Answer:
2.83
Explanation:
Kepler's discovered that the square of the orbital period of a planet is proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis of its orbit, that is called Kepler's third law of planet motion and can be expressed as:
(1)
with T the orbital period, M the mass of the sun, G the Cavendish constant and a the semi major axis of the elliptical orbit of the planet. By (1) we can see that orbital period is independent of the mass of the planet and depends of the semi major axis, rearranging (1):
(2)
Because in the right side of the equation (2) we have only constant quantities, that implies the ratio 
is constant for all the planets orbiting the same sun, so we can said that:
Geometrically, a screw can be viewed as a narrow inclined plane wrapped around a cylinder. Like the other simple machines a screw can amplify force; a small rotational force (torque) on the shaft can exert a large axial force on a load.
Answer:
The new kinetic energy would be 16 times greater than before.
Explanation:
Kinetic energy is found using this formula:
- KE = 1/2mv²
- where KE = kinetic energy (J), m = mass (kg), and v = velocity (m/s)
We can see that kinetic energy is directly proportional to the square of the velocity, meaning that if the speed was increased by 4 times, then the kinetic energy would get increased by a factor of 16.
The velocity just before the ball hits the ground can be found by the equation:
Let's substitute h = 10 m and h = 40 m into this formula.
We can see that the velocity increases by a factor of 4 (10 m → 40 m).
Therefore, this means that the kinetic energy would also be increased by a factor of (4)² = 16. Thus, the answer is D) The new kinetic energy would be 16 times greater than before.
