If planet A is three times as far from planet C, then the period of its orbit will be __ times as long

I may be wrong, but I think you're trying to say that Planet-A is
<em>3 times as far from the sun</em> as Planet-C is.

If that's the real question, then the answer is that the period of Orbit-A
is about<em>  5.2</em>  times as long as the period of Orbit-C .

Orbital period ≈ (proportional to) (the orbital distance) ^ 3/2 power.

This was empirically demonstrated about 350 years ago by Johannes
and his brilliant Kepple, and derived about 100 years later by Newton
from his formula for the forces of gravity.

<span>A baseball speeds up as it falls through the air.
Yes.  Forces on the balloon are unbalanced. 
The balloon is speeding up, so we know that the downward force
of gravity is stronger than the upward force of air resistance.

A soccer ball is at rest on the ground.
No. The ball is not accelerating, so we know that the forces on it
are balanced.
The downward force of gravity on the ball and the upward force
of the ground are equal.


An ice skater glides in a straight line at a constant speed.
No. The skater's speed and direction are not changing, so he is not
accelerating.  That tells us that the forces on him are balanced.

A bumper car hit by another car moves off at an angle.
Yes.  The direction in which the car was moving changed. 
That's acceleration, so we know that the forces on it are unbalanced,
at least at the moment of impact. 

A balloon flies across the room when the air is released.
Yes.  The balloon was not moving. But when the little nozzle was
opened, it started to zip around the room.  So its speed changed.
And, as it goes bloozing around the room, its direction keeps changing too. 
There's a whole lot of acceleration going on, so we know the forces on it
are unbalanced.</span>

igor_vitrenko [27]
Remember what acceleration is? It's how fast the speed is changing over a period of time.

a =  \frac{dv}{dt}

So in dt = 2 secs, she sped up from 6 to 10 m/s and so dv = (10-6) m/s.

Now that you know dv and dt, you can calculate the acceleration a!

Evgen [1.6K]

Current = (voltage) / (resistance)

Current= (3.0volts) / (9.8 ohms)  =<em>  0.306 ampere</em> = 306 milliamperes (mA)
