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)

Two skaters stand facing each other. One skater's mass is 60 kg, and the other's
jeyben [28]

Answer:

v' = 2.4 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of one skater, m = 60 kg

Mass of the other's skater, m' = 60 kg

The two skaters push off each other. After the push, the smaller  skater has a velocity of 3.0 m/s.

When there is no external force acting on a system, the momentum remains conserved. It means initial momentum is equal to the final momentum. Let v' is the velocity of the larger skater.

mv = m'v'

v'=\dfrac{mv}{m'}\\\\v'=\dfrac{60\times 3}{75}\\\\v'=2.4\ m/s

So, the velocity of the larger skater is 2.4 m/s.

A 5 kg book falls from a shelf. If it lands at a speed of 5.7 m/s, from what height did it fall?
Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

57m

Explanation:

speed = 5.7m/s

or 57/10 m/s

so definitely the time taken will be 10 secs

so speed = distance/time taken

5.7= distance/10

distance = 5.7× 10

Distance = 57m

Rotor windings in wound rotor motors are connected to ? on the shaft of the motor. Brushes allow those windings to be connected
Mashutka [201]

Answer:

Slip Rings

Explanation:

The wound rotor motor has a three-phase winding with each one connected to seperate slip rings. These slip rings contain brushes which form a secondary circuit where resistance can be inserted and this will allow for the rotor current to run more in phase with the stator current which will result in increased torque that is created

Differentiate between:<br><br>a. Compression and Rarefaction<br>​
zlopas [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

Compression

The region in a medium where the distance between the vibrating molecules is minimum is compression.

This is the region with higher air pressure than the surrounding .

Rarefaction

The region in a medium where the distance between the vibrating molecules is maximum is rarefaction.

This is the region with relatively low air pressure.

hope it helps :)

antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

Both balls have the same speed.

Explanation:

Janelle throws the two balls from the same height, with the same speed. Both balls will have the same potential and kinetic energy. Energy must be conserved. When the balls pass Michael, again they must have the same potential and kinetic energy.
