Kepler's third law hypothesizes that for all the small bodies in orbit around the
same central body, the ratio of (orbital period squared) / (orbital radius cubed)
is the same number.

Moon #1: (1.262 days)² / (2.346 x 10^4 km)³

Moon #2: (orbital period)² / (9.378 x 10^3 km)³

If Kepler knew what he was talking about ... and Newton showed that he did ...
then these two fractions are equal, and may be written as a proportion.

Cross multiply the proportion:

(orbital period)² x (2.346 x 10^4)³ = (1.262 days)² x (9.378 x 10^3)³

Divide each side by (2.346 x 10^4)³:

(Orbital period)² = (1.262 days)² x (9.378 x 10^3 km)³ / (2.346 x 10^4 km)³

= 0.1017 day²

Orbital period = 0.319 Earth day = about 7.6 hours.

How are frequency, wavelength, and energy related? Choose all that apply.

marta [7]

Explanation:

The energy of a wave is given by :

$E=\dfrac{hc}{\lambda}$

Where

h is Planck's constant

c is the speed of light

$\lambda$ is wavelength

Energy is inversely proportional to wavelength. Also, the relation between frequency and wavelength is inverse.

If the frequency is high, the wavelength will be shorter.

Hence, the correct options are :

Higher frequencies have shorter wavelengths.

Shorter wavelengths have lower energy.

Lower frequencies have lower energy.

Michael Faraday was one of the first scientists to experiment with motors. How did Faraday design his first motor?

Margaret [11]

The correct option is D.
Micheal Friday devised a wire which hanged down into a glass vessel that has a bar magnet secured at the bottom. He then filled the glass vessel with Mercury and connected the apparatus to a battery. This sent electricity through the wire, thus creating a magnetic field around it. This field interacted with the field around the magnet and cause the wire to rotate clock wisely.
