According to Kepler's third law (p2 = a3), how does a planet's mass affect its orbit around the Sun? Group of answer choices

Physics

anyanavicka [17]3 years ago

Answer:

A planet's mass has no effect on its orbit around the Sun.

Explanation:

The kepler's third law tells us:

p^2=a^3

where p is the orbit period and a is the semi-major axis.

As we can see from the equation, the period depends only on the measure of the semi-major axis a of the orbit, that is, how far a planet is from the sun.

The equation tells us that the closer a planet is to the sun, the faster it will go around it.

The mass does not appear in the equation to calculate the period.

This is why it is concluded from the third law of Kepler that<u> the period, or the orbit of a planet around the sun, does not depend on its mass.</u>

the answer i: A planet's mass has no effect on its orbit around the Sun.

What conversion takes place in a generator?
Andrew [12]

Answer:

B. An electric current into a magnetic field

Explanation:

The generation of electrical power requires relative motion between a magnetic field and a conductor. In a generator, mechanical energy is converted into electrical energy. The electricity produced by most generators is in the form of alternating current.

A baseball m=.34kg is spun vertically on a massless string of length l=.52m. the string can only support a tension of tmax=9.9n
larisa86 [58]
<span>4.5 m/s This is an exercise in centripetal force. The formula is F = mv^2/r where m = mass v = velocity r = radius Now to add a little extra twist to the fun, we're swinging in a vertical plane so gravity comes into effect. At the bottom of the swing, the force experienced is the F above plus the acceleration due to gravity, and at the top of the swing, the force experienced is the F above minus the acceleration due to gravity. I will assume you're capable of changing the velocity of the ball quickly so you don't break the string at the bottom of the loop. Let's determine the force we get from gravity. 0.34 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 = 3.332 kg m/s^2 = 3.332 N Since we're getting some help from gravity, the force that will break the string is 9.9 N + 3.332 N = 13.232 N Plug known values into formula. F = mv^2/r 13.232 kg m/s^2 = 0.34 kg V^2 / 0.52 m 6.88064 kg m^2/s^2 = 0.34 kg V^2 20.23717647 m^2/s^2 = V^2 4.498574938 m/s = V Rounding to 2 significant figures gives 4.5 m/s The actual obtainable velocity is likely to be much lower. You may handle 13.232 N at the top of the swing where gravity is helping to keep you from breaking the string, but at the bottom of the swing, you can only handle 6.568 N where gravity is working against you, making the string easier to break.</span>
