Pluto is not a planet because it's a dwarf planet it's to small to be a planet.

Hopefully this helped =)!

Pluto revolves around a star instead of our SUN. So, it's an "Exo-planet" rather than a Planet. It has declared in 2006 by the scientists.

Hope this helps!

A string is wrapped around a uniform disk of mass M = 1.2 kg and radius R = 0.07 m. (Recall that the moment of inertia of a unif

pentagon [3]

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of disk = 1.2 kg

Radius = 0.07 m

Radius of rod = 0.11 m

Mass of small disk = 0.5 kg

Force = 29 N

Time t = 0.022 s

$\theta=0.023\ m$

Distance d= 0.039 m

(I). We need to calculate the speed of the apparatus

Using work energy theorem

$W=\Delta K.E$

$Fd=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2$

$v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2Fd}{M+4m}}$

Where, m = total mass

v = velocity

F = force

d = distance

Put the value into the formula

$v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times29\times0.039}{1.2+4\times0.5}}$

$v=0.840\ m/s$

(b). We need to calculate the angular speed of the apparatus

Using formula of torque

$\tau=I\alpha$

$F\times=(\dfrac{1}{2}MR^2+4mb^2)\alpha$

$29\times0.07=(\dfrac{1}{2}\times1.2\times0.07^2+4\times0.5\times0.11^2)\alpha$

$\alpha=\dfrac{29\times0.07}{0.02714}$

$\alpha=74.79\ rad/s^2$

We need to calculate the angular speed of the apparatus

Using equation of angular motion

$\omega=\omega_{0}+\alpha t$

Put the value into the formula

$\omega=0+74.79\times0.022$

$\omega=1.645\ rad/s$

(c). We need to calculate the angular speed of the apparatus

Using equation of angular motion

$\omega_{0}^2=\omega^2+2\alpha t$

Put the value into the formula

$\omega_{0}^2=1.645^2+2\times74.79\times0.022$

$\omega=2.44\ rad/s$

Hence, This is required equation.

Radda [10]

Answer:

the two vehicles will be moving at a speed of 6.16 m/s

Explanation:

This is a case of completely inelastic collision, therefore, the conservation of momentum can be written as:

$m_1\,v_1+m_2\,v_2=(m_1+m_2)\,v_f$

which given the information provided results into:

$m_1\,v_1+m_2\,v_2=(m_1+m_2)\,v_f\\(1250)\,(0)+(3550)\,(8.33)=(1250+3550)\,v_f\\29571.5=4800\,v_f\\v_f=6.16\,\,m/s$

liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

Yes.

Explanation:

A kilometer is less than a mile, therefore if a horse can finish one mile in less than 2 minutes then it can certainly do a kilometer in less than two minutes.
