The Kepler's laws predict the planetary motion, so there are three laws for this, namely:

1. The orbit of a planet is an ellipse with the Sun (the sun is a star!) at one of the two focus.

2. A line segment joining a planet and the Sun sweeps out equal areas during equal intervals of time.

3. The square of the orbital period of a planet is proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis of its orbit.

So, let's use second law. The Sun sweeps out equal areas during equal intervals of time means that if A = B, the time the planet takes to travel A1A2 is equal to the time the planet takes to travel B1B2, but given that A = 2B, then takes twice the time to travel A1A2 compared to B1B2.

A plane electromagnetic wave travels northward. At one instant, its electric field has a magnitude of 3.7 V/m and points eastwar
UNO [17]

Answer:

Magnetic field, B = 1.24\times 10^{-8}\ T (eastwards)

Explanation:

Given that,

The magnitude of electric field, E = 3.7 V/m

A plane electromagnetic wave travels northward. We need to find the magnitude and direction of the magnetic field at this instant.

The relation between the magnetic field and the electric field of the plane electromagnetic wave is given by :

B=\dfrac{E}{c}

c is the speed of light

B=\dfrac{3.7}{3\times10^8}\\\\B=1.24\times 10^{-8}\ T

So, the magnetic field is 1.24\times 10^{-8}\ T. The direction of magnetic field is perpendicular to the electric field and the direction of wave propagation. Hence, the direction of magnetic field is eastward.

You have a rock sample and analyze it for the presence of radioactive isotopes in order to determine when it was formed. You fin
Firdavs [7]

Answer:

the decay of half of the nuclei only a half-life has passed ,  b) in rock time it is 1 108 years

Explanation:

The radioactive decay is given by

         N = N₀ e^{\lambda t}

If half of the atoms have decayed

       ½ N₀ = N₀ e^{\lambda t}

       ½ = e^{\lambda t} ₀

       Ln 0.5 = - λ t

       t = - ln 0.5 /λ

The definition of average life time is

      T_{1/2}= ln 2 / λ

       λ = ln 2 /  T_{1/2}

       λ = 0.693 / 100 10⁶

       λ = 0.693 10⁻⁸ years

We replace

       t = -ln 0.5 / 0.693 10⁻⁸

       t = 10⁸ years

We see that for the decay of half of the nuclei only a half-life has passed

b) in rock time it is 1 108 years
