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 train travelling at 20 m/s has 2 000 000 J of kinetic energy. What is the mass of<br> the train?
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

<h2>10,000 kg</h2>

Explanation:

The mass of the train can be found by using the formula

m =  \frac{2k}{ {v}^{2} }  \\

k is the kinetic energy

v is the velocity

From the question we have

m \frac{2(2000000)}{ {20}^{2} }  =  \frac{4000000}{400}  =  \frac{40000}{4}  \\

We have the final answer as

<h3>10,000 kg</h3>

Hope this helps you

Chegg Given that the mean radius of the Moon’s orbit is 3.84 x 108 m and its period is 2.36 x 106 sec, at what altitude above th
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

The altitude of geostationary satellite is 3.58\times10^{7}\ m

Explanation:

Given that,

Radius of moon's orbit r=3.84\times10^{8}\ m

Time period T=2.36\times10^{6}\ sec

We need to calculate the orbital radius of geostationary satellite is

Using formula of time period

T=\sqrt{\dfrac{4\pi^2}{GM}a^3}

a=((\dfrac{GM}{4\pi^2})T^2)^{\dfrac{1}{3}}

Where, G = gravitational constant

M = Mass of earth

T = time period of geostationary satellite orbit

Put the value in to the formula

a=((\dfrac{6.67\times10^{-11}\times5.97\times10^{24}}{4\times\pi^2})\times(86160)^2)^{\dfrac{1}{3}}

a=4.217\times10^{7}\ m

We need to calculate the altitude of geostationary satellite

Using formula of altitude

h = a-R_{e}

Where, R = radius of earth

a = radius of geostationary satellite

Put the value into the formula

h =4.217\times10^{7}-6.38\times10^{6}

h =35790000\ m

h=3.58\times10^{7}\ m

Hence, The altitude of geostationary satellite is 3.58\times10^{7}\ m
