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.

Driving along in your car, you take your foot off the gas, and your speedometer shows a reduction in speed. Describe an inertial
denis-greek [22]

Answer:

  v ’= v + v₀

a system can be another vehicle moving in the opposite direction.

Explanation:

In an inertial reference frame the speed of the vehicle is given by the Galileo transformational

          v ’= v - v₀

where v 'is the speed with respect to the mobile system, which moves with constant speed, v is the speed with respect to the fixed system and vo is the speed of the mobile system.

The vehicle's speedometer measures the harvest of a fixed system on earth, in this system v decreases, for a system where v 'increases it has to be a system in which the mobile system moves in the negative direction of the x axis, whereby the transformation ratio is

        v ’= v + v₀

Such a system can be another vehicle moving in the opposite direction.

A 4.1 object is lifted to a height of 4.5m above the surface of Earth.What is the potential energy of the object due to gravity?
liberstina [14]

Answer:

P = 180.81 J

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a object, m = 4.1 kg

It is lifted to a height of 4.5 m

We need to find the potential energy of the object due to gravity. It is given by the formula as follows :

P = mgh Where g is acceleration due to gravity

P = 4.1 kg × 9.8 m/s² × 4.5 m

P = 180.81 J

Hence, the potential energy is 180.81 J.
