1. Is the sequence geometric? If so, identify the common ratio.

1 answer:

6 0

1) yes;2 6*2=12 12*2=24 24*2=48
2)Next Term (or nth term) = ar^n-1

a = first term, i.e. 5
r = common ratio i.e. 3 (as 15/5=3 and 45/15=3 
n = .. 
as you already have 1st , 2nd and 3rd terms
substituting now 
T4= ar^n-1 
= 5*3^4-1 
= 5*3^3 
= 5*27 
T4 = 135
T5= ar^n-1
= 5*3^5-1 
= 5*3^4 
= 5*81 
T5 = 405

In the simplified version of Kepler's third law, P 2 = a3, the units of the orbital period P and the semimajor axis a of the ell

Orlov [11]

Answer:

The units of the orbital period P is years and the units of the semimajor axis a is astronomical units.

Explanation:

P² = a³ is the simplified version of Kepler's third law which governs the orbital motion of large bodies that orbit around a star. The orbit of each planet is an ellipse with the star at the focal point.

Therefore, if you square the year of each planet and divide it by the distance that it is from the star, you will get the same number for all the other planets.

Thus, the units of the orbital period P is years and the units of the semimajor axis a is astronomical units.

Determine whether or not each of the following statement is true. If a statement is true, prove it. If the statement is false, p

Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

This is a representation of Gauss law.

Gauss’s law does hold for moving charges, and in this respect Gauss’s law is more general than Coulomb’s law. In words, Gauss’s law states that: The net outward normal electric flux through any closed surface is proportional to the total electric charge enclosed within that closed surface. The law can be expressed mathematically using vector calculus in integral form and differential form, both are equivalent since they are related by the divergence theorem, also called Gauss’s theorem.

A 49.0 kg wheel, essentially a thin hoop with radius 0.730 m, is rotating at 114 rev/min. It must be brought to a stop in 22.0 s

belka [17]

Explanation:

Mass of the wheel, m = 49 kg

Radius of the hoop, r = 0.73 m

Initial angular speed of the wheel, $\omega_i=114\ rev/min = 11.93\ rad/s$
