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 is global warming related to climate change
tiny-mole [99]
Global warming is just one aspect of climate change. “Global warming” refers to the rise in global temperatures due mainly to the increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. “Climate change” refers to the increasing changes in the measures of climate over a long period of time – including precipitation, temperature, and wind patterns.

The coordinates of a bird flying in the xy plane are given by x(t)=αt and y(t)=3.0m−βt2, where α=2.4m/s and β=1.2m/s2. Calculate
yuradex [85]
     The derivative of the function space as a function of time is equal to a function of speed as a function of time.

x(t)=2.4t \\  \frac{x(t)}{t}=t \\ v_{x}(t)=t \\  \\ y(t)=3-1.2\times t^2 \\  \frac{y(t)}{t}=1.2\times2t \\ v_{y}(t)=2.4t
   
     The velocity vector is given by the vector sum of the velocities of  both axes.

v_{R}^2(t)=v_{x}^2(t)+v_{y}^2(t) \\ v_{R}^2(t)=(t)^2+(2.4t)^2 \\ \boxed {v_R(t)=2.6t}

A 2000 kg car experiences a constant braking force
Marat540 [252]
In that case, there are three possible scenarios:

-- If the braking force is less than the force delivered by the engine,
then the car will continue to accelerate, and the brakes will eventually
overheat and erupt in flame.

-- If the braking force is exactly equal to the force delivered by the engine,
then the car will continue moving at a constant speed, and the brakes will
eventually overheat and erupt in flame.

-- If the braking force is greater than the force delivered by the engine,
then the car will slow down and eventually stop.  If it stops soon enough,
then the absorption of kinetic energy by the brakes will end before the
brakes overheat and erupt in flame.  Even if the engine is still delivering
force, the brakes can be kept locked in order to keep the car stopped ...
They do not absorb and dissipate any energy when the car is motionless.
