There are three things needed to be classified as a planet.

Pluto meets 2 of the 3.

The one it does not meet is it doesn’t “clear the neighborhood” which means a planet needs to be gravitationally dominant over all objects around it. Meaning smaller bodies ( asteroids) would either combine with the larger body making it bigger or pushing them away ( out of their orbit) so they do not collide with the larger body.

The earth exerts a gravitational force of 500 N on Amy. What is Amy’s mass in kg?
White raven [17]

Gravitational force of earth is given as weight of object

so here we know that gravitational force on Amy is 500 N

so we will have

mg = 500 N

now we will have

g = 9.8 m/s^2

now from above equation we will have

m (9.8 m/s^2) = 500 N

m = \frac{500}{9.8} kg

m = 51 kg

so the mass of the Amy is 51 kg

Derive a relation between time period anf frequency of a wave
Elza [17]

Answer:

The relation between frequency and time period is given by:

f = 1/T

Explanation:

In a wave motion, the particle move about the mean position with the passage of time. The particles rise to reach the highest point which is crest, and similarly falls to reach the lowest point which is trough. The cycle keeps on repeating.

The time period of the wave can be defined as the time taken to complete one such cycle. Time period is given by:

T = 2π/ω

Frequency can be defined as the number of cycles completed in unit time, which can be taken as the inverse of time period. frequency is given by

f = ω/2π

or

f = 1/T
