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

Equating the ratio:
(1.262 days)² / (2.346 x 10^4 km)³  = (orbital period)² / (9.378 x 10^3 km)³

Cross-multiply:
(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)³ ] / (2.346 x 10^4)³

               =  0.1017 day²

Orbital period = 0.319 Earth day = about 7.6 hours.

A block of aluminum at a temperature of T1 = 32 degrees C has a mass of m1 = 12 kg. It is brought into contact with another bloc
Mariulka [41]

Answer:T=21.33 ^{\circ}

Explanation:

Given

mass of First Block m_1=12 kg

Temperature T_1=32^{\circ}

mass of second block m_2=0.5 m_1=6 kg

Temperature T_2=9^{\circ}

Heat capacity of aluminium c=899 J/kg-K

Final Temperature acquired by both blocks at steady state

Heat loss first block =Heat gain by second block

m_1\times c\times (32-T)=m_2\times c\times (T-9)

12\times 899\times (32-T)=6\times 899\times (T-9)

2\times 32=3T

T=\frac{64}{3}=21.33 ^{\circ}
