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 do you think that astronomers mean when they use the term observable universe?

iren2701 [21]

The observable universe consists of galaxies and other matter that can, principally, be seen from Earth because the light signals have had time to reach us. Not everything in the sky is the way it is when we see it, because of the distance the light travels to reach us.

Hope this helps :)

The charges and coordinates of two charged particles held fixed in the xy plane are: q1 = +3.3 µc, x1 = 3.5 cm, y1 = 0.50 cm, an

Readme [11.4K]

1) First of all, we need to find the distance between the two charges. Their distance on the xy plane is
$d= \sqrt{(x_1-x_2)^2+(y_1-y_2)^2}$
substituting the coordinates of the two charges, we get
$d= \sqrt{(3.5+2)^2+(0.5-1.5)^2}=5.6~cm=0.056~m$

2) Then, we can calculate the electrostatic force between the two charges $q_1$ and $q_2$ , which is given by
$F=k_e \frac{q_1 q_2}{d^2}$
where $k_e=8.99\cdot10^{9} Nm^2C^{-2}$ is the Coulomb's constant.
Substituting numbers, we get
$F=8.99\cdot10^{9} Nm^2C^{-2} \frac{(3.3\cdot10^{-6}~C) (-4\cdot10^{-6}~C)}{(0.056~m)^2} =-37.8~N$
and the negative sign means the force between the two charges is attractive, because the two charges have opposite sign.
