How to calculate the orbital period of Mercury

Biology
2 answers:
Trava [24]2 years ago

Orbital period is the <span> time taken for a given object to make one complete </span>orbit around another object. Mercury orbits the Sun in 88 days. Therefore, Mercury's orbital period is calculated by (88/365.25) or .241 Earth years. Hope this answers the question.

Orbital period of mercury can be calculated using the third law of Kepler which states that period squared equals to distance cubed, that is, (T1/T2)^2 = (a1/a2)^3 Where T1 is the orbital period of mercury, T2 is the earth orbital period and is equal to 1 year, that is, 365.25 days. a1 is the mercury axis and is equal to 0.39AU while a2 is the earth axis and is equal to 1AU. T^2 = (0.39)^3 = 0.059319 Therefore, T1 = 88 days.

Which statement is FALSE?Question 39 options: Water can hold an unlimited amount of oxygen. Water can hold less oxygen than air
algol13

Answer: Water can hold an unlimited amount of oxygen.

Explanation:

Water cannot hold an unlimited amount of oxygen because it would get to a point where it is saturated as it needs to hold Hydrogen as well. Air on the other hand, has significantly more space for oxygen as it contains only 21% and can keep taking more.

Underwater organisms need oxygen for respiration and a small decrease in the oxygen available in water affects aquatic life because they rely on it to survive.
