Pluto was discovered by the astronomer Clyde Tombaugh in February 1930. It was given the status of the ninth planet of the solar system.
As telescopes, particularly in on satellites, improved, more objects were discovered which caused a problem that they were quite small and some astronomers didn't think they qualified as being planets.
The International Astronomical Union (IAU) had a vote which was very close. They defined three criteria which a planet must satisfy.
It must be large enough for gravity to overcome structures of materials and make it spherical. Most bodies are flattened spheroids due to rotation.
It must orbit the Sun.
It must have cleared its orbit of other bodies other than moons.
The IAU created a new definition of an object called a dwarf planet which only satisfies the first two criteria. Pluto fails the third criterion, so it was demoted to a dwarf planet.
Many people, including myself, still consider Pluto to be the ninth planet.
To be pedantic, Jupiter has a lot of asteroids in its orbit at its two Lagrange points. They are called trojan asteroids. So, this means that Jupiter fails the IAU's third criterion and should be a dwarf planet, which it is certainly not!
Answer:
energy : the ability to cause change
work : is force x distance or when an object moves a distance due to a specific force (measured in units of newtons-meters)
potential energy : is stored energy
kinetic energy : is energy in motion
mechanicle energy : the energy of motion such as a moving vechile
thermal energy : total kinetic energy in moving partsticles, like in boiling water (energy of heat)
chemical : energy stored in chemical bonds, like in plants
electromagnetic : waves with electric and magnetic properties , such as light
nuclear energy : energy stored in the nuclear atoms

Answer:
<h2>C. <u>
0.55 m/s towards the right</u></h2>
Explanation:
Using the conservation of law of momentum which states that the sum of momentum of bodies before collision is equal to the sum of the bodies after collision.
Momentum = Mass (M) * Velocity(V)
BEFORE COLLISION
Momentum of 0.25kg body moving at 1.0m/s = 0.25*1 = 0.25kgm/s
Momentum of 0.15kg body moving at 0.0m/s(body at rest) = 0kgm/s
AFTER COLLISION
Momentum of 0.25kg body moving at x m/s = 0.25* x= 0.25x kgm/s
<u>x is the final velocity of the 0.25kg ball</u>
Momentum of 0.15kg body moving at 0.75m/s(body at rest) =
0.15 * 0.75kgm/s = 0.1125 kgm/s
Using the law of conservation of momentum;
0.25+0 = 0.25x + 0.1125
0.25x = 0.25-0.1125
0.25x = 0.1375
x = 0.1375/0.25
x = 0.55m/s
Since the 0.15 kg ball moves off to the right after collision, the 0.25 kg ball will move at <u>0.55 m/s towards the right</u>
<u></u>
