The earth takes 1 year to revolve around the sun at 1 A.U. distance (an astronomical unit = 93,000,000 miles). If a planet were

4 A.U. from the sun, how many years would it take to make 1 orbit?

Kepler's third law states that the square of the orbital period is proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis of its orbit. In equation form, P^2 / a^3 = constant. For the earth, (1 y)^2 / (1 AU)^3 = 1, so the constant is 1. For a planet 4 AU from the sun:
P^2 / (4 AU)^3 = 1P^2 = 64P = 8 years

Letter C on the map labels which feature of the Middle East?
likoan [24]

Honest, the map is so tiny, and so fuzzy when I blow it up, I really can't see anything on it clearly.  But I think maybe I do see a letter ' C ' in the eastern Mediterranean, with a curved line over to the southern Gaza strip, where it meets Sinai.  So I'll say it's the Gaza Strip.

A mass is oscillating with amplitude A at the end of a spring.
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

A) x=\pm \frac{A}{2\sqrt{2}}

The total energy of the system is equal to the maximum elastic potential energy, that is achieved when the displacement is equal to the amplitude (x=A):

E=\frac{1}{2}kA^2 (1)

where k is the spring constant.

The total energy, which is conserved, at any other point of the motion is the sum of elastic potential energy and kinetic energy:

E=U+K=\frac{1}{2}kx^2+\frac{1}{2}mv^2 (2)

where x is the displacement, m the mass, and v the speed.

We want to know the displacement x at which the elastic potential energy is 1/3 of the kinetic energy:

U=\frac{1}{3}K

Using (2) we can rewrite this as

U=\frac{1}{3}(E-U)=\frac{1}{3}E-\frac{1}{3}U\\U=\frac{E}{4}

And using (1), we find

U=\frac{E}{4}=\frac{\frac{1}{2}kA^2}{4}=\frac{1}{8}kA^2

Substituting U=\frac{1}{2}kx^2 into the last equation, we find the value of x:

\frac{1}{2}kx^2=\frac{1}{8}kA^2\\x=\pm \frac{A}{2\sqrt{2}}

B) x=\pm \frac{3}{\sqrt{10}}A

In this case, the kinetic energy is 1/10 of the total energy:

K=\frac{1}{10}E

Since we have

K=E-U

we can write

E-U=\frac{1}{10}E\\U=\frac{9}{10}E

And so we find:

\frac{1}{2}kx^2 = \frac{9}{10}(\frac{1}{2}kA^2)=\frac{9}{20}kA^2\\x^2 = \frac{9}{10}A^2\\x=\pm \frac{3}{\sqrt{10}}A

AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

A) 1568.60 Hz

B) 1437.15 Hz

Explanation:

This change is frequency happens due to doppler effect

The Doppler effect is the change in frequency of a wave in relation to an observer who is moving relative to the wave source

f_(observed)=\frac{(c+-V_r)}{(C+-V_s)} *f_(emmited)\\

where

C = the propagation speed of waves in the medium;

Vr= is the speed of the receiver relative to the medium,(added to C, if the receiver is moving towards the source, subtracted if the receiver is moving away from the source;

Vs= the speed of the source relative to the medium, added to C, if the source is moving away from the receiver, subtracted if the source is moving towards the receiver.

A) Here the Source is moving towards the receiver(C-Vs)

and the receiver is standing still (Vr=0) therefore the observed frequency should get higher

f_(observed)=\frac{C}{C-V_s} *f_(emmited)\\=\frac{343}{343-15}*1500\\ =1568.60 Hz

B)Here the Source is moving away the receiver(C+Vs)

and the receiver is still not moving (Vr=0) therefore the observed frequency should be lesser

f_(observed)=\frac{C}{C+V_s} *f_(emmited)\\=\frac{343}{343+15}*1500\\ =1437.15 Hz

Why is Pluto no longer a planet?
Step2247 [10]
The International Astronomical Union (IAU) downgraded the status of Pluto to that of a dwarf planet because it did not meet the three criteria the IAU uses to define a full-sized planet. Essentially Pluto meets all the criteria except one—it “has not cleared its neighboring region of other objects.
