Kepler’s third law formula: T^2=4pi^2*r^3/(GM)

We’re trying to find M, so:

M=4pi^2*r^3/(G*T^2)

M=4pi^2*(1.496 × 10^11 m)^3/((6.674× 10^-11N*m^2/kg^2)*(365.26days)^2)

M=1.48× 10^40(m^3)/((N*m^2/kg^2)*days^2))

Let’s work with the units:

(m^3)/((N*m^2/kg^2)*days^2))=

=(m^3*kg^2)/(N*m^2*days^2)

=(m*kg^2)/(N*days^2)

=(m*kg^2)/((kg*m/s^2)*days^2)

=(kg)/(days^2/s^2)

=(kg*s^2)/(days^2)

So:

M=1.48× 10^40(kg*s^2)/(days^2)

Now we need to convert days to seconds in order to cancel them:

1 day=24 hours=24*60minutes=24*60*60s=86400s

M=1.48× 10^40(kg*s^2)/((86400s)^2)

M=1.48× 10^40(kg*s^2)/( 86400^2*s^2)

M=1.48× 10^40kg/86400^2

M=1.98x10^30kg

The closest answer is 1.99 × 10^30

(it may vary a little with rounding – the difference is less than 1%)

soldier1979 [14.2K]

Scientists measure the time between the arrival of an earthquake's __P____ and ___S____ waves to help determine the distance between the recording seismograph and the earthquake epicenter.

Explanation:

P- (compressional) and S- (shear) waves produced in earthquakes travel at different speeds. P waves are faster than S waves and hence will be detected first by a seismograph after an earthquake. The further away a seismograph is from the epicenter of an earthquake,  the longer the time difference between the two (2) waves will be.

Using several, at least 3, seismographs located at different geoghraphical locations and detecting earthquakes, geologists can extrapolate the epicenter of an earthquake using the time differences in arrivals of the two waves in each of the seismographs, using the mathematics of triangulation.

The planet in our solar system whose orbit actually brings it inside the orbit of another planet is
Ber [7]

Answer:

Pluto

Explanation:

In our solar system, we have several planet. Pluto is one of the. Pluto is a planet that is highly oval shaped orbit and eccentric that brings it inside the another orbit. It get inside the orbit of Neptune. Sometimes even Neptune get far away from sun in comparison to the dwarf planet Pluto.

It is very strange happening in the world of planet. it occurs in the year of 1979 and 1999. But Pluto never ever crashed into Neptune. It happen because Neptune takes every three lapse that takes around the sun but Pluto makes only two lapse. This happening prevents two bodies from clashes.

Mama L [17]

Answer:1). Distance of far point x=0.9m

Therefore, since the image is virtual

-f=-x = -0.9m

Power of the concave lenses = 1/f = 1/-0.9

= -1.11D

2 ) near point is 21cm = 0.21m

Power = 4-1/near point

= 4/0.21

= 14.2D.
