Pluto was first observed in 1930, and its largest moon, Charon, was discovered in 1978. A few years after Charon’s discovery, as

tronomers were able to observe a series of eclipses as Pluto and Charon passed in front of one another. By studying how the brightness of Pluto and Charon changed as they eclipsed each other, astronomers were able to measure the masses and radii of both Pluto and its moon. What did these measurements imply about the average densities of Pluto and Charon?

Answer:

The average densities of both matches the expected density for objects made from water ice.

Explanation:

Charon's density is 1.2 to 1.3 g / cm3, while Pluto's density is 1.8 to 2.1 g / cm3. This was discovered in many researches and measurements of these two celestial bodies, with the objective of understanding them and promoting efficient scientific knowledge.

With the measurements of the average densities between pluto and Charon it was possible to conclude several statements about them. Firstly, it is possible to see that the two formed independently and at different times, in addition to indicating the existence of few rocks in charon, which is consistent with the average density of objects made mostly of water ice.

What is the minimum number of vectors lying in the same plane required to givs zero resulant
alexgriva [62]
Well the trivial answer is zero, since there is indeed a "zero vector". Assuming you aren't allowed to use the zero vector you would need at least two. They would be antiparallel and of equal magnitude. (That is be pointing in opposite directions and have the same length)

Which of the physical variables listed below will change when you change the area of the capacitor plates (while keeping the bat
RSB [31]

Answer:

a. Capacitance

b. Charge on the plates  

e. Energy stored in the capacitor

Explanation:

Let A be the area of the capacitor plate

The capacitance of a capacitor is given as;

C = \frac{Q}{V} = \frac{\epsilon _0 A}{d} \\\\

where;

V is the potential difference between the plates

The charge on the plates is given as;

Q = \frac{V\epsilon _0 A}{d}

The energy stored in the capacitor is given as;

E = \frac{1}{2} CV^2\\\\E = \frac{1}{2} (\frac{\epsilon _0 A}{d} )V^2

Thus, the physical variables listed that will change include;

a. Capacitance

b. Charge on the plates  

e. Energy stored in the capacitor

A devout halloweener not only dressed as an astronaut, but travelled to the moon for the full experience. The astronaut jumps on
nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

2.78 m

Explanation:

At the peak, the velocity is 0.

Given:

a = -1.6 m/s²

v₀ = 2.98 m/s

v = 0 m/s

x₀ = 0 m

Find:

x

v² = v₀² + 2a(x - x₀)

(0 m/s)² = (2.98 m/s)² + 2(-1.6 m/s²) (x - 0 m)

x = 2.775 m

Rounded to 3 sig-figs, the astronaut halloweener reaches a maximum height of 2.78 meters.

A race car has a centripetal acceleration of 13.33 m/s^2 as it goes around a curve. if the curve is a circle with a radius 30 m
anzhelika [568]

Answer:

The speed of the car, v = 19.997 m/s

Explanation:

Given,

The centripetal acceleration of the car, a = 13.33 m/s²

The radius of the curve, r = 30 m

The centripetal force acting on the car is given by the formula

                                   F = mv²/r

Where    v²/r is the acceleration component of the force

                                       a = v²/r

Substituting the values in the above equation

                                        13.33 = v²/30

                                         v² = 13.33 x 30

                                         v² = 399.9

                                         v = 19.997 m/s

Hence, the speed of the car, v = 19.997 m/s
