The mass of the Sun is 2 × 1030 kg, and the mass of Saturn is 5.68 × 1026 kg. The distance between Saturn and the Sun is 9.58 AU
. Veronica is solving the following equation to calculate the orbital period of Saturn, but there is an error in the equation. What should Veronica change to correct the equation? a)change the position of 2 x 1030 kg and 9.58 AU
b)change 2 x 1030 kg to 5.68 x 1026 kg
c)change the square root to a cube root
d)change 9.58 AU to the distance in meters
Answer is D (Change 9.58AU to the distance in meters)
Explanation:
This is because the SI unit for measuring distance is meters not AU. Beside the unit AU does not represent any mathematical unit under distance or motion.
Kinetic energy is anything that is moving, potential energy is anything that has the potential to move and then create kinetic energy. Wind blowing has kinetic energy as it is in motion.
