Why isn't pluto considered a planet anymore?

Physics
1 answer:
aivan3 [116]3 years ago
3 0

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'

1. What is the kinetic energy of a 1.75 kg ball travelling at a speed of 54 m/s?
Over [174]

Answer:

We conclude that the kinetic energy of a 1.75 kg ball traveling at a speed of 54 m/s is 2551.5 J.

Explanation:

Given

  • Mass m = 1.75 kg
  • Velocity v = 54 m/s

To determine

Kinetic Energy (K.E) = ?

We know that a body can possess energy due to its movement — Kinetic Energy.

Kinetic Energy (K.E) can be determined using the formula

K.E=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where

  • m is the mass (kg)
  • v is the velocity (m/s)
  • K.E is the Kinetic Energy (J)

now substituting m = 1.75, and v = 54 in the formula

K.E=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

K.E=\frac{1}{2}\left(1.75\right)\left(54\right)^2

K.E=1458\times 1.75

K.E=2551.5 J

Therefore, the kinetic energy of a 1.75 kg ball traveling at a speed of 54 m/s is 2551.5 J.

What happens when the voltage increases and the resistance stays the same in a electrical circuit?
Orlov [11]

Answer:

The current in the circuit increases

Explanation:

The ohm's law states that the potential across a circuit is proportional to the current in the circuit.

                                             V ∝ I

Where 'V' is the potential difference across the circuit and 'I' is the current in the circuit.

The proportionality constant present in the equation is the resistance of the circuit. Hence, the equation becomes

                                             V = IR

According to the equation, when V is directly proportional to 'I' where 'R' remains as constant, then the change in 'V is brings change in 'I' to make the equation valid.

So, when there is an increase in the voltage, the current on the circuit increases.

The 3.00 kg cube in fig. 15-47 has edge lengths d 6.00 cm and is mounted on an axle through its center. a spring (k 1200 n/m con
ira [324]

The Period of the resulting shm will be T=39.7

<u>Explanation:</u>

<u>Given data</u>

m=3kg

d=.06m

k=1200 N/m

Θ=3 °

T=?

we have the formulas,

I = (1/6)Md2

F = ma

F = -kx = -(mω2x)

k = mω2 τ = -d(FgsinΘ)

T=2 x 3.14/ √(m/k)

Solution for the given problem would be,

F=-Kx (where x= dsin Θ)

F=-k dsin Θ

F=-(1200)(.06)sin(3 °)

F=-10.16N

<u>By newton's second law.</u>

F = ma

a= F/m

a=(-10.16N)/3

a=3.38

<u>using the k=mω value</u>

k=mω

ω=k/m

ω=1200/3

ω=400

<u>Using F = -kx value</u>

x = F/-k

x=(-10.16)/1200

x=0.00847m

<u>Restoring the  torque value </u>

τ = -dmgsinΘ    where( τ = Iα so.).. Iα = -dmgsinΘ α = -(.06)(4)α =

α =(.06)(4)(9.81)sin(4°)

α=-1.781

<u>Rotational to linear form</u>

a = αr  

r = .1131 m

a=-1.781 x .1131 m

a=-0.2015233664

<u>Time Period</u>

T=2 x 3.14/ √(m/k)

T=6.28/√(3/1200)

T=6.28/0.158

T=39.7

A crane motor exerts 3,500.0 W to lift a load up 5 floors in 25.0 seconds. The crane did how much J of work.
sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

87,500 J

Explanation:

Power = energy / time

3,500.0 W = E / 25.0 s

E = 87,500 J
