Kepler’s third law can be used to derive the relation between the orbital period, P (measured in days), and the semimajor axis,

A (measured in AU), of an orbiting body. The relation is given by the equation P2 = kA3, where k is a constant value for all bodies orbiting that star. The semimajor axis of Mars is 1.52 AU, and its orbital period is about 687 days. What is the value of the constant k?

Kepler's 3rd law is given as
P² = kA³
where
P = period, days
A = semimajor axis, AU
k = constant

Given:
P = 687 days
A = 1.52 AU

Therefore
k = P²/A³ = 687²/1.52³ = 1.3439 x 10⁵ days²/AU³

Answer:  1.3439 x 10⁵ (days²/AU³)

.You have always been impressed by the speed of the elevators in your apartment building. You wonder about the maximum accelerat
AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

5.51 m/s^2

Explanation:

Initial scale reading = 50 kg  

assume the greatest scale reading = 78.09 kg

<u>Determine the maximum acceleration for these elevators</u>

At rest the weight is = 50 kg

Weight ( F ) = mg = 50 * 9.81 = 490.5 N<u> </u>

<u> </u>At the 10th floor weight = 78.09 kg

Weight at 10th floor ( F ) = 78.09 * 9.81 = 766.11 N

F = change in weight

Change in weight( F ) = ma = 766.11 - 490.5 (we will take the mass as the starting mass as that mass is calculated when the body is at rest)

50 * a = 275.61

Hence the maximum acceleration ( a ) = 275.61 / 50 = 5.51 m/s^2

Which band of the electromagnetic spectrum has the lowest frequency
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

Radio waves

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves are produced by the oscillations of electric and magnetic field. They are transverse waves, which means that the oscillations occur in a direction perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave, and they are the only type of waves that can travel through a vacuum.

Electromagnetic waves are classified into 7 different types, depending on their frequencies. From lowest to highest frequencies, we have:

Radio waves

Microwaves

Infrared

Visible light

Ultraviolet

X-rays

Gamma rays

Radio waves are the electromagnetic waves with lowest frequency. They are used, for examples, for satellites, telecommunication, broadcasting.

Why do scientist use light years instead to measure space instead of kilometers?
IrinaK [193]
The reason scientists use light years instead of kilometres is becasue a light year is the distance traveled by light in one year, and if we actually did the math (ill just give it to you)9.4605289*10^{15} meters to put that into perspective a kilometer is 1000 meters or 1.0*10^{3} meters. if they mesured everything in kilometers they would have to use even bigger numbers than they already do.
