Answer:

D. 2^(3/2)

Explanation:

Given that

T² = A³

Let the mean distance between the sun and planet Y be x

Therefore,

T(Y)² = x³

T(Y) = x^(3/2)

Let the mean distance between the sun and planet X be x/2

Therefore,

T(Y)² = (x/2)³

T(Y) = (x/2)^(3/2)

The factor of increase from planet X to planet Y is:

T(Y) / T(X) = x^(3/2) / (x/2)^(3/2)

T(Y) / T(X) = (2)^(3/2)

In the modern atomic model the number of ________ in a neutral atom is the same as the number of protons.
MrRissso [65]

In the modern atomic model the number of electrons in a neutral atom is the same as the number of protons.

An atom contain, three fundamental particles, electron, proton, and neutron, neutron is charge less, there the charge of the atom is determined by the number of proton, and number of electron, Atoms are electrically neutral, it is only possible when number of electrons in an atom is equal to the number of proton.

A butcher has a beam balance and masses 0.5kg and 2kg.How would he measure 1.5kg of meat on the balance at once
LekaFEV [45]

Answer and Explanation:

  • The butcher will balance the meat and the 0.5 kg mass on one side of the beam balance and 2 kg mass on the other side of the beam balance.
  • By so doing, when the beam balances then the amount of meat measured will be exactly 1.5 kg as required. Since the 1.5 kg meat and 0.5 kg mass is equivalent to the 2 kg on the other side of the beam balance.
