Orlov [11]3 years ago

Answer:

The units of the orbital period P is <em>years </em> and the units of the semimajor axis a is <em>astronomical units</em>.

Explanation:

P² = a³ is the simplified version of Kepler's third law which governs the orbital motion of large bodies that orbit around a star. The orbit of each planet is an ellipse with the star at the focal point.

Therefore, if you square the year of each planet and divide it by the distance that it is from the star, you will get the same number for all the other planets.

Thus, the units of the orbital period P is <em>years </em> and the units of the semimajor axis a is <em>astronomical units</em>.

A wave with 2.0 m amplitude has a frequency of 500 Hz is travelling at a speed of 200 m/s. What is the wavelength?
Serggg [28]

Answer: 0.4m

Explanation:

Given that:

Amplitude of wave = 2.0 m

Wavelength (λ)= ?

Frequency F = 500Hz

Speed V = 200 m/s

The wavelength is measured in metres, and represented by the symbol λ.

So, apply the formula:

Wavespeed V= Frequency F xwavelength λ

200m/s = 500Hz x λ

λ = 200m/s / 500Hz

λ = 0.4m

Thus, the wavelength is 0.4 metres

Levart [38]

Answer:

the rate that the energy of a system is transformed

Explanation:

We can define energy as the capacity or ability to do work. Power is defined as the rate of doing work or the rate at which energy is transformed. It can also be regarded as the time rate of energy transfer. In older physics literature, power is sometimes referred to as activity.

Power is given by energy/time. Its unit is watt which is defined as joule per second. Another popular unit of power is horsepower. 1 horsepower = 746 watts.

Very large magnitude of power is measured in killowats and megawatts.

An object weighing 49 N is dropped from a height of 30 m. It is found to be moving with a velocity of 24m/s just before it hits
faltersainse [42]

The  frictional force will be 0.22N.

<h3>What is Frictional force?</h3>

Frictional force is the force generated between two surfaces that are in contact and slide against each other.

Given,

Weight=4N

mass =4.9/9.8=0.5kg

Hieght =30m

velocity=24m/s

Acceration , v²-u²=2as

24²/2×30 =a , u is zero

 a= 1.5m/s²



By Using conservation  of energy ,

30F+1/2mv²=mgh

30F=1150-144

F= 6/30

F=0.2N

The force will be 0.2N
