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.

Which of the following is a constructive process?
Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

Deposition is a constructive process.

Explanation:

A positive method relates to a mechanism requiring the creation of a single entity or element.

Sediments can be soil or rock formed. Weathered materials which are carried through sheets probably led to a forming of the shape of the soil through influences such as wind , water, gravity, etc.

Answer: Deposition

Infer: How might the size of a group affect its defense?
uysha [10]
I don't know exactly what you mean but the size of a group affects its defense because there is a larger group. Therefore, more people would be protecting it, adding more to its defense.

Olenka [21]

This membrane mimics the plasma membrane that is around animal cells. In order to explore how water moves in and out of a cell, one cell was weighed and then submerged in hypertonic solution. The other egg was weighted and submerged in hypotonic solution. It was predicted that the egg submerged in hypertonic solution  would decrease in mass. It was predicted that the egg submerged in hypotonic solution would increase in mass.

Explanation:

The outermost covering of an animal cell is the plasma membrane. It is a selectively permeable membrane that allows only selective molecules to pass through it.

A solution having higher concentration of solute than the cell cytoplasm is called a hypertonic solution.

A solution having lower concentration of solute than the cell cytoplasm is called the  hypotonic solution.

The movement of water molecules from the region of its higher concentration to the region of its lower concentration through a semipermeable membrane is called osmosis.

A cell placed in hypertonic solution will undergo exosmosis so it will lose water and its mass will decrease.

A cell placed in hypotonic solution  will undergo endosmosis of water  so it will gain water and its mass will increase.
