Which sentence in the passage can be used to conclude that eris is a dwarf planet and not a planet?
eris takes about 557 earth years to orbit the sun. it has a mean surface temperature of about 40 kelvin. it has a nearly spherical shape. it has several other objects in its orbit, though few are as massive as itself. eris is too far away and small to be clearly visible from the earth. scientists used its moon, dysnomia, to measure it. eris is believed to be slightly more massive than pluto. however, both of them are smaller than earth’s moon. eris orbits the sun directly; it is not a satellite of another planet or dwarf planet.

What computer network component allows data transfers from one computer to another through a telephone line?

Consider a slotted aloha system, where the time slot equals the fixed duration of each packet. assume that there are 4 stations a, b,c, d sharing the medium. (a) stations a, b,c, d receive one packet each from higher layers at times 1.3, 1.5, 2.6,5.7 respectively. show which transmissions take place when, according to the slottedaloha protocol; describe all transmissions until all four packets have been successful. when needed, each station has access to the following sequence of random number, provided by a random number generator and drawn uniformly between 0 and 1: (1) station a draws numbers: 0.31, 0.27, 0.78, 0.9, 0.9, 0.11, 0. (2) station b draws numbers: 0.45, 0.28, 0.11, 0.83, 0.37, 0.22, 0. (3)station c draws numbers: 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0. (4) station d draws numbers: 0.36, 0.77, 0.9, 0.1, 0.1, 0.1, 0.1, 0. (b) in slotted aloha, a station transmits in each time slot with a given probability. what probabilities would you assign to each of the four stations so as to: (i) maximize the efficiency of the protocol? (ii) maximize fairness among the four stations? (c) will the efficiency increase or decrease if we modify slotted aloha as follows: (i) get rid of slots and allow stations to transmit immediately? (ii) implement carrier sensing? (iii) implement collision detection? (iv) implement collision avoidance?

What side length would you specify if you were required to create a regular hexagonal plate that was composed of 33 cm(squared) of sheet metal? dimension the side length to 0.1 cm
