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.

She uses a voltmeter, that measures in volts, and an ammeter that measures in amps. Both were correctly placed in her circuit. I
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

A) the ammeter is x  

B)

  • voltage across R₁ (left resistor) =  0.75 V
  • voltage across the right one  = 0.3 V

C) 1.05 V

Explanation:

From the diagram attached below;

A) Assuming the homes were wired in series, and one of the homes face short circuit then all the houses would face power cut but it doesn't happen. So they must be connected in parallel.

Therefore; The ammeter is  connected in series, Hence, the ammeter is x  and the voltmeter must be z.

B)

Given that:

x = 0.15 A

z = 0.3 V

Resistor (R) on the left = 5 ohms

Then, voltage across R₁ (left resistor) = 5×(x)

= 5×0.15

= 0.75 V

voltage across the right one = z = 0.3 V

C)

The total voltage of battery = 0.75+0.3 = 1.05 V

Water has the ability to dissolve polar covalent molecules like sucrose by
Alla [95]

Explanation:

Sucrose is a disaccharide which is composed of fructose and glucose. Sucrose molecule has oxygen atoms bonded to hydrogen atoms (O-H bonds - Polar groups) on all ends of its double 6-Carbon ring. The areas near the oxygen atoms are slightly negative, and the areas near the hydrogen atoms are slightly positive that is, the O-H bonds are polar. They bond with the neighbouring Oxygen and Hydrogen atoms because of their

dipole - dipole attractions and hence hydrogen bonds are formed.

However, the covalent bonds within the molecule aren't broken. But rather, the hydrogen bonds holding the sucrose molecules in the crystalline lattice.

If a flea can jump straight up to a height of 0.410 m , what is its initial speed as it leaves the ground?
aivan3 [116]

Initial velocity = \(v_0\)

acceleration in the downward direction = -9.8 \(\frac {m}{s^2}\)

Final velocity at the highest point = 0

Maximum height reached = 0.410 m

Now, Using third equation of motion:

\(v^2 = {v_0}^{2} + 2aH

\(0^2 = {v_0}^{2} - 2 \times 9.8 \times 0.410

\({v_0}^{2} = 2 \times 9.8 \times 0.410\)

\(v_0 = 2.834 \frac {m}{s}\)

Speed with which the flea jumps = \(2.834 \frac {m}{s}\)

A ball is kicked from the top of a building with a velocity of 50 m/s and lands 165 m away from the base of the buildi
solniwko [45]

Answer:

32.3 m/s

Explanation:

The ball follows a projectile motion, where:

- The horizontal motion is a uniform motion at costant speed

- The vertical motion is a free fall motion (constant acceleration)

We start by analyzing the horizontal motion. The ball travels horizontally at constant speed of

v_x = 50 m/s

and it covers a distance of

d = 165 m

So, the total time of flight of the ball is

t=\frac{d}{v_x}=\frac{165}{50}=3.3 s

In order to find the vertical velocity of the ball, we have now to analyze its vertical motion.

The vertical motion is a free-fall motion, so the ball is falling at constant acceleration; therefore we can use the following suvat equation:

v_y = u_y +at

where

v_y is the vertical velocity at time t

u_y=0 is the initial vertical velocity

a=g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration  of gravity (taking downward as positive direction)

Substituting t = 3.3 s (the time of flight), we find the final vertical velocity of the ball:

v=0 + (9.8)(3.3)=32.3 m/s

Why do aeroplanes take longer to fly west than east?
PolarNik [594]

Every planet/moon has global wind that are mostly determined by the way the planet/moon rotates and how evenly the Sun illuminates it. On the Earth the equator gets much more Sun than the poles. resulting in warmer air at the equator than the poles and creating circulation cells (or "Hadley Cells") which consist of warm air rising over the equator and then moving North and South from it and back round.

The Earth is also rotating. When any solid body rotates, bits of it that are nearer its axis move slower than those which are further away. As you move north (or south) from the equator, you are moving closer to the axis of the Earth and so the air which started at the equator and moved north (or south) will be moving faster than the ground it is over (it has the rotation speed of the ground at the equator, not the ground which is is now over). This results in winds which always move from the west to the east in the mid latitudes.
