The equation 7^2=a^2 shows the relationship between a planet’s orbital period, T, and the planet’s mean distance from the sun, A

, in astronomical units, AU. If planet Y is k times the mean distance from the sun as planet X, by what factor is the orbital period increased?

Answer:

The period of Y increases by a factor of k^ {3/2} with respect to the period of X

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation T ^ 2 = a ^ 3 shows the relationship between the orbital period of a planet, T, and the average distance from the planet to the sun, A, in astronomical units, AU. If planet Y is k times the average distance from the sun as planet X, at what factor does the orbital period increase?  

For the planet Y:  

T_y ^ 2 = a_y ^ 3

For planet X:  

T_x ^ 2 = a_x ^ 3

To know the factor of aumeto we compared T_x with T_y

We know that the distance "a" from planet Y is k times larger than the distance from planet X to the sun. So:  

a_y ^ 3 = (a_xk) ^ 3

So

\frac{T_y ^ 2}{T_x ^ 2}=\frac{a_y ^ 3}{a_x^ 3}\\\\\frac{T_y ^ 2}{T_x ^ 2}=\frac{(a_xk)^3}{a_x ^ 3}\\\\\frac{T_y^ 2}{T_x^ 2}=\frac{k ^ {3}a_{x}^ 3}{a_{x}^ 3}\\\\\frac{T_{y}^ 2}{T_{x}^ 2}=k ^ 3\\\\T_{y}^ 2 = T_{x}^{2}k^{3}\\\\T_{y} =k^{\frac{3}{2}}T_x

Then, the period of Y increases by a factor of k^ {3/2} with respect to the period of X

What is the volume of the metal in this heavy-duty pipe? (It is not drawn to scale and the inside of the pipe is empty space.) S
Jlenok [28]
The volume of the pipe is about 282.6 cubic feet.

First, we need to find the area of each circular cross section and subtract them to find the width of the pipe. The area of a circle is pi(r^2).

pi(3^2) - pi(2^2)
28.26 - 12.56 = 15.7

The width of the pipe is 15.7. Now, multiply that by 18 to find the volume.
15.7 x 18 = 282.6

If the two triangles shown below are congruent, select the corresponding 1 point
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

SSS

Step-by-step explanation:

The two triangles both share a side (the middle line), and it is shown that the other lines are congruent to each other. So all 3 sides are congruent, meaning SSS is the postulate that proves this.
