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.

Compute the density in g/cm? of a piece of metal that has a mass of 0.450 kg and a volume of 52 cm3
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

Ro = 8.65 [g/cm³]

Explanation:

We must remember that density is defined as the ratio of mass to volume.

Ro=m/V

where:

m = mass = 0.450 [kg] = 450 [g]

V = volumen = 52 [cm³]

Ro = density [g/cm³]

Now replacing:

Ro = 450/52\\Ro = 8.65 [g/cm^{3} ]

An airplane has a starting velocity of 300m/s. It then accelerates at a rate of 45m/s2 for a time of 10s. What is it's final vel
Olenka [21]
A = (v - u) / t

a = acceleration
v = final velocity
u = initial velocity
t = time

45 = (v - 300) / 10

45 × 10 = v - 300

450 + 300 = v

v = 750 m/s

Hope this helps!

P.S. Let me know if you need an explanation

During Mr. Nye's science class, students were expected to identify various substances using physical properties they could easil
nydimaria [60]
Density is the best property to use, as while multiple different metals could create cubes with the same color, mass, or volume, no different metal could create a cube with the same mass and volume.  Density is based on mass and volume, and as a result no two different metals will have the same density.
