Explain why Pluto has been re-categorized as a dwarf planet.

Physics
1 answer:
chubhunter [2.5K]3 years ago
7 0

Explanation:

According to International Astronomical union a planet must satisfy the following three conditions-

1. It should orbit around sun(parent star).

2. It should have enough gravity to maintain almost spherical shape.

3. It should have cleared its neighbourhood around its orbit.

Pluto does not fulfill the third criteria and hence it has been re-categorized as dwarf planet.

Why does refracting light bend when it enters a denser or less dense medium?
Rzqust [24]

Answer: The light bends because light travels fast but it slows down in a denser medium. For example light refracts in water or it bends after passing through air. When light passes through air ( a less dense medium ) then through water ( a more dense medium ) the beam of light bends because light travels more slowly in a denser medium then it picks up its pace again once it passes. The density of the substance determines how much the light is refracted. I hope this makes sense and I hope this answered your question!! :)

WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST AND 50 POINTS!
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

1) Current decreases; 2) Inverse proportionally; 3) 1[A]

Explanation:

1)

As we can see as the resistance increases the current decreases, if we take two points as an example, when the resistance is equal to 50 [ohms] the current is equal to 1[amp] and when the resistance is equal to 200 [ohms] the current tends to have a value below 0.5 [amp]. Thus demonstrating the decrease in current.

2)

Inverse proportionally, by definition we know that the law of ohm determines the voltage according to resistance and amperage. This is the voltage will be equal to the product of the voltage by the resistance.

V=I*R\\V = voltage [volts]\\I = current[amp]\\R = resistance [ohms]

where:

R =\frac{V}{I} \\or\\I=\frac{V}{R}

And whenever we have in a fractional number the denominator the variable we are interested in, we can say that this is inversely proportional to the value we are interested in determining. In this case, we can see from the two previous expressions that both the current and the resistance appear in the denominator, therefore they are inversely proportional to each other.

3)

If we place ourselves on the graph on the resistance axis, we see that at 50 [ohm] will correspond a current value equal to 1 [A].

1.A river flowing steadily at a rate of 240 m3/s is considered for hydroelectric power generation. It is determined that a dam c
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

the power that can be generated by the river is 117.6 MW

Explanation:

Given that;

Volume flow rate of river v = 240 m³/s

Height above the lake surface a h = 50 m

Amount of power can be generated from this river water after the dam is filled = ?

Now the collected water in the dam contains potential energy which is used for the power generation,

hence, total mechanical energy is due to potential energy alone.

E_{mech} = m(gh)

first we determine the mass flow rate of the fluid m

m = p×v

where p is density ( 1000 kg/m³

so we substitute

m = 1000kg/m³ × 240 m³/s

m = 240000 kg/s

so we plug in our values into ( E_{mech} = m(gh) kJ/kg )

E_{mech} = 240000 × 9.8 × 50

E_{mech} = 117600000 W

E_{mech} = 117.6 MW

Therefore, the power that can be generated by the river is 117.6 MW

Cierto volumen de gas se encuentra a 60°c de temperatura y 5atm de presión, es calentado hasta 140°c, estado en el cual ocupa un
earnstyle [38]

Answer:

V1 = 2221.33 L

Explanation:

The system is about a ideal gas. Then you can use the equation for ideal gases for a volume V1, temperature T1 and pressure P1:

P_1V_1=nRT_1   (1)

And also for the situation in which the variables T, V and P has changed:

P_2V_2=nRT_2   (1)

R: constant of ideal gases = 0.082 L.atm/mol.K

For both cases (1) and (2) the number of moles are the same. Next, you solve for n in (1) and (2):

n=\frac{P_1V_1}{RT_1}\\\\n=\frac{P_2V_2}{RT_2}

Next, you equal these equations an solve for T2:

\frac{P_1V_1}{RT_1}=\frac{P_2V_2}{RT_2}\\\\V_1=\frac{P_2V_2T_1}{P_1T_2}

Finally you replace the values of P2, V2, T1 and T2:

V_1=\frac{(7atm)(680L)(140\°C)}{(60\°C)(5atm)}=2221.33\ L

Hence, the initial volume of the gas is 2221.33 L
