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 solid sphere has a temperature of 614 K. The sphere is melted down and recast into a cube that has the same emissivity and emi

krok68 [10]

Answer:581.87 K

Explanation:

Given

Sphere is melted to form a square

Let the radius of sphere be r and square has a side a

Therefore

$\frac{4\pi}{3}r^3=a^3$

Surface area of sphere $A_s=4\pi r^2$

Surface area of cube $A_c=6a^2$

Total emmisive remains same

Thus $P=A\epsilon \sigma T^4$

$A_sT_s^4=A_cT_c^4$

$\frac{T_c^4}{T_s^4}=\frac{A_s}{A_c}$

$\frac{T_c^4}{T_s^4}=\frac{1}{2}\times \left ( \frac{4\pi}{3}\right )^{\frac{1}{3}}$

$\frac{T_c}{T_s}=\frac{1}{2^{0.25}}\times \left ( \frac{4\pi}{3}\right )^{\frac{1}{12}}$

$T_c=T_s\times \frac{1}{2^{0.25}}\times \left ( \frac{4\pi}{3}\right )^{\frac{1}{12}}$

$T_c=614\times \frac{1.12679}{1.189}$

$T_c=581.87 K$

A diamond is cut such that the angle between its top surface and its bottom surface is α. For α=45∘, find the largest possible v

Reil [10]

Answer:

i = 61 degree

Explanation:

Given,

$\alpha =45^{o}$

Now, by the snell's law

$sin\theta_c=\frac{1}{n}\\sin\theta_c=\frac{1}{2.450}\\\theta_c=24.09^o$

Now,

Sin i / sin r = n 2 / n 1

sin i / sin r (45 - 24.09) = 2.45 / 1

i = 60.97 degree

The greater the mass is in an object, the higher resistance to a change in movement the object will have. Please select the best

Fofino [41]

This statement is true. The greater the mass is in an object, it is indeed the higher resistance to a change in movement the object will have. That only mean that the mass of an object and its resistance to change of movement is directly proportional.
