List at least three major differences between Pluto and the terrestrial planets.

Physics
1 answer:
skad [1K]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

listed

Explanation:

The three major difference between Pluto and the other Terrestrial planets are

1. Pluto's orbit is far from being circular. Its orbit has highest eccentricity,meaning that its distance from sun varies more than any other planet of the solar system.

2. The ratio of the size of the planet to size of moon is highest for the for Pluto. its moon Cheron is quite large which is surprising as Pluto gravitational force is not much.

3.Pluto's orbit is the most tilted orbit of the solar system.

Alex73 [517]
<span>6160 joules

    to lift 1 newton 1 metre requires 1 joule
 there are 10 newtons in one kilo

    so 77(kg) x 8 (metres) x 10 (newtons/kilo) = 6160 joules</span>

What happens to an electromagnetic waves as it passes from space to matter
sertanlavr [38]

Interaction of Electromagnetic Radiation and Matter

It is well known that all matter is comprised of atoms. But subatomically, matter is made up of mostly empty space. For example, consider the hydrogen atom with its one proton, one neutron, and one electron. The diameter of a single proton has been measured to be about 10-15 meters. The diameter of a single hydrogen atom has been determined to be 10-10meters, therefore the ratio of the size of a hydrogen atom to the size of the proton is 100,000:1. Consider this in terms of something more easily pictured in your mind. If the nucleus of the atom could be enlarged to the size of a softball (about 10 cm), its electron would be approximately 10 kilometers away. Therefore, when electromagnetic waves pass through a material, they are primarily moving through free space, but may have a chance encounter with the nucleus or an electron of an atom.

Because the encounters of photons with atom particles are by chance, a given photon has a finite probability of passing completely through the medium it is traversing. The probability that a photon will pass completely through a medium depends on numerous factors including the photon’s energy and the medium’s composition and thickness. The more densely packed a medium’s atoms, the more likely the photon will encounter an atomic particle. <span>In other words, the more subatomic particles in a material (higher Z number), the greater the likelihood that interactions will occur  </span>Similarly, the more material a photon must cross through, the more likely the chance of an encounter.

When a photon does encounter an atomic particle, it transfers energy to the particle. The energy may be reemitted back the way it came (reflected), scattered in a different direction or transmitted forward into the material. Let us first consider the interaction of visible light. Reflection and transmission of light waves occur because the light waves transfer energy to the electrons of the material and cause them to vibrate. If the material is transparent, then the vibrations of the electrons are passed on to neighboring atoms through the bulk of the material and reemitted on the opposite side of the object. If the material is opaque, then the vibrations of the electrons are not passed from atom to atom through the bulk of the material, but rather the electrons vibrate for short periods of time and then reemit the energy as a reflected light wave. The light may be reemitted from the surface of the material at a different wavelength, thus changing its color.

<span>X-Rays and Gamma Rays
</span>X-rays and gamma rays also transfer their energy to matter though chance encounters with electrons and atomic nuclei. However, X-rays and gamma rays have enough energy to do more than just make the electrons vibrate. When these high energy rays encounter an atom, the result is an ejection of energetic electrons from the atom or the excitation of electrons. The term "excitation" is used to describe an interaction where electrons acquire energy from a passing charged particle but are not removed completely from their atom. Excited electrons may subsequently emit energy in the form of x-rays during the process of returning to a lower energy state.

A dentist’s drill starts from rest. After 3.20 s of constant angu-lar acceleration, it turns at a rate of 2.51 3 104 re v/m i n.
Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

ΔTita = 4205.6 rad

Explanation:

w_{i} means initial angular velocity, which is 0 rev/min

w_{f} means final angular velocity, which is 2.513*10^{4}rev/min

t means time t= 3.20 s

one revolution is equivalent to 2πrad so the final angular velocity is:

w_{f} = (2π/60) *2.513*10^{4} rad/s

w_{f}= 2628.5 rad/s

so the angular acceleration, α will be:

α = 2628.5 rad/s / 3.20 s

a = 821.40 rad/s^{2}

so the rotational motion about a fixed axis is:

w^{2} _{f} =w^{2} _{i} + 2αΔTita    where ΔTita is the angle in radians

so now find the ΔTita the subject of the formula

ΔTita = \frac{w^{2} _{f}-w^{2} _{i}  }{2a}

ΔTita = ((2628.5)^{2} - (0 rev/min)^{2}) / 2* 821.40

ΔTita = 4205.6 rad
