The answer is. It did not meet the three criteria the IAU uses to define a full-sized planet.

1. It is in orbit around the Sun

2. It has sufficient mass to assume hydrostatic equilibrium

3. It has 'cleared the neighborhood' around its orbit

Pluto has not 'cleared its neighborhood'

Manipulate p+x=r to solve for x

Tanzania [10]

X=r-p. Maybe I don't understand, but I am assuming that you need to isolate for X? you simply subtract p from both sides.

Claudia throws a baseball to her dog. Which free-body diagram shows the

chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

only the weight of the ball will act on the ball

Explanation: There is no contact force on the ball. Also there is no air resistance on the ball so the friction force on the ball due to air is not shown

Needddd helppppppp!!!

yulyashka [42]

Answer:

2/9 times as strong.

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following assumptions were made:

Initial mass of 1st planet (M₁ ) = M

Initial mass of 2nd planet (m₁ ) = m

Initial distance apart (r₁) = r

Initial Force of attraction (F₁) = F

Final mass of 1st planet (M₂) = 2M

Final mass of 1st planet (m₂) = constant = m

Final distance apart (r₂) = 3r

Final force of attraction (F₂) =?

Next, we shall obtain an expression to determine the new force. This can be obtained as follow:

F = GMm / r²

Cross multiply

Fr² = GMm

Divide both side by Mn

G = Fr² / Mm

Since G is constant, then we have

F₁r₁² / M₁m₁ = F₂r₂² / M₂m₂

Finally, we shall determine the new force as follow:

Initial mass of 1st planet (M₁ ) = M

Initial mass of 2nd planet (m₁ ) = m

Initial distance apart (r₁) = r

Initial Force of attraction (F₁) = F

Final mass of 1st planet (M₂) = 2M

Final mass of 1st planet (m₂) = constant = m

Final distance apart (r₂) = 3r

Final force of attraction (F₂) =?

F₁r₁² / M₁m₁ = F₂r₂² / M₂m₂

Fr² / Mm = F₂ × (3r)² / 2M × m

Fr² / Mm = F₂ × 9r² / 2Mm

Cross multiply

Fr² × 2Mm = F₂ × 9r² × Mm

Divide both side by 9r² × Mm

F₂ = Fr² × 2Mm / 9r² × Mm

F₂ = F × 2 / 9

F₂ = 2/9 F

Thus, the new force is 2/9 times the original force i.e 2/9 times as strong.

What is the motion of the object?

aleksley [76]

Answer:

Thus, the object is accelerating to the left

Explanation:

The Net Force

The net force is the result of adding all the forces as vectors acting on a body.

$\vec F=\vec F_1+\vec F_2+...+\vec F_n$

Each vector can be expressed in its rectangular components Fx and Fy, and the sum is the sum of the rectangular components separately.

Second Newton's law gives the relation between the net force and the acceleration of the body:

$\vec F = m.\vec a$

We can see the acceleration is a vector with the same direction as the net force.

The diagram shows two vertical forces and two horizontal forces.

The vertical forces are acting in opposite directions and with the same magnitude, thus they cancel out, leaving zero net force in the y-axis.

The horizontal forces are opposite and with different magnitudes. Since the force acting to the left (F3) has a greater magnitude than the force acting to the right (F4), there is a net force directed to the left with a magnitude of 60 N - 20 N = 40 N

Thus, the object is accelerating to the left

Of the following, which is the best reason for why a woman's risk for cardiovascular disease increases after menopause?

MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

The best reason for the increased risk of cardiovascular diseases in women after menopause is the significant decrease in the levels of Estrogen in the body.

Detailed answer:

Due to the approach of menopause the estrogen levels in the blood decrease drastically.
Estrogen helps in relaxing the vessels and keeping them in their natural diameter.
But due to a drastic decrease in its level due to menopause, there is a high chance of cholesterol building up on the walls of the artery in the heart, which can cause many cardiovascular diseases.
