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.

If a substance can be separated by physical means and it is not the same throughout, what is it?
TEA [102]

Answer:

Option (B)

Explanation:

A heterogeneous mixture is usually defined as a combination of two or more chemical substances. It can be also elements as well as compounds. These contrasting components can be easily separated from one another by means of physical process. These are comprised of substances that are not even everywhere. There is variation in it.

Thus, the correct answer is option (B).

A horizontal force of magnitude 31.3 N pushes a block of mass 4.30 kg across a floor where the coefficient of kinetic friction i
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

W_{F} =  +119.6 J : Work done by horizontal force

W_{Ff} =  -96.42 J : Work done by friction force

W_{n} =   23.18 J :  Net work

Explanation:

Work theory

Work is the product of a force applied to a body and the displacement of the body in the direction of this force.

Thus. The work is equal to the product of the force by the distance (d) and by the cosine of the angle ( α) that exists between the direction of the force (F) and the direction that travels the point or the object that moves:

W= F*d*cosα Formula (1)

The work is positive (W+) if the force goes in the same direction of movement.

The work is negative (W-)if the force goes in the opposite direction to the movement

Net work  (Wn)

Net work is defined as the sum of the work done from an initial place to an end point of the trajectory, for each of the individual forces to which the  system is subjected.

Problem development

We determine the forces that perform work:

in formula (1 )we observe that the forces that perform work are the forces parallel to displacement. that is α = 0.

For this case they are the horizontal force (F) and the frictional force (Ff)

F=31.3 N : Horizontal force

Ff=μk*N , μk:coefficient of kinetic friction  , N : Normal force

N=W  

W: block weight  W= m*g, m:  block mass , g: acceleration due to gravity

W= 4.30 kg* 9.8 m/s² = 42.14 N

Ff= 0.599*42.14 N= 25.24 N : Frictional force

Calculating of the Net work  (Wn)

W_{n} = W_{F} +W_{Ff}

W_{F} =   31.3N*3.82 m

W_{F} =  119.6 N*m

W_{F} =  +119.6 J

W_{Ff} =  -25.24N*3.82m

W_{Ff} =  -96.42 N* m

W_{Ff} =  -96.42 J

W_{n} = W_{F} +W_{Ff}

W_{n} = ( 119.6  -96.42) N*m

W_{n} =   23.18 N*m

W_{n} =   23.18 J
