<span>Venus goes around faster than Earth, so its period must be less than Earths 1.0 years. That eliminates the first two answers. My recollection is that T^2 = k r^3, relating period of orbit to radius, so T should be (0.72/1.00)^3/2 = 0.61 of the Earths period, so 0.62 is ans. </span>

Answer: 0.39 years (Venus orbits the Sun in 0.62 Earth years)

Explanation:

The orbital period is related to the distance of the planet from the star as:

T² = R³

where T is in years and R is in AU.

<u>Orbital period of Venus:</u>

T² = (0.72)³

⇒ T = 0.62 years

<u>Orbital period of Earth </u>

T² = (1.0)³

⇒T = 1 year

The difference between the orbital periods of Venus and Earth is: (1 -0.62) = 0.38 years. Venus orbits the Sun in 0.62 Earth years.

F all of the energy in a falling object's gravitational potential energy store is transferred to its kinetic energy store by the
stepladder [879]

Answer:

The options are not shown, so let's derive the relationship.

For an object that is at a height H above the ground, and is not moving, the potential energy will be:

U = m*g*H

where m is the mass of the object, and g is the gravitational acceleration.

Now, the kinetic energy of an object can be written as:

K = (1/2)*m*v^2

where v is the velocity.

Now, when we drop the object, the potential energy begins to transform into kinetic energy, and by the conservation of the energy, by the moment that H is equal to zero (So the potential energy is zero) all the initial potential energy must now be converted into kinetic energy.

Uinitial = Kfinal.

m*g*H = (1/2)*m*v^2

v^2 = 2*g*H

v = √(2*g*H)

So we expressed the final velocity (the velocity at which the object impacts the ground) in terms of the height, H.

The masses of the Moon and Earth are 7.35 x 1022 kg and 5.97 x 1024 kg, respectively. The strength of the gravitational force be
bixtya [17]

Answer:

Distance between centre of Earth and centre of Moon is 3.85 x 10⁸ m

Explanation:

The attractive force experienced by two mass objects is known as Gravitational force.

The gravitational force is determine by the relation:

F=\frac{Gm_{1} m_{2} }{d^{2} }      ....(1)

According to the problem,

Mass of Moon, m₁ = 7.35 x 10²² kg

Mass of Earth, m₂ = 5.97 x 10²⁴ kg

Gravitational force experienced by them, F = 1.98 x 10²⁰ N

Universal gravitational constant, G = 6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ Nm²kg⁻²

Substitute these values in equation (1).

1.98\times10^{20} =\frac{6.67\times10^{-11}\times7.35\times10^{22}\times5.97\times10^{24} }{d^{2} }

d^{2}=\frac{2.93\times10^{37}}{1.98\times10^{20}}

d=\sqrt{1.48\times10^{17}}

d = 3.85 x 10⁸ m
