Explanation:

It is given that,

Semi major axis of the Jupiter, a=7.78\times 10^{11}\ m

Mass of the sun, M=1.99\times 10^{30}\ kg

(a) Let T is the period of Jupiter's orbit. It is given by :

T^2\propto a^3

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

T^2=\dfrac{4\pi^2}{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 1.99\times 10^{30}}\times (7.78\times 10^{11})^3

T=3.74\times 10^8\ s

(b) We know that,

1\ year=3.154\times 10^7\ s

or

1\ s=3.171\times 10^{-8}\ year

3.74\times 10^8\ s={3.171\times 10^{-8}}\times {3.74\times 10^8}

T = 11.859 earth years

Hence, this is the required solution.

Answer:

(a) 3.74 x 10^8 seconds

(b) 11.86 earth year

Explanation:

Radius, R = 7.78 x 10^11 m

mass of sun, M = 1.99 x 10^30 kg

(a) Let T be the period of Jupiter.

T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{R^{3}}{GM}}

T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{\left ( 7.78\times10^{11} \right )^{3}}{6.67\times10^{-11}\times1.99\times10^{30}}}

T = 3.74 x 10^8 seconds

(b) 1 year = 365 days

1 day = 24 hour

1 hour = 60 minutes

1 minute = 60 seconds

T = 11.86 earth year.

What best describes a sound wave? transverse and electromagnetic longitudinal and mechanical longitudinal and electromagnetic tr
GalinKa [24]

Sound needs medium to travel and it can not travel without medium

so sound wave is a travelling wave

now we also know that sound wave propagate in form of rarefaction and compression.

So all medium particles travel in the direction of wave only

so it is a longitudinal wave also

so correct answer will be

<em>mechanical longitudinal </em>
