Answer:

The distance from the Sun to Neptune is 29,41 AU.

Explanation:

We know, from the sentence, that the orbit of Neptune has an average diameter around 8.80*10⁹km.

Now, we can calculate the radius of this orbit, which is equivalent to the distance from thsi planet to the Sun. Let's recall tha the radius is the half of the diameter.

R=\frac{8.80\cdot 10^{9}}{2}=4.4\cdot 10^{9}km=4.4\cdot 10^{12}m

Ok, we know that 1.496*10¹¹m is an AU, therefore we have:

4.4\cdot 10^{12}m\cdot \frac{1 AU}{1.496\cdot 10^{11}}=29,41 AU

Finally, the distance R is 29,41 AU.

I hope it helps you! :)

The air pressure inside the tube of a car tire is 430 kPa at a temperature of 13.0 °C. What is the pressure of the air, if the t
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

The pressure of the air is 499.91 kPa.

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial pressure = 430 kPa

Temperature = 13.0+273=286 K

Final temperature = 59.5+273=332.5 K

We need to calculate the final pressure

Using relation of pressure and temperature

At constant volume,

\dfrac{P'}{P}=\dfrac{T'}{T}

\dfrac{P'}{430}=\dfrac{332.5}{286}

P'=\dfrac{332.5}{286}\times430

P'=499.91\ kPa

Hence,The pressure of the air is 499.91 kPa.
