How much bigger is the diameter of the earth compared to pluto?

Physics
1 answer:
Allisa [31]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

5.36 times bigger

Explanation:

The radius of the Earth is:

r_e = 6371 km

so its diameter is

d_e = 2 r_2 = 12742 km

The radius of Pluto is:

r_p = 1188 km

So its diameter is

d_p = 2 r_p = 2376 km

So the ratio between the two diameters is

\frac{d_e}{d_p}=\frac{12742 km}{2376 km}=5.36

So the diameter of the Earth is 5.36 times bigger than the diameter of Pluto.

Answer:

(a). The initial velocity is 28.58m/s

(b). The speed when touching the ground is 33.3m/s.

Explanation:

The equations governing the position of the projectile are

(1).\: x =v_0t

(2).\: y= 15m-\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2

where v_0 is the initial velocity.

(a).

When the projectile hits the 50m mark, y=0; therefore,

0=15-\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2

solving for t we get:

t= 1.75s.

Thus, the projectile must hit the 50m mark in 1.75s, and this condition demands from equation (1) that

50m = v_0(1.75s)

which gives

\boxed{v_0 = 28.58m/s.}

(b).

The horizontal velocity remains unchanged just before the projectile touches the ground because gravity acts only along the vertical direction; therefore,

v_x = 28.58m/s.

the vertical component of the velocity is

v_y = gt \\v_y = (9.8m/s^2)(1.75s)\\\\{v_y = 17.15m/s.

which gives a speed v of

v = \sqrt{v_x^2+v_y^2}

\boxed{v =33.3m/s.}

Which of the following is NOT a property of long-period comets that suggests that they originate from the Oort cloud?
Lesechka [4]

Answer:

b. They orbit around the Sun in a counterclockwise direction, when viewed from above the ecliptic plane.

Explanation:

All the objects of the solar system revolve around the Sun in a counterclockwise direction. The comet coming from the Oort's cloud will also follow the same kind of orbit. That is why it can't be a property to distinguish an Oort's cloud comet.

All other properties are correct to identify an Oort's cloud comet as the Oort's cloud is a considered a spherical cloud just outside the Solar system.
