The asteroids in the Kuiper belt are composed of which of the following?
minerals |
|
rock |
|
gaseous methane, ammonia, and water |
|
frozen methane, ammonia, and water |
The Kuiper Belt is similar to the asteroid belt but much larger. Extending beyond the orbit of Neptune, it contains objects composed mostly of frozen methane, ammonia, and water. Most notably, the Kuiper Belt is home to Pluto, a dwarf planet that, until a 2006 reclassification, was considered the ninth planet of the solar system.
Velocity is the rate at which an object changes position. What is the formula for velocity?
\(\vec{v} = \vec{d}t \) |
|
\(\vec{v} = { \vec{d} \over t } \) |
|
\(\vec{v} = { t \over \vec{d} } \) |
|
none of these |
Velocity is the rate at which an object changes position. Rate is measured in time and position is measured in displacement so the formula for velocity becomes \(\vec{v} = { \vec{d} \over t } \)
