Answer:

B. About 12 degrees

Explanation:

The orbital period is calculated using the following expression:

T = 2π*(\sqrt{\frac{r^3}{Gm}})

Where r is the distance of the planet to the sun, G is the gravitational constant and m is the mass of the sun.

Now, we don't actually need to solve the values of the constants, since we now that the distance from the sun to Saturn is 10 times the distance from the sun to the earth. We now this because 1 AU is the distance from the earth to the sun.

Now, we divide the expression used to calculate the orbital period of Saturn by the expression used to calculate the orbital period of the earth. Notice that the constants will cancel and we will get the rate of orbital periods in terms of the distances to the sun:

\frac{Tsaturn}{Tearth} = \sqrt{\frac{rSaturn^3}{rEarth^3} } = \sqrt{10^3}}

Knowing that the orbital period of the earth is 1 year, the orbital period of Saturn will be \sqrt{10^3}} years, or 31.62 years.

We find the amount of degrees it moves in 1 year:

1year * \frac{360degrees}{31.62years} = 11.38 degrees

or about 12 degrees.

Help with this question please.
mr Goodwill [35]

There are 4 hydrogens on the right side (2\mathrm H_2=4\mathrm H), and 2 hydrogens on the left per molecule of \mathrm H_2. To get the same number of hydrogens on both sides, the coefficient should be 2.

(Then the number of oxygens will be consistent, since 2\mathrm H_2\mathrm O contributes 2 oxygens, and so does \mathrm O_2.)

What is true of transverse waves?
topjm [15]
<h2>Answer:D</h2>

Explanation:

Option A:

Surface waves are neither transverse nor longitudinal.They traverse perpendicularly or parallel to the wave's motion along the interface between different media.

Option B:

Transverse waves vibrate perpendicularly to the direction of the propagation of the wave.

Option C:

Sound is a longitudinal wave.Not a transverse wave.

Option D:

Transverse waves don't require a medium for propagation.But they propagate in medium too.

A plastic tube allows a flow of 15.9 cm3 /s of water through it. how long will it take to fill a 237 cm3 bottle with water? answ
xxMikexx [17]
You are given a fixed rate of 15.9 cm³/s. You are also given with the amount of volume in 237 cm³. Through the approach of dimensional analysis, you can manipulate through operations such that the end result of the units must be in seconds. The solution is as follows:

237 cm³ * (1 s/15.9 cm³) = 14.9 seconds
