Why does the number of dwarf planets recognized by astronomers in the solar system sometimes increase?

1 answer:

4 0

Because sometimes it happens that they discover a dwarf planet
that nobody ever knew about before. When that happens, they
ADD the new one to the list of known dwarf planets, and then the
total number of dwarf planets on the list increases by 1 .

A charge of 4.5 × 10-5 C is placed in an electric field with a strength of 2.0 × 104 . If the charge is 0.030 m from the source

snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

The electrical potential energy is 0.027 Joules.

Explanation:

The values from the question are

charge (q) = $4.5 \times 10^{-5} C$

Electric Field strength (E) = $2.0 \times 10^{4} N/C$

Distance from source (d) = 0.030 m

Now the formula for the electrical potential energy (U) is given by

$U = q \times E \times d$

So now insert the values to find the answer

$U = 4.5 \times 10^{-5} C \times 2.0 \times 10^{4} N/C \times 0.030 m$

On further solving

$U = 0.027 J$

Answer:

Option C. 5,000 kg m/s

Explanation:

<u>Linear Momentum on a System of Particles </u>

Is defined as the sum of the momenta of each particles in a determined moment. The individual momentum is the product of the mass of the particle by its speed

P=mv

The question refers to an 100 kg object traveling at 50 m/s who collides with another object of 50 kg object initially at rest. We compute the moments of each object

$m_1=(100\ kg)(50\ m/s)=5,000\ kg\ m/s$
