If it were possible for an object to fall freely near the surface of the Earth,
-- The direction of its velocity would always be "down"; that is, toward the center of the Earth.
-- The size of its velocity would continually increase, at the rate of 9.8 meters per second for every second it falls.
Kepler's third law is used to determine the relationship between the orbital period of a planet and the radius of the planet.
The distance of the earth from the sun is
.
<h3>
What is Kepler's third law?</h3>
Kepler's Third Law states that the square of the orbital period of a planet is directly proportional to the cube of the radius of their orbits. It means that the period for a planet to orbit the Sun increases rapidly with the radius of its orbit.

Given that Mars’s orbital period T is 687 days, and Mars’s distance from the Sun R is 2.279 × 10^11 m.
By using Kepler's third law, this can be written as,


Substituting the values, we get the value of constant k for mars.


The value of constant k is the same for Earth as well, also we know that the orbital period for Earth is 365 days. So the R is calculated as given below.



Hence we can conclude that the distance of the earth from the sun is
.

To solve this exercise we will use the concept related to heat loss which is mathematically given as

Where,
m = mass
= Specific Heat
Change in temperature
Replacing with our values we have that

Specific heat of mercury

Replacing

Therefore the heat lost by mercury is 0.09J
Answer;
-Compass Rose
A symbol on a compass or map that is circular with graded points for the direction is commonly known as a compass rose.
Explanation;
The Earth is a magnet that can interact with other magnets such that, the north end of a compass magnet is drawn to align with the Earth's magnetic field.
A compass rose is a figure on a compass, map, nautical chart, or monument used to display the orientation of the cardinal directions (north, east, south, and west) and their intermediate points. It is a feature on a map that also tells people what direction to go to find certain places on the map
The ER mainly folds proteins into sacs and transports proteins through the cell. The ER is a component of both plant and animal cells. The endoplasmic reticulum can be compared to the hallways of a house. Both are networks that allow the materials in the house/cell to be moved around.
