C. A cation as a cation is positively charged and when an atom loses an electron it forms a positive ion.
Pluto has a shape that is nearly round, and it orbits the Sun. It has five known moons. It is called a dwarf planet and not a planet because its orbit is not cleared of like-sized or larger objects
Answer: Option B
<u>Explanation:</u>
According to the International Astronomical Union (IAU), Pluto has been mentioned as Dwarf Planet as it doesn't hold the standardisation to be counted as a Planet.
According to the standard criteria, a planet must have been surrounded by the orbit of the Sun, it must have significant mass to have a gravitational pull and hence, circular shape, and should have isolated surrounding.
But, Pluto has various celestial bodies in its vicinity that are larger in size. Hence, as concluded by the Union, any celestial body that does not has clear surrounding, is regarded as Dwarf Planet just like Pluto.
Explanation:
It is given that,
Speed of the ball, v = 10 m/s
Initial position of ball above ground, h = 20 m
(a) Let H is the maximum height reached by the ball. It can be calculated using the conservation of energy as :


h' = 5.1 m
The maximum height above ground,
H = 5.1 + 20
H = 25.1 meters
So, the maximum height reached by the ball is 25.1 meters.
(b) The ball's speed as it passes the window on its way down is same as the initial speed i.e. 10 m/s.
Hence, this is the required solution.
Answer:
300 J
Explanation:
Work = (Force)*(distance) = 600 N ∗ 0.5 m = 300 J
