According to the <u>Third Kepler’s Law of Planetary motion</u> “<em>The square of the orbital period of a planet is proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis (size) of its orbit”.</em>



In other words, this law states a relation between the orbital period T of a body (moon, planet, satellite) orbiting a greater body in space with the size a of its orbit.



This Law is originally expressed as follows:



<h2>T^{2} =\frac{4\pi^{2}}{GM}a^{3}    (1) </h2>

Where;


G is the Gravitational Constant and its value is 6.674(10^{-11})\frac{m^{3}}{kgs^{2}}



M=1.9(10^{27})kg is the mass of Jupiter


a=4.22(10^{5})km=4.22(10^{8})m  is the semimajor axis of the orbit Io describes around Jupiter (assuming it is a circular orbit, the semimajor axis is equal to the radius of the orbit)



If we want to find the period, we have to express equation (1) as written below and substitute all the values:



<h2>T=\sqrt{\frac{4\pi^{2}}{GM}a^{3}}    (2) </h2>

T=\sqrt{\frac{4\pi^{2}}{6.674(10^{-11})\frac{m^{3}}{kgs^{2}}1.9(10^{27})kg}(4.22(10^{8})m)^{3}}    



T=\sqrt{\frac{2.966(10^{27})m^{3}}{1.268(10^{17})m^{3}/s^{2}}}    



T=\sqrt{2.339(10^{10})s^{2}}    



Then:


<h2>T=152938.0934s    (3) </h2>

Which is the same as:



<h2>T=42.482h     </h2>

Therefore, the answer is:



The orbital period of Io is 42.482 h

At the Earth's surface, warm air expands and rises, creating
what is known as an area of low pressure.

Cold air is dense and sinks to the surface to create what is
known as an area of high pressure.</span>

Lasers can be constructed that produce an extremely high intensity electromagnetic wave for a brief time—called pulsed lasers. T
alex41 [277]

Answer:

30643 J

Explanation:

\mu_0 = Vacuum permeability = 4\pi \times 10^{-7}\ H/m

t = Time taken = 1 ns

c = Speed of light = 3\times 10^8\ m/s

E_0 = Maximum electric field strength = 1.52\times 10^{11}\ V/m

A = Area = 1\ mm^2

Magnitude of magnetic field is given by

B_0=\dfrac{E_0}{c}\\\Rightarrow B_0=\dfrac{1.52\times 10^{11}}{3\times 10^8}\\\Rightarrow B_0=506.67\ T

Intensity is given by

I=\dfrac{cB_0^2}{2\mu_0}\\\Rightarrow I=\dfrac{3\times 10^8\times 506.67^2}{2\times 4\pi \times 10^{-7}}\\\Rightarrow I=3.0643\times 10^{19}\ W/m^2

Power, intensity and time have the relation

E=IAt\\\Rightarrow E=3.0643\times 10^{19}\times 1\times 10^{-6}\times 1\times 10^{-9}\\\Rightarrow E=30643\ J

The energy it delivers is 30643 J

Although planets orbit the Sun in ellipses, all the planetary orbits are fairly close to circular and not very eccentric.
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

The Sun rotates in this same, right-hand-rule direction. All planetary orbits lie in nearly the same plane. All planetary orbits are nearly circular (eccentricity near zero).
