How long does it take mercury to orbit the sun?

Physics

Vikki [24]3 years ago

Mercury is the smallest planet of the eight planets and is made up of rock and metal. One year on Mercury is only 88 Earth days. That's how long it takes for Mercury to orbit the sun. Mercury rotates very slowly, so its days are very long. A day on Mercury is 59 Earth days.

That is called the "Revolution Period of a planet" and one year on mercury equals to 88 days as compared to Earth

In short, Your Answer would be 88

Hope this helps!

How would doubling the mass of Earth affect the gravity we experience?​
N76 [4]
The strength of the gravitational force between two objects depends on two factors, mass and distance. the force of gravity the masses exert on each other. If one of the masses is doubled, the force of gravity between the objects is doubled. increases, the force of gravity decreases.

A freight car moves along a friction less level railroad track at constant speed. The car is open on top. A large load of coal i
maxonik [38]

Answer:

The velocity of the freight car decreases.

Explanation:

This question is answered by the conservation of momentum principle.

When the freight car is moving at a certain speed, it has a constant momentum.

We will call this M1.

The equation for M1 will be:

M1 = Mass * Speed

Now when the coal is dumped into the freight car, the Mass increases.

Since conservation of momentum states that the momentum will remain the same. We have:

M1 = (Mass of freight + Mass of coal) * Speed

Since M1 is constant, if the mass increases, the speed had to decrease to keep the equation true.

Air "breaks down" when the electric field strength reaches 3 × 106 n/c, causing a spark. A parallel-plate capacitor is made from
Lera25 [3.4K]

Electric field between the plates of parallel plate capacitor is given as

E = \frac{Q}{A\epsilon_0}

here area of plates of capacitor is given as

A = 0.055 * 0.055

A = 3.025 * 10^{-3}

also the maximum field strength is given as

E = 3 * 10^6 N/C

now we will plug in all data to find the maximum possible charge on capacitor plates

3 * 10^6 = \frac{Q}{3.025 * 10^{-3}*8.85 * 10^{-12}}

Q = 8.03 * 10^{-8} C

so the maximum charge that plate will hold will be given by above
