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.

Ugo [173]

Answer:

$+1 m/s^2$

Explanation:

Acceleration is given by

$a=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}$

where

$\Delta v$ is the change in velocity

$\Delta t$ is the time interval in which the change in velocity occurs

To find the acceleration at 1 second, we can take the data at t = 1 s and t = 2. We find:

$\Delta t = -3 -(-4) = 1 s$

$\Delta v = 2 - (1) = +1 m/s$

So, the acceleration is

$a=\frac{+1}{1}=+1 m/s^2$

Which is the electric potential energy of a charged particle divided by its charge?Electric fieldelectric field lineelectric pot

Dahasolnce [82]

<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

electric potential

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

Electric potential is the electric potential energy per unit charge.

Mathematically; V =PE/q

Where; PE is the electric potential energy, V is the electric potential and q is the charge.

Electric potential is more commonly known as voltage. If you know the potential at a point, and you then place a charge at that point, the potential energy associated with that charge in that potential is simply the charge multiplied by the potential.

28. Identify whether the following objects are in

Marianna [84]

Answer:

a. A baseball after it has been hit - not in free fall

b. A rock that is thrown in the air - not in free fall

c. The moon - free-fall

d. A paper airplane - not in free fall

e. A bird flying - not in free fall

Explanation:

The free-fall is defined as the falling of an object due to the action of gravity. The object is not experiencing any other force neglecting the air resistance.
If an object is in free-fall, the direction of its motion is directed towards the center of the earth. It does not have a horizontal component of velocity.
If the body is under free-fall, but a centripetal force acts on it where it is equal to the gravitational force at that point. The object will have two components of velocity along the tangential line, perpendicular to the radius of the orbit.

a. A baseball after it has been hit - not in free fall according to point 1 & 2.

b. A rock that is thrown in the air - not in free fall according to point 1.

c. The moon - free-fall according to point 3.

d. A paper airplane - not in free fall according to point 1 & 2.

e. A bird flying - not in free fall according to point 1 & 2.
