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)

Which transformation of energy occurs in a hydroelectric power plant? A. Potential to chemical energy B. Chemical to potential e
motikmotik

The correct answer to the question is D). Kinetic to electrical.

EXPLANATION:

Hydro electric power plants are the electricity generation plants which capture the energy of falling water to produce current.

The water present at the top of a dam has potential energy. When the water is allowed to fall from certain height, the potential energy of the water is converted into kinetic energy.

The falling water moving with high speed is allowed to fall on a turbine. The kinetic energy of the water will rotate the turbine. The turbine is attached to a generator which will produce electricity due to the electromagnetic induction.

Hence, we see that the kinetic energy of the water is converted into electric energy.

c. Wind power can turn turbines to generate electrical power.

Explanation:

The correct statement of all is that wind power can turn turbines to generate electrical power.

This is simply the way wind energy from waves are usually harnessed to produce electricity.

  • When a metallic conductor passes in between magnetic fields, it induces and generates electricity as it turns.
  • This is how electricity generating plants are fashioned.
  • Geothermal energy is not generated from moving water. It is produced from heat within the earth brought to the surface. Power from moving water is hydroelectric power.
  • Oil is a non-renewable resource
  • Propane is a non-renewable resource

If a net force acting on a moving object causes its speed to increase, what
Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

It increases.

Explanation:

If a force acts in the same direction as the object's motion, then the force speeds the object up. Either way, a force will change the velocity of an object. And if the velocity of the object is changed, then the momentum of the object is changed.

A uniform sphere (I = 2/5 MR 2 ) rolls down an incline. (a) What must be the incline angle if the linear acceleration of the cen
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

Part a)

\theta = 8.05 degree

Part b)

a = 1.37 m/s^2

Explanation:

As the uniform sphere is rolling down the inclined plane then the net force on the sphere is given as

mg sin\theta - F_f = ma

also we have torque equation on it

F_f R = I\alpha

for pure rolling

a = R \alpha

F_f = \frac{Ia}{R^2}

now we have

mg sin\theta = ma + \frac{Ia}{R^2}

now we have

mg sin\theta = (m + \frac{2}{5}m)a

a = \frac{5}{7}g sin\theta

now given that

a = 0.10 g

so we have

0.10 g = \frac{5}{7} g sin\theta

sin\theta = 0.14

\theta = 8.05 degree

Part b)

If the inclined plane is frictionless then the acceleration is given as

a = g sin\theta

a = 9.8(0.14)

a = 1.37 m/s^2
