If earth increase the distance from the sun, what will happen to the period of orbi t(the time it takes to complete one revoluti
1 answer:
The period of the orbit would increase as well
Explanation:
We can answer this question by applying Kepler's third law, which states that:
"The square of the orbital period of a planet around the Sun is proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis of its orbit"
Mathematically,
Where
T is the orbital period
a is the semi-major axis of the orbit
In this problem, the question asks what happens if the distance of the Earth from the Sun increases. Increasing this distance means increasing the semi-major axis of the orbit, : but as we saw from the previous equation, the orbital period of the Earth is proportional to
, therefore as
increases, T increases as well.
Therefore, the period of the orbit would increase.

Answer:
You will hear the note E₆
Explanation:
We know that:
Your speed = 88m/s
Original frequency = 1,046 Hz
Sound speed = 340 m/s
The Doppler effect says that:
Where:
f = original frequency
f' = new frequency
v = velocity of the sound wave
v0 = your velocity
vs = velocity of the source, in this case, the source is the diva, we assume that she does not move, so vs = 0.
Replacing the values that we know in the equation we have:
This frequency is close to the note E₆ (1,318.5 Hz)
