<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.

Julie is cycling at a speed of 3.4 meters/second. If the combined mass of the bicycle and Julie is 30 kilograms, what is the kin
Anon25 [30]
Velocity=3.4m/sec
Mass=30kg
so kinetic energy=1/2mv^2
=1/2×30×3.4×3.4
=15×3.4×3.4
=15×11.56
=173.4 kg m per second square

In an engine, a piston oscillates with simple harmonic motion so that its position varies according to the expression x= 5.0 cos
lakkis [162]

Answer:

a)   x = 4.33 m ,   b)  w = 2 rad / s ,  f = 0.318 Hz ,  c) a = - 17.31 cm / s²,  

d) T =  3.15 s,  e)  A = 5.0 cm

Explanation:

In this exercise on simple harmonic motion we are given the expression for motion

          x = 5 cos (2t + π / 6)

they ask us for t = 0

a) the position of the particle

      x = 5 cos (π / 6)

      x = 4.33 m

remember angles are in radians

 

b) The general form of the equation is

          x = A cos (w t + Ф)

when comparing the two equations

         w = 2 rad / s

angular velocity and frequency are related

          w = 2π f

           f = w / 2π

           f = 2 / 2pi

           f = 0.318 Hz

c) the acceleration is defined by

      a == d²x / dt²

      a = - A w² cos (wt + Ф)

for t = 0 ,  we substitute

      a = - 5,0 2² cos (π / 6)

      a = - 17.31 cm / s²

d) El period is

          T = 1/f

         T= 1/0.318

         T =  3.15 s

e) the amplitude

        A = 5.0 cm

A man pushes a box along a flat, frictionless surface using a force of 500 N. The box was moved a distance of 2.5 m. The actual
andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

Workdone = 1250Nm

Explanation:

<u>Given the following data;</u>

Force, F = 500N

Distance, d = 2.5m

Workdone is given by the formula;

Workdone = force * distance

Substituting into the equation, we have

Workdone = 500 * 2.5  

Workdone = 1250Nm

Therefore, the actual work done by the worker is 1250 Newton-meter.

When an apple is cut, it often turns brown. What does the color change indicate?
IrinaK [193]

When an apple is cut (or bruised), oxygen is introduced into the injured plant tissue. When oxygen is present in cells, polyphenol oxidase (PPO) enzymes in the chloroplasts rapidly oxidize phenolic compounds naturally present in the apple tissues to o-quinones, colorless precursors to brown-colored secondary products. so it will be c
