to determine the mass of the central object, we must apply newton's version of kepler's third law, which requires knowing the or

bital period and average orbital distance (semimajor axis) for at least one star. we could consider any of the stars shown in the figure, so let's consider the star with the highlighted orbit (chosen because its dots are relatively easy to distinguish). what is the approximate orbital period of this star?

The approximate orbital period of this star is 13 years.

<h3>What is Kepler's third law?</h3>

The square of a planet's period of revolution around the sun in an elliptical orbit is directly proportional to the cube of its semi-major axis, states Kepler's law of periods.

T² ∝ a³

The time it takes for one rotation to complete depends on how closely the planet orbits the sun. With the use of the equations for Newton's theories of motion and gravitation, Kepler's third law assumes a more comprehensive shape:

P² = 4π² /[G(M₁+ M₂)] × a³

where M₁ and M₂ are the two circling objects' respective masses in solar masses.

Zoey ran a total of 1000m. 20 seconds into her run she had traveled 100 meters. What was her speed at 100 meters?
leva [86]
Let's assume that Zoey ran at a constant speed. we can use the equation,
 d = st
where, d = distance, s = speed, and t = time taken.

By rearranging,
 s = d/t
Zoey had travelled 100 m in 20 seconds.
Hence, s = 100 m / 20 s = 5 m/s

therefore Zoey's speed at 100 m is 5 m/s

A balloon having an initial temperature of 17.8°C is heated so that the volume doubles while the pressure is kept fixed. What i
Rama09 [41]

Answer:

T = 308.6 ^0 C

Explanation:

Here by ideal gas equation we can say

PV = nRT

now we know that pressure is kept constant here

so we will have

V = \frac{nR}{P} T

since we know that number of moles and pressure is constant here

so we have

\frac{V_2}{V_1} = \frac{T_2}{T_1}

now we know that initial temperature is 17.8 degree C

and finally volume is doubled

So we have

\frac{2V}{V} = \frac{T_2}{(273 + 17.8)}

so final temperature will be

T_2 = 581.6 k

T_2 = 308.6 ^o C

Why do you think there are so many more autotrophs than consumers on Earth?<br> Helppp
goldfiish [28.3K]

There are many Autotrophs than consumers because : Autotrophs are the bases of any food chain/web

<h3>Function of Autotrophs </h3>

Autotrophs capture the energy required for every food chain or web from which sustains other organisms in the food chain form sunlight and chemicals. Also there is always more biomass present in the lower levels of the trophic system as biomass decreases as we move up the food chain.

Since autotrophs are producers, for a healthy food chain there would be more autotrophs than consumers.

Hence we can conclude that There are many Autotrophs than consumers because : Autotrophs are the bases of any food chain/web
