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.

MissTica

Answer: Tsunami.

Explanation :

Tsunami is the result of a sudden vertical offset in the ocean floor and is most often the result of plate movement on the ocean floor.

Tsunami is caused due to the displacement of a large volume of water like in an ocean. It consists of a series of waves. It destroys coastlines and coastal settlements. It is also known as a tidal wave.

So, the correct option is (b) Tsunami.

A triply charged ion with velocity 7.00 × 10^6 m/s moves in a path of radius 36.0 cm in a magnetic field of 0.55 T in a mass spe
saw5 [17]

Answer:

Mass of ion will be 22\times 10^{-13}kg                

Explanation:

We have given ion is triply charged that is q=3\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}=4.8\times 10^{-19}C

Radius r = 36 cm = 0.36 m

Velocity of the electron v=7\times 10^6m/sec

Magnetic field B = 0.55 T

We know that radius of the path is given by r=\frac{mv}{qB}

m=\frac{rqB}{v}=\frac{0.36\times 4.8\times 10^{-19}\times 7\times 10^6}{0.55}=22\times 10^{-13}kg

Fofino [41]
Since the Earth is almost spherical in shape, we are actually to find first the volume of the spherical segment at a depth of 1,000 m. The radius of the Earth is 6,371,000 meters. The volume of a spherical segment is:

V = 1/3*πh²(3r - h)
Substituting the values and making sure the units is in mm,
V = 1/3*π(1000 m * 1000 mm/1 m)²[3(6,371,000 m * 1000 mm/1 m) - (1000 m * 1000 mm/1 m)]
V = 2×10²² mm³

Thus, the total amount of bacteria is:

2×10²² mm³ * 100 bacteria/1 mm³ = 2×10²⁴ bacteria

Step2247 [10]

Answer:

3- kinetic energy was transferred from the water to the ice

Explanation:

the kinetic energy in this situation is the molecules vibrating so the molecules in the ice absorb it and make the molecules not vibrate so it gets colder
