below.

Explanation:

Uranus rings is made up of jet black, coal-like particles in small bands, making them difficult to perceive from Earth.This indicates that they are probably composed of a mixture of the ice and a dark material. The nature of material is dismal, but it might be some organic compounds greatly darkened by the charged particle irradiation from the Uranian magnetosphere. Rings were discovered by using a infrared telescope throughout the occultation of a star as Uranus passed in front of it. The light from the star dimmed many times before it was obstructed by the disk of Uranus and subsequently, showing the presence of various distinct rings.
