As the semimajor axis of a planet increase, the orbital period will decrease and the speed of the planet will decrease.

<h3>What is Kepler's second law?</h3>

Kepler's second law of planetary motion describes the speed of a planet traveling in an elliptical orbit around the Sun.

This law exaplains the speed of planets around the sun, the speed of the planet increases as it nears the sun and decreases as it recedes from the sun.

From the findings, the astronomical unit of the Mercury is 0.387 and the orbital period is 0.24 year.

T \propto a^{3/2}

T = ka^{3/2}\\\\k = \frac{T}{a^{3/2}}

From the equation above, as the semimajor axis of a planet increase, the orbital period will decrease and the speed of the planet will decrease.

When you eat a meal, food is digested and monomers like glucose are transported throughout your body. food is transformed and us
Alchen [17]
<span>Food molecules like lipids, proteins and polysaccharides are broken down enzymatically via digestion process, which occurs in our intestine cells (digestive system). Those large polymeric molecules are broken down into their monomer subunits—proteins into amino acids, polysaccharides into sugars, and fats into fatty acids and glycerol. Formed small organic molecules are now ready for the oxidation (a process that produces ATP and consumes O2) which occurs partly in the cytosol and in the mitochondrion. Oxidation processes include glycolysis and citric acid cycle which are differently required in different tissues. Nervous system (nerve cells) rely almost entirely on a constant supply of <span>glucose<span> from the bloodstream. In contrast, liver cells supply glucose to actively contracting muscle system which needs a lot of ATP energy.</span></span></span>

Systolic blood pressure:_____________ a) is the higher number of a blood pressure reading. b) is the lower number of a blood pre
Alik [6]

Answer:

is the higher number of a blood pressure reading.

Explanation: systolic blood pressure is the higher number of a blood pressure reading and its measure in millimeter of mercury.

Systolic pressure is the amount of pressure in the arteries when contraction takes place in heart. Diastolic pressure is the pressure the heart when it relaxes. It is the lower number of blood pressure reading

When the systolic pressure is >120mm Hg and diastolic is less than 80mm Hg it is normal

120-129mm Hg and diastolic less than 80mm Hg it high and such person needs a regular medical check up

But when systolic 129-139 mmHg

and diastolic is 90mm Hg or above it means the individual is having hypertension stage 1

Above 140mm Hg is hypertension stage 2 and it is the most severe stage. It means the person is hypertensive and medical attention needs to be seek for necessary treatment as this could lead to death of such individual if not well managed.
