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.

What is an incident wave,and a normal
Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

An incident wave is a current or voltage wave that travels through a transmission line from the generating source towards the load. It becomes incident when it arrives at a discontinuity or another medium with different propagation characteristics. Wave normal. A unit vector which is perpendicular to an Equiphase surface of a wave, and has its positive direction on the same side of the surface as the direction of propagation.

Peter was holding a Human Physiology textbook that weighs about 4lbs with his non- writing arm for one minute. His elbow remaine
Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

a

When peter held the book for one minute the rate at which motor unites are fired increase steeply but as the duration increases the increese in the rate at which it is being fired becomes linear so the number of activated motors stay the same but are being activated at a more rapidly

b

The same motors are activated whilest he is hold the book for 2 minutes this is because for peter to hold the book in one fixed position one specific motor units  need to be activated

Note changing the motor unites would change the positon of the hand

Which action can be explained by physics?
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

Actions that underlie mathematical rules, patterns or probability distributions.

For example how fast something falls at any given point or time.

More complex actions, such as human decision making in single individuals would be way too complicated to describe in physical terms.

But note that there can be physical models of such things as traffic when we can assume statistical knowledge of behavior.

Also physical models are used to plan such things as emergency exits in big stadiums, because many thousands of people can be described as particles flowing under a given pressure.

Every time we can gain good statistical knowledge and can therefore see patterns and rules in action, we can build theoretical models to make predictions and simulations (and games btw)

Since it's fair to say that mathematics is the science of patterns, it is plausible that physical descriptions often come in mathematical formulations, so that it can be understand as an efficient language of physics.

Neighboring disciplines like chemistry relay on physical theories to build on them,and then add shortcuts to fit their needs and interests, generating an own language for their field of study. But physicists may refer to them as anadd-on to physics.

Physics can basically explain all actions wich you can express in numbers.

But note that on a fundamental level physics describes 'how' things work, not necessarily 'why' they do it this way. The source of the basic and most fundamental physical constants and rules remains a mystery till this day.But of course there are theories on that as well, wich mostly can neither be proved or falsified.

The text is my own work and based of my general knowledge and quintessence of lectures on physics and other fields I attended.

(I would really appreciate the brainliest)
