What 3 points must an object possess to be considered a planet

1 answer:

4 0

<span>1. It must be an object which independently orbits the Sun (this means moons can't be considered planets, since they orbit planets)
2. It must have enough mass that its own gravity pulls it into a spheroidal shape.
3. </span><span>It must be large enough to "dominate" its orbit (i.e. its mass must be much larger than anything else which crosses its orbit).</span>

Determine which heat transfers below are due to the process of conduction. I) You walk barefoot on the hot street and it burns y

Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

I) You walk barefoot on the hot street and it burns your toes.

II) When you get into a car with hot black leather in the middle of the summer and your skin starts to get burned.

Explanation:

In conduction mode of heat transfer we know that the energy is transferred from one system to other system due to direct contact of two bodies

Here due to this direct contact the energy is transferred via a given solid or liquid medium

In this type of heat transfer medium particles will remain in its own position only the energy is transferred.

So here we can say the correct answer will be

I) You walk barefoot on the hot street and it burns your toes.

II) When you get into a car with hot black leather in the middle of the summer and your skin starts to get burned.

A series circuit contains a 9-volt battery, a 3-ohm resistor and a 2-ohm resistor. What is the voltage drop across the 2-ohm res

BARSIC [14]

Since everything in the circuit is in series .. .

-- The total resistance is (3 + 2) = 5 ohms.

-- The voltage across the 3-ohm resistor is 3/5 of the total voltage.

-- The voltage across the 2-ohm resistor is 2/5 of the total voltage.

(2/5) of (9 volts) = 18/5 = 3.6 volts .

Because the pressure falls, water boils at a lower temperature with increasing altitude. Consequently, cake mixes and boiled egg

AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

1) The boiling point of water reduces by 3.28°C at 1,000 m above sea-level

2) The boiling point of water reduces by 6.56°C at 2,000 m above sea-level

Explanation:

The variation of the boiling point of water with elevation is given as follows

The boiling point reduces by 0.5°C for every 152.4 meter increase in elevation

At sea-level, the boiling point temperature of water = 100°C

1) At 1,000 m elevation, the boiling point temperature, T = 100 - (1,000/152.4) × 0.5 ≈ 96.72 °C

Therefore, the boiling point of water reduces by 100° - 96.72° = 3.28°C at 1,000 m above sea-level

2) At 2,000 m elevation, the boiling point temperature, T = 100 - (2,000/152.4) × 0.5 ≈ 93.44°C

The boiling point of water reduces by 100° - 93.44° = 6.56°C at 2,000 m above sea-level

Ann [662]

Answer:

B. Ecosystem B, because its high species diversity could have resulted from increased competition among its members.

Explanation:

This is because, in the ecosystem with varying level of biodiversity, Ecosystem B has medium level of species diversity found in them with High medium level of habitat diversity which causes increasing competitions among them.

A pumkin is dropped, after 5 seconds, its velocity is 47 m/s. What is its acceleration?

EastWind [94]

Since the pumpkin is dropped, that means it is in freefall and is accelerating at the acceleration due to gravity. The acceleration due to gravity is 9.81m/s down.
