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

Imagine a system where a block rests on an inclined plane. The block is then given an initial push so that it starts sliding dow
Helen [10]

Answer:

statement - 'The work done by friction is equal to the sum of the work done by the gravity and the initial push' is correct.

Explanation:

The statement ''The work done by friction is equal to the sum of the work done by the gravity and the initial push" is correct.

The above statement is correct because, the initial push will tend to slide down the block thus the work done by the initial push will be in the downward direction. Also, the gravity always acts in the downward direction. thus, the work done done by the gravity will also be in the downward direction

here, the downward direction signifies the downward motion parallel to the inclined plane.

Now we know that the work done by the friction is against the direction of motion. Thus, the friction force will tend to move the block up parallel to the inclined plane.

Hence, for the block to stop sliding the the above statement should be true.

statuscvo [17]

Answer:

16. 68.18 Km/h

17. 3 miles.

Explanation:

16. Determination of the speed

Distance travelled = 150 Km

Time = 2.2 hours

Speed =?

Speed is simply defined as the distance travelled with time. Mathematically, it is expressed as:

Speed = Distance / time

With the above formula, we can obtain the speed as follow:

Distance travelled = 150 Km

Time = 2.2 hours

Speed =?

Speed = Distance /time

Speed = 150 / 2.2

Speed = 68.18 Km/h

17. Determination of the distance.

Speed = 3 mph

Time = 1 hour

Distance =?

Speed = Distance /time

3 = distance / 1

Distance = 3 miles

Bernice draws an oxygen atom. She draws a small circle for the nucleus. Inside of the circle, she draws plus signs for protons a
Lelu [443]

Answer

It should be A and C

Explanation:

because oxygen is number 8 in the periodic table of elements and has a atomic weight of 15.999 you use those numbers to figure out what is true between those.

The 8 for oxygen goes for the number of electrons and proton and to find neutrons u round the 15.999 up which now make it 16 and subtract it by the 8 now you have 8 protons, 8 neutrons, and 8 electrons
