Answer:

Explanation:

We know that,

Neptune is 4.5×10^9 km from the sun

And given that,

Earth is 1.5×10^8km from sun

Then,

Let P be the orbital period and

Let a be the semi-major axis

Using Keplers third law

Then, the relation between the orbital period and the semi major axis is

P² ∝ a³

Then,

P² = ka³

P²/a³ = k

So,

P(earth)²/a(earth)³ = P(neptune)² / a(neptune)³

Period of earth P(earth) =1year

Semi major axis of earth is

a(earth) = 1.5×10^8km

The semi major axis of Neptune is

a (Neptune) = 4.5×10^9km

So,

P(E)²/a(E)³ = P(N)² / a(N)³

1² / (1.5×10^8)³ = P(N)² / (4.5×10^9)³

Cross multiply

P(N)² = (4.5×10^9)³ / (1.5×10^8)³

P(N)² = 27000

P(N) =√27000

P(N) = 164.32years

The period of Neptune is 164.32years

ololo11 [35]

Answer:

i'm not sure if you are asking as a  personal question or a book question so i'm taking it personal.

Explanation:

I was doing a simple task that was handed to me to test my responsibility and I agreed (knowing i am responsible :3). my first thought was "man , this is easy!" but then i started seeing the other kids slaking off and quiting their tasks. I thought that was against the rules, but then i saw my bff doing it too and i thought "this should be ok then!" so i did the same. other kids where still doing it. the teacher came, saw the ones still working and smiled... but when the teacher looked at the ones slaking off omg... his face was like * im gonna kill yall* we took one big gulp and whined. the teacher awarded the ones who completed the task... the others , we had to do our original task but doubled... for 3 weeks!!! it was awful!!!

I WOULD NEVER DO THAT AGAIN!!!

Summarize Newton's three laws of motion
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

In the first law, an object will not change its motion unless a force acts on it. In the second law, the force on an object is equal to its mass times its acceleration. In the third law, when two objects interact, they apply forces to each other of equal magnitude and opposite direction.
