Total these measurements. Your answer should indicate the proper accuracy. Be sure to include the units in your answer. (Remembe
vivado [14]

Answer:

10

Explanation:

This is tough. The last number  0.2 has only one significant figure. So while the sum of all the numbers is 12.3, you must only leave one sig figure. Rounding to the tenths gives 10.

An 89 kg man drops from rest on a diving board −3.1 m above the surface of the water and comes to rest 0.5 s after reaching the
OLga [1]

To solve this problem we will use the linear motion kinematic equations, for which the change of speed squared with the acceleration and the change of position. The acceleration in this case will be the same given by gravity, so our values would be given as,

m= 89 kg\\x = 3.1 m\\t = 0.5s\\a = g = 9.8m/s^2

Through the aforementioned formula we will have to

v_f^2-v_i^2 = 2ax

The particulate part of the rest, so the final speed would be

v_f^2 = 2gx

v_f=\sqrt{2(9.8)(3.1)}

v_f = 7.79m/s

Now from Newton's second law we know that

F = ma

Here,

m = mass

a = acceleration, which can also be written as a function of velocity and time, then

F = m\frac{dv}{dt}

Replacing we have that,

F = (89)\frac{7.79}{0.5}

F = 1386.62N

Therefore the force that the water exert on the man is 1386.62

Why is Pluto now called a dwarf planet
zvonat [6]
Before Pluto was discovered, it was predicted. Astronomers had observed that massive objects can affect the orbits of its neighbors, and, after seeing deviations in the orbits of Uranus and Neptune, assumed something substantial existed beyond their orbits.
When Pluto was spotted, it was thought to be the predicted object and was identified as a ninth planet.
A few decades later, astronomers started discovering more and more objects around other stars and didn’t know whether to call them planets or not. There appeared to be a need to define what a planet means, and that led to what some people consider Pluto’s demotion to a dwarf planet.
The International Astronomical Union decided that full-sized planets must orbit the sun, have a round shape, and have cleared their orbits of other objects. Pluto fulfills the first two criteria, but not the third.
It still goes around the sun, it’s round enough, it’s got moons, and behaves like a planet, but the idea is that Pluto did not form the same way as the rest of the planets. Pluto’s orbit is both eccentric and inclined more than the rest of the planets by about 17 degrees. That’s suggests something is different about this object.
This debate about whether to call it a planet or not is silly, because it doesn’t matter to Pluto what you call it. It is an interesting object, goes around the sun, and shows geology and an atmosphere.
There’s a tendency to define objects based on what they are now, but nothing is constant in the universe. There are some issues with the nomenclature, and a definition today may not apply to the same object tomorrow.

Definition of continental polar
kipiarov [429]

Answer:

Continental polar (cP) or continental arctic (cA) air masses are cold, dry, and stable. These air masses originate over northern Canada and Alaska as a result of radiational cooling. Maritime polar (mP) air masses are cool, moist, and unstable.
