How was Pluto discovered? Why did it take so long to find it?

Physics
1 answer:
nexus9112 [7]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

1. Astronomers noticed that the orbits of Neptune and Uranus were being affected by the gravity of an unknown object in the Solar System. Clyde Tombaugh carefully studied images of the night sky, and after a lot of hard work he finally discovered Pluto.

2. Well, Pluto was most likely difficult to find, because of its small size and great distance from Earth.

A car traveling at 21 m/s starts to decelerate steadily. It comes to a complete stop in 13 seconds. What is its acceleration?
diamong [38]

The formula for acceleration is the velocity times the inverse of time so it would be 21 times 1/13. So roughly 0.0769... is the acceleration(m/s^2).

A wooden block contains some nails so that its density is exactly equal to that of water. If it is placed in a tank of water and
belka [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is:

a) remain where it is released

Explanation:

The concept of density seeks to measure the weight of an object in relation to its size. It is the measure of how packed together the particles of that object are. An object placed in a liquid displaces a certain volume of the liquid, based on the relative density of the object and the liquid.

If an object is less dense than a liquid in which it is placed, it displaces a smaller volume of the liquid than its volume, hence only some part of the object will be seen to be under the liquid, the other part will float.

If an object is denser than the liquid in which it is placed, it displaces a larger volume of the liquid than its own volume, making the object to sink and is submerged, sometimes to the bottom of the liquid, but mostly below the point at which it was released.

Finally, if the density of an object and the liquid into which it is submerged is the same. the object's mass per unit volume is the same as the liquid's mass per unit volume, hence the weight and force created due to density will balance and cancel each other out hence making the object to remain where it was submerged.

Which of the following is true of education in 1950
Maksim231197 [3]
Information I learned from history class Education in the 1950's expanded from previous decades. They no longer focused purely on reading, writing and arithmetic. History and science became a main part of the cirriculum. Also, enrollment skyrocketed as the baby-boomers began enrolling in elementary school. One interesting thing that categorized this generation was the presence of fallout tests. Schools would require the students to go through a fake atomic bomb attack in which they would hide under their desks (which was completely pointless in protecting them from radiation, it was more of an emotional security for the parents and teachers, but scared the hell out of the students). Socially, children were taught to conform and to be normal. Standing out or questioning authority was bad. Sex was taught, though minimally. They explained the penis and vagina. Sexually transmitted diseases were focused on greatly so as to "scare" the students out of premarital sex.

The electron gun in an old TV picture tube accelerates electrons between two parallel plates 1.4cm apart with a 28kV potential d
yulyashka [42]

Answer:

a)   F = 3.2 10⁻¹⁰ N , b)       v = 9.9 10⁷ m / s

Explanation:

a) The electric force is

       F = q E

The electric field is related to the potential reference

     V = E d

     E = V / d

Let's replace

    F = e V / d

Let's calculate

    F = 1.6 10⁻¹⁹ 28 10³ / 1.4 10⁻²

    F = 3.2 10⁻¹⁰ N

b) For this part we can use kinematics

          v² = v₀ + 2 a d

          v = √ 2 ad

Acceleration can be found with Newton's second law

        e V / d = m a

        a = e / m V / d

        a = 1.6 10⁻¹⁹ / 9.1 10⁻³¹ 28 10³ / 1.4 10⁻²

        a = 3,516 10⁻¹⁷ m / s²

Let's calculate the speed

       v = √ (2 3,516 10¹⁷ 1.4 10⁻²)

       v = √ (98,448 10¹⁴)

       v = 9.9 10⁷ m / s

When a cannon is fired, how does the size of the force of the cannon on the cannonball compared with the force of the cannonball
kati45 [8]
The force applied to the cannonball and cannon is equal. The explosion inside the cannon will generate a pressure which will turn into a force on both cannonball and cannon. The cannon being heavier and fixed to the ground will move a bit, but the cannonball will be thrown away, fired.
