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.

How are the concepts of impulse and momentum related?
butalik [34]

Answer:

The impulse experienced by the object equals the change in momentum of the object. In equation form, F • t = m • Δ v. In a collision, objects experience an impulse; the impulse causes and is equal to the change in momentum. ... The collision would change the halfback's speed and thus his momentum.

The force that probably propels the movement of the earth s gigantic rock plates is
il63 [147K]

The correct answer is:

c. convection.

The heating of magma and the continuous cycle of evolution of the magma creating a convection current is the reason for the evolution of Earths tectonic plates.

Explanation:

Tectonic plates are ready to move because the Earth's lithosphere has higher strength than the underlying asthenosphere. Lateral density changes in the mantle appear in convection. Plate movement is believed to be driven by a succession of the motion of the seafloor apart from the extended ridge (due to variations in topography and density of the crust.

A long, nonconducting cylinder (radius = 6.0 mm) has a nonuniform volume charge density given by αr2, where α = 6.2 mC/m5 and r
erastovalidia [21]

Answer: 2.80 N/C

Explanation: In order to calculate the electric firld inside the solid cylinder

non conductor we have to use the Gaussian law,

∫E.ds=Q inside/ε0

E*2πrL=ρ Volume of the Gaussian surface/ε0

E*2πrL= a*r^2 π* r^2* L/ε0

E=a*r^3/(2*ε0)

E=6.2 * (0.002)^3/ (2*8.85*10^-12)= 2.80 N/C
