I would not because Pluto is like the other planets even though that it is smaller that all the other planets and colder but I don’t think it was necessary

Answer:

Explanation:

we humans have our own ify classification for celestial objects, most people are saddened that pluto is not a planet anymore altho it hasn't changed at all.

scientist say that if an object is going to be considered a planet it must fill in these three checkboxes:

You must be spherical, you must orbit a star, and you must have already cleared your path or debris.

Pluto fills in the first two boxes but it does orbit in the keyperbelt and there are 5 other objects just like it. this is why pluto has been dubbed a dwarf planet.

Answer:

There is a thing called a continental drift. It started about 200 million years ago. At first the continents were all attached, this super continent was called pangaea. Continental drift occurs because of the shift of the tectonic plates within the earth's outer shell. The heat from within the earth triggers movement to occur. This a very slow process though. It took 200 million years for the continents to get where the are now and would probably take another 200 to collide.

A 3.0 m tall, 40 cm diameter concrete column supports a 235,000 kg load. by how much is the column compressed? assume young's mo
statuscvo [17]
The Young modulus E is given by:
E= \frac{F L_0}{A \Delta L}
where 
F is the force applied
A is the cross-sectional area perpendicular to the force applied
L_0 is the initial length of the object
\Delta L is the increase (or decrease) in length of the object.

In our problem, L_0 = 3.0 m is the initial length of the column, E=3.0 \cdot 10^{10}N/m^2 is the Young modulus. We can find the cross-sectional area by using the diameter of the column. In fact, its radius is:
r= \frac{d}{2}= \frac{40 cm}{2}=20 cm=0.2 m
and the cross-sectional area is
A=\pi r^2 = \pi (0.20 m)^2=0.126 m^2
The force applied to the column is the weight of the load:
W=mg=(235000 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)=2.305 \cdot 10^6 N

Now we have everything to calculate the compression of the column:
\Delta L =  \frac{F L_0}{EA}= \frac{(2.305\cdot 10^6 N)(3.0 m)}{(3.0\cdot 10^{10}N/m^2)(0.126 m^2)} =1.83\cdot 10^{-3}m
So, the column compresses by 1.83 millimeters.

A kite 40 ft above the ground moves horizontally at a constant speed of 10 ft/s, with a child, holding the ball of kite string,
Lorico [155]

Answer:

 v = 27.28 m /s, θ = 63.9º

Explanation:

For this exercise we can approximate the movement to a projectile launch, let's analyze the situation.

* We must find the horizontal speed, for this we will find the descent time and the horizontal distance

* We look for the vertical speed

At the highest point the speed is horizontal

Let's find the time it takes for the kite to reach the ground

             y = y₀ + v_{oy} t - ½ g t²

             0 =y₀ + 0 -1/2 gt²

             t = \sqrt{ \frac{2y_o}{g} }

             t = √(2 40/32)

             t = 2.5 s

to find the horizontal velocity we must know the horizontal distance, let's use trigonometry

          sin θ = y / l

          θ = sin⁻¹1 y / l

          θ = sin⁻¹ 40/50

          θ = 53.1º

therefore the horizontal distance is

          x = l cos 53.1

          x = 50cos 53.1

          x = 30 m

let's use the equation

          x = v₀ₓ t

          v₀ₓ = x / t

          v₀ₓ = 30 / 2.5

          v₀ₓ = 12 m / s

we look for the vertical component of the velocity

          v_y = v_{oy} - g t

          v_y = 0 - g t

          v_y = - 9.8 2.5

          v_y = -24.5 m / s

the negative sign indicates that the speed is directed downwards, because it is the arrival point, as they indicate that there is no friction, the exit speed is the same, worse with the opposite sign

We already have the two components of the velocity, let's use the Pythagorean theorem to find the modulus

          v = \sqrt{v_x^2 + v_y^2}

          v = \sqrt{12^2 + 24.5^2}

          v = 27.28 m /s

we use trigonometry for the angle

          tan θ = v_y / vₓ

          θ = tan⁻¹ v_y / vₓ

          θ = tan⁻¹ 24.5 / 12

          θ = 63.9º

The standard emf for the cell using the overall cell reaction below is +2.20 V: 2Al(s) + 3I2 (s) → 2Al3+ (aq) + 6I− (aq) The emf
Triss [41]

Answer: +2.10V

Explanation:

2Al(s)+3I_2(s)\rightarrow 2Al^{3+}(aq)+6I^-(aq)

Using Nernst equation :

E_{cell}=E^o_{cell}-\frac{0.059}{n}\log K

E_{cell}=E^o_{cell}-\frac{0.059}{n}\log [Al^{3+}]^2\times [I^-]^6

where,

E^o_{cell} = standard emf for the cell = +2.20 V

n = number of electrons in oxidation-reduction reaction = 6

E_{cell} = emf of the cell = ?

[Al^{3+}]  = concentration = 5.0\times 10^{-3}M

[I}^{-}]  = concentration = 0.10M

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:

E_{cell}=+2.20-\frac{0.059}{6}\log [5.0\times 10^{-3}]^2\times [0.10]^6

E_{cell}=2.10V

The standard emf for the cell using the overall cell reaction below is +2.10 V
