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.

The figure shows the motion of electrons in a wire which is near the North pole of a magnet. The wire will be pushed:
zhuklara [117]

Answer:

D. upwards

Explanation:

The electron moves in the direction opposite to the current (by definition)

Since the field is out of the N pole the electron will be deflected DOWNWARD

If the direction is reversed then it will be deflected UPWARD

Answer:

Thermal Power = 460W

Explanation:

From Stephan-Boltzmann Law Formula;

P = єσT⁴A

Where,

P = Radiation energy

σ = Stefan-Boltzmann Constant

T = absolute temperature in Kelvin

є = Emissivity of the material.

A=Area of the emitting body

Now, σ = 5.67 x 10^(-8)

є = 0.6

Temperature = 30°C and coverting to kelvin = 30 + 273 = 303K

Area ; since we are to consider the sides of the human body as 2m and 0.8m,thus area = 2 x 0.8 = 1.6

Thus thermal power = 0.6 x 5.67 x 10^(-8) x303⁴ x 1.6 = 458. 8W

Normally, we approximate to the nearest 10W. Thus, thermal power is approximately 460W
