Scientists discover two planets orbiting a distant star. The average distance from the star to Planet A is 8 AU, and it takes 71

0 Earth days for Planet A to orbit the star. If it takes 1170 Earth days for Planet B to complete an orbit, what is the average distance from Planet B to the star? AU

Answer: 11.2 AU

Explanation:

Applying Kepler's 3rd law, we can find out the average distance of planet B to the star.

This Law states that for planets orbiting a same star, there exists a fixed relationship between the average distance to  the star, and the period of his orbit  around it, as follows:

K = T² / d³

So , in this case, we can write:

(da)³ / Ta² = (db)³ / (Tb)²

Solving for db:

db = ∛8³.(1170)² / 710² = ∛1390.4 = 11.2 AU

maksim [4K]

Answer:16.234^{\circ}C

Explanation:

Given

Mass of object (m)=6 kg

falling height(h)=10 m

mass of water(m_w)=600 gm

temperature of water =15

specific heat of water =4.186 j/g-^{\circ}C

Let T be the Final Temperature of water

Here Object Potential Energy is converted into Heat energy which will be absorbed by water

Potential Energy(P.E.)=mgh=6\times 9.81\times 10=588.6 J

Heat supplied=m_wc(\Delta T)

H.E.=600\times 4.186\times (T-16)

588.6=2511.6\times (T-16)

T-16=0.234

T=16.234^{\circ}C

This is not an efficient way of heating water as there is only0.234^{\circ}Cincrease in temperature.

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

the average speed of the car is 170 mph.

Explanation:

Given;

initial speed, u = 70 mph

time of motion, t₁ = 3 hours

final speed, v = 20 mph

time of motion, t₂ = 2 hours

The average speed of the car is calculated as;

v' = \frac{70(3) - 20(2)}{3-2} \\\\v' = 170 \ mph

Therefore, the average speed of the car is 170 mph.
