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

1 answer:

6 0

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

If that's the real question, then the answer is that the period of Orbit-A
is about 5.2 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.

What . Slides are placed upside down in a slide projector to correct for the _______ image produced. A. magnified B. inverted C.

Yuri [45]

The correct answer is B. Inverted image. This is because of all the lenses and light refractions and what not. The same things happens with our eyes except our brains fix the inverted image automatically. Since there are no brains in a projector, you have to fix it on your own by putting it in reverse.

A solid ball is released from rest and slides down a hillside that slopes downward at 65.0" from the horizontal

PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Setting reference frame so that the x axis is along the incline and y is perpendicular to the incline
X: mgsin65 - F = mAx 
Y: N - mgcos65 = 0 (N is the normal force on the incline) N = mgcos65 (which we knew) 
Moment about center of mass: 
Fr = Iα 
Now Ax = rα 
and F = umgcos65 
mgsin65 - umgcos65 = mrα -------------> gsin65 - ugcos65 = rα (this is the X equation m's cancel) 
umgcos65(r) = 0.4mr^2(α) -----------> ugcos65(r) = 0.4r(rα) (This is the moment equation m's cancel) 
ugcos65(r) = 0.4r(gsin65 - ugcos65) ( moment equation subbing in X equation for rα) 
ugcos65 = 0.4(gsin65 - ugcos65) 
1.4ugcos65 = 0.4gsin65 
1.4ucos65 = 0.4sin65 
u = 0.4sin65/1.4cos65 
u = 0.613

How long does it take light from a camera to travel to the face of someone standing 7 meters away?

mestny [16]

The time taken for the light to travel from the camera to someone standing 7 m away is 2.33×10¯⁸ s

Speed is simply defined as the distance travelled per unit time. Mathematically, it is expressed as:

<h3>Speed = distance / time </h3>

With the above formula, we can obtain the time taken for the light to travel from the camera to someone standing 7 m away. This can be obtained as follow:

Distance = 7 m

Speed of light = 3×10⁸ m/s

Time = Distance / speed

Time = 7 / 3×10⁸

Therefore, the time taken for the light to travel from the camera to someone standing 7 m away is 2.33×10¯⁸ s

A drop of oil of volume 10m it spread out on water to make a circular firm of radius 10m calculate the tickness of the firm

Effectus [21]

Answer:

h = 3.1 cm

Explanation:

Given that,

The volume of a oil drop, V = 10 m

Radius, r = 10 m

We need to find the thickness of the film. The film is in the form of a cylinder whose volume is as follows :

$V=\pi r^2 h\\\\h=\dfrac{V}{\pi r^2}\\\\h=\dfrac{10}{\pi \times 10^2}\\\\h=0.031\ m\\\\h=3.1\ cm$

So, the thickness of the film is equal to 3.1 cm.
