Answer:

The options.

A) Planet B has an orbital period 64 times shorter than Planet A.

B) Planet B has an orbital period 4 times shorter than Planet A.

C) Planet B has an orbital period 64 times longer than Planet A.

D) Planet B has an orbital period 4 times longer than Planet A.

E) Planet B has an orbital period 8 times longer than Planet A.

The CORRECT ANSWER IS E)

E) Planet B has an orbital period 8 times longer than Planet A.

Explanation:

Using P2 = a3 to do the estimation.

Let the size of the orbit (a) be represented in astronomical units (1 AU is the average distance between the Earth and Sun) and the period (P) is estimated in years, then Kepler's Third Law says P2 = a3.

It implies that:

A) the period of a planet is independent on its mass.

B) all orbits that possess equal semimajor axis possesses equal period.

C) planets that very distant from the Sun moves slowly than those that are nearer to the sun.

P2 = a3

Given, a =2

P2 = (2)^3

P2 = 8

E) Planet B has an orbital period 8 times longer than Planet A

In China, people gained their governing rights by a mandate of heaven creating very long lines of dynasties until the common people of China decided that the dynasty had lost the favor of the Gods. But, in the Indus River Valley, the priests were referred as the head officials who had different amounts of authority. In Egypt, the pharaoh was seen as a God to the people and was then given his right as the supreme ruler in the eyes of the people.  

Though in Sumer, the kingdoms were organized into city-states and the different Kings ruled each city-states for their gods. The kings were assisted by priests, nobles, and scribed. But before the kings came, the priests were the one who would rule over all of  Sumer.

What is 45 w is 12:00 noon whate will be the local mean time at 90 E​
____ [38]

Answer:

9 pm

Explanation:

If the local mean time at 45° W is 12:00 noon, what will be the local mean time at 90°E?

Solution:

The lines of longitude run from north to south, measuring distance from east to west of the prime meridian. The line of longitude are used to measure time between different locations.

Each 15° = 1 hour, 1° = 4 minutes

Change in longitude = 45° + 90° = 135°

Change in time = 135° * (1 hour per 15°) =  9 hours

Final destination time = initial time + change in time

Final destination time = 12 noon + 9 hours
