Pluto has a shape that is nearly round, and it orbits the Sun. It has five known moons. It is called a dwarf planet and not a planet because its orbit is not cleared of like-sized or larger objects

Answer: Option B

<u>Explanation:</u>

According to the International Astronomical Union (IAU), Pluto has been mentioned as Dwarf Planet as it doesn't hold the standardisation to be counted as a Planet.

According to the standard criteria, a planet must have been surrounded by the orbit of the Sun, it must have significant mass to have a gravitational pull and hence, circular shape, and should have isolated surrounding.

But, Pluto has various celestial bodies in its vicinity that are larger in size. Hence, as concluded by the Union, any celestial body that does not has clear surrounding, is regarded as Dwarf Planet just like Pluto.

How much heat is needed to melt 13.74 kg of silver that is initially at 20°C?
salantis [7]

Answer:

Q = 4.63 \times 10^6 J

Explanation:

As we know that melting point of silver is

T = 961.8 degree C

Latent heat of fusion of silver is given as

L = 111 kJ/kg

specific heat capacity of silver is given as

s = 240 J/kg C

now we will have

Q = ms\Delta T + mL

\Delta T = 961.8 - 20

\Delta T = 941.8 degree C

now from above equation

Q = (13.74)(240)(941.8) + (13.74)(111 \times 10^3)

Q = 3.1 \times 10^6 + 1.53 \times 10^6

Q = 4.63 \times 10^6 J

Assuming motion is on a straight path, what would result in two positive components of a vector?
erastovalidia [21]
Assuming motion is on a straight path, the result of two positive components of a vector would also be a positive value since both are having positive signs and directions. The direction would be the same with the motion as well. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.

Which items are matter?
Mumz [18]
Without being provided a list of items, I would have to generally say that everything around you is matter. There are a few exceptions to this list, but a general rule of thumb is anything you can touch, taste, smell or hold would be considered matter. Sound, light, time (Dr. Who may disagree) and heat would be considered non-matter items.
