The angle of the planet is mathematically given as

dY= 704 degrees

<h3>What angle has planet Y rotated through during this time?</h3>

With Kepler's third rule, which states that a planet's orbit squared is a function of cubed radius, we can prove that this is the case.

Generally, the equation for the period is mathematically given as

(periodX / periodY)^2 = (radius X / radius Y)^3

Therefore

(pX / pY)^2 = 4^3

(pX / pY)^2 = 64

\sqrt{(pX / pY )^2}= \sqrt{64}

(pX / pY=8

In conclusion, Because it takes 8 times longer to complete one orbit on planet X, planet Y travels 8 times farther than planet X does in the same time period...

planet Y travels ;

dY=8 * 88.0

dY= 704 degrees

What Is a Sound Wave? Learning Goal: To understand the nature of a sound wave, including its properties: frequency wavelength, l

NISA [10]

Answer:

A) Propagation of pressure fluctuations in a medium

B) air is the medium in which the wave is transported,

Explanation:

Part A.

A sound wave is a longitudinal oscillation of the molecules that forms in a material medium, they can be solid, liquid or gases, therefore the wave propagates in the same direction as the oscillation of the particles.

The most correct answer is:

* Propagation of pressure fluctuations in a medium

Part b

air is the medium in which the wave is transported, otherwise it cannot propagate

A suspension bridge has twin towers that are 1300 feet apart. Each tower extends 180 feet above the road surface. The cables are

zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

$y = 17.04 ft$

Explanation:

Since the cable touches the road at the mid point of two towers

so here we have vertex at that mid point taken to be origin

now the maximum height on the either side is given as

$y = 180 ft$

horizontal distance of the tower from mid point is given as

$x = \frac{1300}{2} = 650 ft$

now from the equation of parabola we have

$y = k x^2$

$180 = k(650^2)$

$k = 4.26 \times 10^{-4}$

now we have

$y = (4.26 \times 10^{-4})x^2$

now we need to find the height at distance of 200 ft from center

so we have

$y = (4.26 \times 10^{-4})(200^2)$

$y = 17.04 ft$

Jack travelled 360 km at an average speed of 80 km/h. Elaine

diamong [38]

Answer:

Average speed of Elain = 60 km/h

Explanation:

Total Distance covered by Jack = 360km

Average Speed of Jack = 80 km/h

Time taken by Jack to complete his journey = Distance / Average speed = 360 km / 80 km/h

Time taken by Jack to complete his journey = 4.5 hours

As it is given the both Jack and Elain travelled the same amount of distance:

Total distance travelled by Elain = 360 km

It is given that Elain took 1.5 hourse more than Jack to cover the distance, so Time taken by Elain to cover the distance is = 4.5 hours + 1.5 hours = 6 hours

Average speed of Elain = Distance/ time = 360 km / 6 hours

Average speed of Elain = 60 km/h

Monochromatic light is incident on a metal surface, and electrons are ejected. If the intensity of the light increases, what wil

drek231 [11]

Answer:The rate of ejection of photoelectrons will increase

Explanation:

If the frequency of incident monochromatic light is held constant and its intensity is increased, the rate of ejection of photoelectrons from the metal surface increases with increase in intensity of the monochromatic light. More current flows due to more ejection of photoelectrons.
