The existence of the dwarf planet Pluto was proposed based on irregularities in Neptune's orbit. Pluto was subsequently discover

ed near its predicted position. But it now appears that the discovery was fortuitous, since Pluto is small and the irregularities in Neptune's orbit were not well known. Answer the following to illustrate that Pluto has a minor effect on the orbit of Neptune compared with other planets. (a) Calculate the acceleration of gravity at Neptune due to Pluto when they are 3.2 1012 m apart. The mass of Pluto is 1.3 1022 kg. g1 = m/s2 (b) Calculate the acceleration of gravity at Neptune due to Uranus, when they are 3.2 1012 m apart. The mass of Uranus is 8.68 1025 kg. g2 = m/s2 (c) Give the ratio of this acceleration to that due to Pluto. g2 g1 =

Answer:

a) g1 = 8.467 10⁻¹⁴ m / s² , b)  g2 = 5.65 10⁻¹⁰ m / s² , c) g2 / g1 = 6.6 10³

Explanation:

a) for this we will use Newton's second law where force is the force of universal gravitation

         F = m a

        G m M / r² = m a

        a = g = G M / r²

By the effect of Pluto

        g1 = 6.67 10⁻¹¹  1.3 10²² / (3.2 10¹²)²

        g1 = 8.467 10⁻¹⁴ m / s²

b) By the effect of Uranus

        g2 = 6.67 10⁻¹¹ 8.68 10²⁵ / (3.2 10¹²)²

        g2 = 5.65 10⁻¹⁰ m / s²

c) the relationship between these accelerations

        g2 / g1 = 5.65 10⁻¹⁰ / 8.47 10⁻¹⁴

        g2 / g1 = 0.66 10⁴

        g2 / g1 = 6.6 10³

What is the answer to this question
scoundrel [369]

Answer: A

Explanation:

Molecules speed up as heat is added

For example when water is heated as the water gets hotter the molecules speed up causing the water to boil and change phases into a gas (this is called evaporation)

In an ice cube the water molecules are frozen (barely moving compressed tight together) as the ice cube heats up the molecules start speeding up and moving further apart as the ice cube turns into liquid form. So as heat is added molecules speed up, move faster and spread further apart

You have a mass of 60-kg, and you are facing your friend who has a mass of 100 kg. You skate towards
White raven [17]

Answer: My initial velocity is 5 m/s.

Explanation:

In this case, momentum can be conserved.

initial momentum = final momentum

Since both the bodies come to rest after collision,

Final momentum = 0

Let my velocity be v, and mass, m1 = 60 kg

Friend's mass, m2 = 100 kg

Friend's velocity, v2 = 3 m/s

Intial momentum = m1v + m2v2

= 60v + 300

Conserving momentum,

60v + 300 = 0

v= -5 m/s

( Negative sign indicates that me and my friend are moving in opposite directions that is towards each other)

What is the formula for calculating mechanical power​
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

Because work can be defined as force time distance, we can also use the following equation

Solution

P=power (w or ft-lbf/s)

F=force (N or lbf)

D=distance (m or ft)

T=time (sec)

One horsepower is equivalent to 550 ft-lbf/s and 745.7 watts.
