As per the question the distance of venus from sun is given as 0.723 AU

We have been asked to calculate the time period of the planet venus.

As per kepler's laws of planetary motion the square of time period of planet is directly proportional to the cube of semi major axis. mathematically

                                        T^{2} \alpha R^{3}

                                         ⇒ T^{2} = KR^{3} where is k is the proportionality  constant

We may solve this problem by comparing with the time period of the earth . We know that time period of earth is 365.5 days

Hence T_{1} =365.5 days

The distance of sun from earth is taken as 1 AU i.e the mean distance of earth from sun

Hence R_{1} =1 AU

The distance of venus from sun is 0.723 AU i.eR_{2} =0.723

From keplers law we know that-\frac{T_{1} ^{2} }{T_{2} ^{2} } =\frac{R_{1} ^{3} }{R_{2} ^{3} }

                            ⇒T_{2} ^{2} =T_{1} ^{2} *\frac{R_{2} ^{3} }{R_{1} ^{3} }

Putting the values mentioned above we get-

                                      T_{2} ^{2} =50,350.132851075

                                         ⇒ T_{2} =\sqrt{50,350.132851075}

                                        ⇒T_{2} = 224.388352752710 days.

Hence the time period of venus is 224.388352752710 days

Orbital period of Venus can be calculated using Kepler third law which states that period squared is equal to distance cubed, that is, (T1/T2)^2 = (a1/a2)^3 Where T1 equals the orbital period of venus, T2 is the orbital period of the earth and is equal to 365.25 days, a1 equals 0.723 AU and a2 equals 1AU. Using the equation and the values above, the orbital period of Venus is 224.54 days.

a sample contains 100 g of radioactive isotope. How much radioactive isotope will remain in the sample after 1 half-life?
kap26 [50]

Answer:

\huge\boxed{50g}

Definition:

Half-life- The time taken for half of the radioactive isotopes to decay.

Explanation:

How does radioactive decay work? Radioactive decay is a process by which unstable nuclei become more stable through the emission of alpha or beta particles or gamma rays.

Since a half-life is the time taken for half of the isotopes to decay, we can simply divide the initial mass of 100 grams by 2; this gives us 50 grams.

1) Divide 100g by 2.

\frac{100g}{2}=50g

How much work does a student (m = 60 kg) do when he Climb a tower 80 m high?
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

W = 47040  J

Explanation:

Given that,

The mass of a student, m = 60 kg

Height of the tower, h = 80 m

We need to find the work done in climbing the tower. The work done is given by :

W = mgh

So,

W = 60 × 9.8 × 80

W = 47040  J

So, the required work done is 47040  J.

Rock X is released from rest at the top of a cliff that is on Earth. A short time later, Rock Y is released from rest from the s
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

C) True. S increases with time, v₁ = gt and v₂ = g (t-t₀)  we see that for the same t v₁> v₂

Explanation:

You have several statements and we must select which ones are correct. The best way to do this is to raise the problem.

Let's use the vertical launch equation. The positive sign because they indicate that the felt downward is taken as an opponent.

Stone 1

    y₁ = v₀₁ t + ½ g t²

    y₁ = 0 + ½ g t²

Rock2

It comes out a little later, let's say a second later, we can use the same stopwatch

     t ’= (t-t₀)

    y₂ = v₀₂ t ’+ ½ g t’²

    y₂ = 0 + ½ g (t-t₀)²

    y₂ = + ½ g (t-t₀)²

Let's calculate the distance between the two rocks, it should be clear that this equation is valid only for t> = to

    S = y₁ -y₂

    S = ½ g t²– ½ g (t-t₀)²

    S = ½ g [t² - (t²- 2 t to + to²)]  

    S = ½ g (2 t t₀ - t₀²)

    S = ½ g t₀ (2 t -t₀)

This is the separation of the two bodies as time passes, the amount outside the Parentheses is constant.

For t <to.  The rock y has not left and the distance increases

For t> = to.  the ratio (2t/to-1)> 1 therefore the distance increases as time

passes

Now we can analyze the different statements

A) false. The difference in height increases over time

B) False S increases

C) Certain s increases with time, v₁ = gt and V₂ = g (t-t₀) we see that for the same t   v₁> v₂

Match each property with the benefit it provides to people on Earth. A. magnetic field filters cancer-causing rays from the sun
vodomira [7]

The correct matching are the following:

  • A. magnetic field: prevents charged particles from the sun from reaching the surface
  • B. ozone: filters cancer-causing rays from the sun
  • C. carbon dioxide: retains heat energy from the sun in the atmosphere
  • D. water in oceans, lakes, rivers and streams: moderates changes in temperature on the surface

The electromagnetic field of the Earth protects us from solar wind by deflecting it. Without it, the charged particles would strip away our ozone, which will lead to the end of life on Earth.

The ozone is a layer in the stratosphere that filters the suns rays. It filters the UV rays by absorbing it. This prevents the UV rays from damaging the surface of the Earth.

Carbon dioxide retains heat in the atmosphere, which creates a greenhouse effect. It is beneficial for us, but because human activity like industrial activities emit so much carbon in the atmosphere that it ends up being harmful.

Bodies of water found on Earth regulate the temperature of the Earth through ocean currents. It brings in both cold and warm air to land which also affect precipitation.

Long explanation, I know, but maybe this will help you out in the long run. Good Luck!

Imagine you are holding an apple. how could you increase the potential energy of this apple?
Ray Of Light [21]

If you're holding the apple at your waist, lift it to your mouth.
Potential energy relative to any level is proportional to its height
above that level.  Increase that height, and you've increased the
potential energy.

Since energy is conserved ... it never magically appears or
disappears ... you need to tell where that extra energy for the
apple came from.

It's exactly the work you did ... the force of your muscles acting
through the distance you raised the apple ... that became the
additional potential energy that the apple gained.
