The answer is. It did not meet the three criteria the IAU uses to define a full-sized planet.
1. It is in orbit around the Sun
2. It has sufficient mass to assume hydrostatic equilibrium
3. It has 'cleared the neighborhood' around its orbit
Pluto has not 'cleared its neighborhood'
Air pressure decreases with altitude
hope that helps you!
Given Information:
KEa = 9520 eV
KEb = 7060 eV
Electric potential = Va = -55 V
Electric potential = Vb = +27 V
Required Information:
Charge of the particle = q = ?
Answer:
Charge of the particle = +4.8x10⁻¹⁸ C
Explanation:
From the law of conservation of energy, we have
ΔKE = -qΔV
KEb - KEa = -q(Vb - Va)
-q = KEb - KEa/Vb - Va
-q = 7060 - 9520/27 - (-55)
-q = 7060 - 9520/27 + 55
-q = -2460/82
minus sign cancels out
q = 2460/82
Convert eV into Joules by multiplying it with 1.60x10⁻¹⁹
q = 2460(1.60x10⁻¹⁹)/82
q = +4.8x10⁻¹⁸ C
(4/9-9) and (4/0) are undefined as you can not divide by the value of 0.
