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'

average velocity is vector displacement / time

time is "almost exactly one hour"

The force of gravity on Jupiter is much stronger than the force of gravity on earth what is the answer?

Pachacha [2.7K]

This would be true. On Jupiter you would weigh 234 pounds if you were 100 pounds on Earth.

Two facing surfaces of two large parallel conducting plates separated by 8.5 cm have uniform surface charge densities such that

elena-s [515]

Answer:

positive plate

E = 5.764 KV / m

W = 490eV or 7.85 * 10^-17 J

E_p = 4.74 *10^(-12) eV

E_k = 490 eV

Explanation:

part a

The potential difference between two plates = 490 V

Distance between two plates = 8.5 cm

Answer: The positive plate is at higher potential because of convention.

part b

Electric Field between the plates

E = V / d

E = 490 / 0.085 = 5.764 KV / m

Answer: Electric Field between the plates E = 5.764 KV / m

part c

Work done by electric field

W = V*q

W = 490 * 1.602*10^-19

W = 7.85 * 10^-17 J

or W = 490 eV

Answer: Work done by electric field W = 490eV or 7.85 * 10^-17 J

part d

Potential Energy of an electron gained:

E_p = m_e * g * d / (1.602*10^-19)

E_p = 9.109*10^-31* 9.81 * 0.085 / (1.602*10^-19)

E_p = 4.74 *10^(-12) eV

Very very small E_p approximately 0

Answer: Potential Energy of an electron gained E_p = 4.74 *10^(-12) eV or 0.

part e

Kinetic Energy of an electron gained:

W - E_p = E_k

E_k = 490eV - 4.74*10^(-12)eV

E_k = 490 eV

Answer: Kinetic Energy of an electron gained E_k = 490 eV
