How did the discovery of eris force astronomers to reconsider the definition of planet?

Physics
1 answer:
kogti [31]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Explanation:

They had demoted Pluto on the basis of the discovery of Eris. They also discovered that Eris had a moon. It was thought to be much bigger than Pluto. That turned out not to be true. So having accepted Eris as a planet, they had to consider carefully what to do about Pluto. It has a gravitational constant of 0.82 m/s^2 which is 8.4% of that of our gravitational pull. and slightly more than Pluto.

Later data showed that these two  objects in space were more like twins and that's what shook up the definition of a planet. You can't demote one and not the other.

Which is an inertial reference frame (or at least a very good approximation of one)? Which is an inertial reference frame (or at
ioda

Answer:

A jet plane flying straight and at level at constant speed

Explanation:

     The<em> inertial frame </em>of reference is a frame of reference in which all <em>Newton law  is valid</em> ie Newton second law of motion and therefore newton first law of motion holds good. <em>The frame of reference does not accelerate.</em>

All the object that is in the frame of reference are at rest or moving with constant rectilinear motion with constant velocity unless acted upon by any force.

jeka94

Answer:

It can be replicated and verified.

(c) is correct option.

Explanation:

Given that,

The following statements about a pseudoscientific idea.

(a). It is biased in its results.

(b). It can be tested and observed.

(c). It can be replicated and verified.

(d). It is improved with new information.

We know that,

Pseudo science :

In a pseudoscience, such as statements, trusts and facts about whom it is said these are scientific and logical but these statements is anomalous through the scientific method.

So, we can say that the statement is true about a pseudoscientific idea that is It can be replicated and verified

Hence, It can be replicated and verified.

(c) is correct option.

If the mass of a
mixer [17]

Answer:

The final acceleration becomes (1/3) of the initial acceleration.

Explanation:

The second law of motion gives the relationship between the net force, mass and the acceleration of an object. It is given by :

F=ma

m = mass

a = acceleration

According to given condition, if the mass of a  sliding block is tripled while a constant net force is applied. We need to find how much does the acceleration decrease.

a=\dfrac{F}{m}

Let a' is the final acceleration,

a'=\dfrac{F}{m'}

m' = 3m

a'=\dfrac{F}{3m}

a'=\dfrac{1}{3}\times \dfrac{F}{m}

a'=\dfrac{1}{3}\times a

So, the final acceleration becomes (1/3) of the initial acceleration. Hence, this is the required solution.
