Planet Y has rotated by 135.5° through during this time.

To find the answer, we need to know about the relation between angle and radius of orbit.

<h3>What's the expression of angle in terms of radius?</h3>
  • Angle= arc/radius
  • As arc = orbital velocity × time,

            angle= (orbital velocity × time)/radius

  • Orbital velocity= √(GM/radius), G= gravitational constant and M = mass of sun
  • So, angle = (√(GM)× time)/radius^3/2
<h3>What's is the angle rotated by planet Y after 5 years, if ratio of the radius of orbit of planet X and Y is 4:3 and planet X is rotated by 88°?</h3>
  • Let Ф₁= angle rotated by planet Y, Ф₂= angle rotated by planet X
  • As time = 5 years ( a constant)
  • Ф₁/Ф₂= (radius of planet X / radius of planet Y)^(3/2)
  • Ф₁= (radius of planet X / radius of planet Y)^(3/2) × Ф₂

   = (4/3)^(3/2) × 88°

   = 135.5°

Thus, we can conclude that Planet Y has rotated by 135.5° through during this time.

tia_tia [17]

Answer:

option (c)

Explanation:

When an object thrown upwards, the value of acceleration acting on the object is acceleration due to gravity which is always acting towards the earth.

As it falls downwards, the acceleration is again equal to the acceleration due to gravity.

So, the ball's acceleration is constant.
