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_sh-v [17]

Answer:

If you try to lift up a weight in a swimming pool and then try to lift the same weight on the edge of the pool, it feels much lighter in the water.

This was supposed to have been first explained by the Greek scientist Archimedes. He said that the water gives an upward force or upthrust on any object in it.

You can weigh an object in air and then in water and actually work out the upthrust, it is the difference between the two readings. For this reason the upthrust is often called the loss in weight of the object.

What are the principals behind Newtons first and third law?​
koban [17]

Answer:

First law: An object either remains at rest or continues to move at a constant velocity, unless acted upon by an external force. (i.e. Objects in motion tend to stay in motion. Objects at rest tend to stay at rest.)

Third law: When one body exerts a force on a second body, the second body simultaneously exerts a force equal in magnitude and opposite in direction on the first body.

Virty [35]

Answer:

Refractive index of liquid C > Refractive index of liquid B > Refractive index of liquid A

Explanation:

Let the depth of each section is h.

That means the real depth for each section is h.

Apparent depth is liquid A is 7 cm.

Apparent depth in liquid B is 6 cm.

Apparent depth in liquid C is 5 cm.

by the formula of the refractive index

n = real depth / apparent depth

where, n is the refractive index of the liquid.

For liquid A:

n_{A}=\frac{h}{7}    .... (1)

For liquid B:

n_{B}=\frac{h}{6}   ..... (2)

For liquid C:

n_{C}=\frac{h}{5}     ..... (3)

By comparing all the three equations

nc > nB > nA

Refractive index of liquid C > Refractive index of liquid B > Refractive index of liquid A

A student carries a backpack for one mile. Another student carries the same backpack for two miles
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

Compared to the first student, the second student did twice as much work as the first student.

Explanation:

The work done by the first student will be equal to the Force exerted by the backpack on the student carrying it multiplied by one mile (Distance).  The work done by the second student will be equal to the Force exerted by the backpack on the student carrying it multiplied by two miles (Distance).
