Statement #1 is the correct word-form of Kepler's 2nd law of planetary motion.
kherson [118]4 years ago
5 0

Answer:

1. The law of equal areas suggests that the imaginary line connecting the Sun to a planet sweeps out equal areas in equal amounts of time.

Explanation:

This statement correctly describes Kepler's 2nd law of planetary motion. The three Kepler laws of planetary motion are:

1st law: the orbits of the planets around the Sun are ellipses, with the Sun at one of the two focii

2nd law: an imaginary line connecting the Sun to a planet sweeps out equal areas in equal amounts of time

3rd law: the cube of the average distance of a planet from the Sun is proportional to the square of the orbital period of the planet

As we can see, the 2nd law corresponds to the first statement described in the question. Also, a result of this law is that the speed of a planet decreases as the planet moves farther from the Sun, while its speed is higher when the planet is close to the Sun.

Define the reflection with diagram​
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

The incident light ray which lands upon the surface is said to be reflected off the surface. The ray that bounces back is called the reflected ray. If a perpendicular were to be drawn on reflecting surface, it would be called normal. The figure below shows the reflection of an incident beam on a plane mirror.

When a voltage difference is applied to a piece of metal wire, a 5.0 mA current flows through it. If this metal wire is now repl
zheka24 [161]

Answer:

I = 21.13 mA ≈ 21 mA

Explanation:

If

I₁ = 5 mA

L₁ = L₂ = L

V₁ = V₂ = V

ρ₁ = 1.68*10⁻⁸ Ohm-m

ρ₂ = 1.59*10⁻⁸ Ohm-m

D₁ = D

D₂ = 2D

S₁ = 0.25*π*D²

S₂ = 0.25*π*(2*D)² = π*D²

If we apply the equation

R = ρ*L / S

where (using Ohm's Law):

R = V / I

we have

V / I = ρ*L / S

If V and L are the same

V / L =  ρ*I / S

then

(V / L)₁ = (V / L)₂  ⇒     ρ₁*I₁ / S₁ = ρ₂*I₂ / S₂

If

S₁ = 0.25*π*D²   and

S₂ = 0.25*π*(2*D)² = π*D²

we have

ρ₁*I₁ / (0.25*π*D²) = ρ₂*I₂ / (π*D²)

⇒    I₂ = 4*ρ₁*I₁ / ρ₂

⇒     I₂ = 4*1.68*10⁻⁸ Ohm-m*5 mA / 1.59*10⁻⁸ Ohm-m

⇒     I₂ = 21.13 mA

The equation T^2=A^3 shows the relationship between a planet’s orbital period, T, and the planet’s mean distance from the sun, A
kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

D. 2^(3/2)

Explanation:

Given that

T² = A³

Let the mean distance between the sun and planet Y be x

Therefore,

T(Y)² = x³

T(Y) = x^(3/2)

Let the mean distance between the sun and planet X be x/2

Therefore,

T(Y)² = (x/2)³

T(Y) = (x/2)^(3/2)

The factor of increase from planet X to planet Y is:

T(Y) / T(X) = x^(3/2) / (x/2)^(3/2)

T(Y) / T(X) = (2)^(3/2)

Using what you know about air pressure and the water cycle, explain how hurricanes form. Why are there certain places on Earth m
Yuki888 [10]
Hurricanes form when hot air and cold air start colliding above water and they start to form a tornado but there is water in the tornado. Certain places on earth are more susceptible to hurricanes because they are closer to the coastlines. For example, in Iowa, and Illinois, they have a lower chance of a hurricane, while Florida, and Washington have a higher rate because they are along the ocean. Hope this helps.
