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>.

Energy in a spring:

E = 0.5 * k * x²

k spring constant = 800 n/m
x stretch of the spring = 5 cm = 0.05 m

E = 0.5 * 800 * 0.05² = 1

In comparing sunspots to other areas of the sun's surface one can say that sunspots are...?
taurus [48]

Answer:

D. Cooler

Explanation:

The Sun's surface has a temperature ranging from 6 000 Kelvin, thus it is very hot. The radioactive reaction in the core of the Sun is a nuclear fusion reaction. This reaction ensures continuous release of high energy from the surface of the Sun.

But during the reaction, some parts becomes cooler than other parts on its surface. Which is due to the release of high amount of energy into space. The Sun's spot can be found in the cooler part of the Sun.

What is the magnitude of the electric field at a point midway between a −5.0μC and a +5.8μC charge 8.4cm apart? Assume no other
Alex73 [517]

Answer:

Electric Field = E = 36.848 N/C

Explanation:

In accordance with Columb's law

E = k Q1 Q2 / r.r = 8.99 x 10^9 x 5.0 x 10^-6 x 5.8 x 10^-6 / 0.084 x 0.084

= 36948.6961 x 10^-3 = 36.848 N/C
