Answer:

Explanation:

Saturn orbital period

p(s)= 29.46years

Average distance

a(s) = 9.54AU

Venus orbital period

p(v) = 0.62 years

a(v) ?

Using Kepler's third law

a³ ∝p²

a³ = kp²

a³/p² = k

Where

a is the distance if planet from sun

T is the period of the planet

Then,

a(Venus)³/p(venus)² = a(saturn)³/p(saturn)²

a(v)³/p(v)² = a(s)³/p(s)²

a(v) ³/ 0.62² = 9.54³/29.46²

a(v) ³/ 0.62² = 1.0004

a(v)³ = 1.0004× 0.62²

a(v)³ = 0.3846

a(v) = cube root(0.3846)

a(v) = 0.727 AU

Answer:

15.66 AU

Explanation:

Using Kepler's law which states that T² ∝ R³ where T = period of planet and R = distance of planet from sun.

So T₁²/T₂² = R₁³/R₂³

where T₁ = orbital period of Saturn = 29.46 years

           T₂ = orbital period of Venus = 0.62 years

           R₁ = average distance of Saturn to the sun = 9.54 AU

           R₂ = average distance of Venus to the sun = ?

From the equation above,

R₂³ = (T₂²/T₁²)R₁³

R₂ = [∛(T₂/T₁)²]R₁

R₂ = [∛(0.62/29.46)²]9.54 AU

R₂ = [∛(0.021)²]9.54 AU

R₂ = [∛0.000443]9.54 AU

R₂ = [0.0762]9.54 AU

R₂ = 0.727 AU

Using energy considerations and assuming negligible air resistance, show that a rock thrown from a bridge 23.5 m above water wit
Elodia [21]

As stated in the statement, we will apply energy conservation to solve this problem.

From this concept we know that the kinetic energy gained is equivalent to the potential energy lost and vice versa. Mathematically said equilibrium can be expressed as

\Delta KE = \Delta PE

\frac{1}{2}mv_f^2-\frac{1}{2} mv_0^2 = mgh_2-mgh_1

Where,

m = mass

v_{f,i} = initial and final velocity

g = Gravity

h = height

As the mass is tHe same and the final height is zero we have that the expression is now:

\frac{1}{2}v_f^2-\frac{1}{2} v_0^2 = gh_2

\frac{1}{2} (v_f^2-v_0^2) = gh_2

(v_f^2-v_0^2) = 2gh_2

v_f = \sqrt{2gh_2+v_0^2}

v_f = \sqrt{2(9.8)(23.5)+13.6^2}

v_f = 25.4m/s

I need a short written description of Newton's three laws.
Tom [10]
Newton’s first law of motion, also called the law on inertia, states that an object continues in its state of rest or of uniform motion unless compelled to change that state by an external force.Newton’s second law of motion states that if a net force acts on an object, it will cause an acceleration of that object.Newton’s third law of motion<span> states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. hope this wasnt two long!</span>
