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)

Nuclear _________ reactions convert protons into helium; thus, becoming the source of all energy radiated by the sun. A) fission
Bogdan [553]

Nuclear fusion reactions convert protons into helium; thus, becoming the source of all energy radiated by the sun.

Answer: Option D

<u>Explanation:</u>

Nuclear fusion reaction is one among the two nuclear reactions in which the atoms nucleus interact with each other to produce the products. In nuclear fusion, two smaller atoms react together to form a new atom with bigger size.

So large amount of energy is required to start the nuclear fusion reaction. The fusion reactions mostly occurs in stars. The illumination in Stars even the Sun is due to nuclear fusion reaction occurring with the atoms present in them.

Mostly the energy radiated by Sun is due to the protons-protons chain reaction. In this chain reaction, the protons get converted into helium due to nuclear fusion reaction, thus becoming the source of all energy radiated by the Sun.

Suppose an object is launched from a point 320 feet above the earth with an initial velocity of 128 ft/sec upward, and the only
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

(a)Therefore the highest altitude attained by the object is =576 ft .

(b)Therefore the object takes 6 sec to fall to the ground.

Explanation:

Initial velocity: Initial velocity is a velocity from which an object starts to move.

u is usually used for notation of initial notation.

Final velocity: Final velocity is a velocity of an object after certain second from starting.

The final velocity is denoted by v.

Acceleration: The difference of final velocity and initial velocity per unit time

The S.I unit of acceleration is m/s².

(a)

Given that u= 128 ft\sec and g = 32 ft/sec².

At highest point the velocity of the object is 0 i.e v=0

Since the displacement is opposite to the gravity.

Therefore acceleration( a)= -g = -32 ft/sec².

To find the time this to happen we use the following formula

v=u+at

Here v=0

⇒0=128+(-32) t

⇒32t=128

⇒t = 4 sec

To determine the height we use the following formula

s=ut+\frac{1}{2} at^2

\Rightarrow s= (128\times4)+\frac{1}{2}\times (-32) \times4^2

⇒s= 256 ft

Therefore the highest altitude attained by the object is =(320+256)ft=576 ft .

(b)

At the highest point the velocity of the object is 0.

so u=0. a=g= 32 ft/sec²  [ since the direction of gravity and the displacement are same] s= 576 ft

To determine the time to fall we use the following formula

s=ut+\frac{1}{2} at^2

\Rightarrow 576 = (0\times t)+\frac{1}{2} \times 32 \times t^2

\Rightarrow 16\times t^2=576

\Rightarrow t^2=\frac{576}{16}

\Rightarrow t^2=36

⇒t=6 sec

Therefore the object takes 6 sec to fall to the ground.

How deep can an object with 6360N hitting on a sponge get ???
borishaifa [10]

Answer:

The sponge must go \dfrac{636}{m}\ \text{meter} deep

Explanation:

If F = 6360 N, then it is required to find how deep can an object with this force hitting on a sponge get.

We know that, F = mgh

m is mass

g is acceleration due to gravity

h=\dfrac{F}{mg}\\\\h=\dfrac{6360}{10m}\\\\h=\dfrac{636}{m}\ \text{meter}

So, the sponge must go \dfrac{636}{m}\ \text{meter} deep.

The magnitude of a vector can never be less than the magnitude of one of its components. Group of answer choices True False
pogonyaev

Answer:

True

Explanation:

As the formula for magnitude of a vector v and their components v_1, v_2, v_3, v_4,..., v_n is

v^2 = v_1^2 + v_2^2 + ... +v_n^2

Since v_1^2, v_2^2, v_3^2, v_4^2,..., v_n^2 \geq 0, this means the sum of them, v^2, is always greater or equal to v_1^2, v_2^2, v_3^2, v_4^2,..., v_n^2
