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.

A ball is launched from ground level and hits the ground again after an elapsed time of 4 seconds and after traveling a horizont
jeka94

Answer:

1)a. It is constant the whole time the ball is in free-fall.

2)b. = 14 m/s

3) e. = 19.6 m/s

Explanation:

1) given that the only force acting on the ball is gravity, gravity acts along the vertical axis. Since no other force acts on the ball then the horizontal velocity will remain constant all through the flight since there is no horizontal force acting on the ball.

2) speed = distance/time

horizontal distance = 56m

Time = 4 seconds

Speed = 56m/4s = 14m/s

3) acceleration due to gravity g = 9.8m/s^2

Initial vertical velocity = u

Final vertical velocity = v = -u

Using the law of motion;

v = u + at

a = acceleration = -g = -9.8m/s^2

t = time of flight = 4

Substituting the values;

-u = u - 4(9.8)

-2u = -4(9.8)

u = -4(9.8)/-2

u = 2(9.8) = 19.6 m/s

Initial vertical velocity = u = 19.6 m/s
