The astronomical unit or also know as AU. Scientists use this because it’s convenient and easier to understand! Hope this helps ;)
Explanation:
It is given that,
The time period of artificial satellite in a circular orbit of radius R is T. The relation between the time period and the radius is given by :

The radius of the orbit in which time period is 8T is R'. So, the relation is given by :



So, the radius of the orbit in which time period is 8T is 4R. Hence, this is the required solution.
I believe this topic is quantitative chemistry but I need the equation to work this out sorry
a. t=0.553 s
b. vox(horizontal speed) = 3.62 m/s
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Given
h = 1.5 m
x = 2 m
Required
a. time
b. vo=initial speed
Solution
Free fall motion
a. h = 1/2 gt²(vertical motion=h=voyt+1/2gt²⇒voy = 0)

t = √2h/g
t = √2.1.5/9.8
t=0.553 s
b. x=vox.t(horizontal motion)

vox=x/t
vox=2/0.553
vox=3.62 m/s
a) the kinetic energy decreases as in a gas, the particles are widespread and move freely but in a liquid, their movement is more limited
