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.

A weight suspended from a spring is seen to bob up and down over a total distance of 20 centimeters twice each second.
Zielflug [23.3K]

<u>Answer</u>

8. 2 Hz

9. 0.5 seconds

10. 20 cm


<u>Explanation</u>

<u>Q 8</u>

Frequency is the number of oscillation in a unit time. It is the rate at which something repeats itself in a second.

In this case, the spring bob up and down 2 times per second.

∴ Frequency = 2 Hz

<u>Q 9</u>

Period is the time taken to complete one oscillation.

2 oscillations takes 1 second

1 oscillation = 1/2 seconds.

∴ Period = 0.5 seconds


<u>Q 10</u>

Amplitude is the the maximum displacement of the spring.

In this case the spring bob up 20 cm. This is it's displacement.

∴ Amplitude = 20 cm

Summarize the Venn diagram.
Elena L [17]

Answer:

If this is a multiple choice question, then the answer is D.

Explanation:

Compounds are composed of atoms, which are composed of subatomic particles and consist of matter. Since they are composed of atoms rather than vice-versa, compounds cannot be found inside atoms and are not the most basic form of matter (ruling out A and C). A pure substance contains atoms, which are each composed of subatomic particles. Therefore, a pure substance must have atoms if it contains subatomic particles (ruling out B). The only answer left is D.

If a substance is changing from a vapor to a liquid, like steam on a mirror, it is said to be _______.
NARA [144]

Answer:

condensing

Explanation:

Condensing is the word used to indicate the change of state of a substance from vapor to liquid, as in this case. During condensation, the substance releases thermal energy to the environment, therefore the kinetic energy of the molecules in the vapor decreases until they become closer to each other and they start to be affected by the intermolecular forces and so the substance becomes a liquid.

Prove(show) ''T=2π√(l/g)''​
Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

Time period for Simple pendulum, T=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{l}{g}

Explanation:

The Simple Pendulum

Consider a small bob of mass m is tied to extensible string of length l that is fixed to rigid support. The bob is oscillating in the plane about verticle.

       Let \theta is the angle made by string with vertical  during oscillation.

Vertical component of the force on bob, F=-mg\sin\theta

Negative sign shows that its opposing the motion of bob.

Taking \theta as very small angle then, \sin\theta\sim\theta

F=-mg\theta    

Let x is the displacement made by bob from its mean position ,

then, \theta=\frac{x}{l}

so, F=-mg\frac{x}{l}                ........(1)

Since, pendulum is in hormonic motion,

as we know, F=-kx

where k is the constant and k=m\omega^{2}

F=-m\omega^2x                   .........(2)

From equation (1) and (2)

-m\omega^2x=-mg\frac{x}{l}

\omega=\sqrt{\frac{g}{l}}

Since, \omega=\frac{2\pi}{T}

\frac{2\pi}{T}=\sqrt{\frac{g}{l}

T=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{l}{g}}
