Answer:

253 years

Explanation:

a = Distance in Astronomical units from the sun = 40 AU

P = Orbital period in years

From Kepler's law we have

P^2=a^3

\Rightarrow P^2=40^3

\Rightarrow P^2=64000

\Rightarrow P=\sqrt{64000}

\Rightarrow P=252.982212813

\Rightarrow P\approx 253\ years

The orbital period of the Kuiper belt object is 253 years.

Air "breaks down" when the electric field strength reaches 3 × 106 n/c, causing a spark. A parallel-plate capacitor is made from
Lera25 [3.4K]

Electric field between the plates of parallel plate capacitor is given as

E = \frac{Q}{A\epsilon_0}

here area of plates of capacitor is given as

A = 0.055 * 0.055

A = 3.025 * 10^{-3}

also the maximum field strength is given as

E = 3 * 10^6 N/C

now we will plug in all data to find the maximum possible charge on capacitor plates

3 * 10^6 = \frac{Q}{3.025 * 10^{-3}*8.85 * 10^{-12}}

Q = 8.03 * 10^{-8} C

so the maximum charge that plate will hold will be given by above

Jessica jogs on a path that is 25 km long to get to the park that is south of the jogging path if it takes just a cut 2.5 hours
Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

10km/h

Explanation:

25÷2.5=10

speed = distance/time

velocity is a magnitude and needs a direction which wasnt provided so its basically the same as the speed
