There’s frictional force acting on the sphere, which causes it to gradually slow down, and eventually come to a stop.

A silica-rich igneous rock that has large crystals and makes up much of the continental crust is ________

Oxana [17]

A silica-rich igneous rock that has large crystals and makes up much of the continental crust is called granite. These rocks are usually pink, gray or white in color depending on the minerals found on the rock. Generally, granite would have a range of 20% to 60% by volume of quartz and a minimum of 35% feldspar. This rock is a result from volcanic arcs and from the collision of continental masses. Due to its abundance, it has been used in a number of applications. It is used as an aggregate and filler in roading and construction industries. It is also cut and polished to be used in foyers, building facings, bench counters and tops.

The Earth revolves around the Sun once a year at an average distance of 1.50×1011m. Find the orbital radius that corresponds to

DedPeter [7]

Answer:

$9.4\cdot 10^{10} m$

Explanation:

We can solve the problem by using Kepler's third law, which states that the ratio between the cube of the orbital radius and the square of the orbital period is constant for every object orbiting the Sun. So we can write

$\frac{r_a^3}{T_a^2}=\frac{r_e^3}{T_e^2}$
