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

a 42.3 kg girl and a 7.93 kg sled are on the surface of a frozen lake, 15.0m apart and linked by a rope, but not moving yet. the

Answer:

they meet from the girl's original position at: 2.37 (meters)

Explanation:

We need to use the Newton's law, exactly the second law that relate force, mass and acceleration as: F=m*a with this we can get both accelerations; solving for acceleration a=\frac{F}{m}. Now a_{girl}=\frac{5.76}{42.3}=0.14 (m/s^{2}) anda_{sled}=\frac{5.76}{7.93}=0.73(m/s^{2}). Then knowing that they both travel at the same time and assuming that the distance among the girl and the sled is: 15.0-x, so, x=\frac{1}{2}*a_{girl}*t^{2} and15.0-x=\frac{1}{2}*a_{sled}*t^{2}, solving for the time we get:t=\sqrt{\frac{2x}{a_{girl} } } and t=\sqrt{\frac{2*(15.0-x)}{a_{sled} } } with this equations we solving for the x that is the distance between the girl and the sled after the apply the force and we get:\sqrt{\frac{2x}{a_{girl}}} = \sqrt{\frac{2*(15.0-x)}{a_{sled} }. Finally we get:\frac{x}{a_{girl} }=\frac{(15.0-x)}{a_{sled} } and replacing the values we have got:\frac{x}{0.14} =\frac{(15.0-x)}{0.73} so 5.33*x=15-x so x=2.37 (meters).

alexdok [17]
The answer would be A) TRUE because we as humans can be dehydrated easily just by working out in sun or working out in the cold winter, that's how our body burns fat and calories, but it also burns our eyes since sweat has salt in it, and dehydrated means to run out of water for us, like not enough water, but yes to the answer its T.
