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.

Describe succinctly the relationship between how far a galaxy is from us (its distance), versus how fast it is moving.
Eva8 [605]

Answer:

Distance is directly proportional to the velocity

Explanation:

In 1929, Edwin Hubble's wrote an article that talked about relationship between the distance and recession speed/velocity of galaxies which led to what is known as the Hubble Law. This law states that galaxies are moving away from the earth at velocities proportional to their distances.

Thus is written as;

v = H_o•d

Where;

v is velocity

d is distance

H_o is Hubble's constant rate of cosmic expansion.

He came to this conclusion by generating a graph known as Hubble's classic graph which was a graph of observed velocity vs distance for nearby galaxies.

The figure shows a water-filled syringe with a 4.0-cm-long needle. What is the gauge pressure of the water at the point P, where
mars1129 [50]

Answer:

Pressure at P point is given as

P_p = 1.042 \times 10^5 Pa

Explanation:

As we know by poiseuille's equation of viscous flow of liquid through cylindrical pipe

Q = \frac{\Delta P \pi r^4}{8\eta L}

here we know that

L = 4 cm

\eta = 1 \times 10^{-3} Pa s

r = 1 mm

Q = flow rate

\pi r^2 v = \frac{\Delta P \pi r^4}{8\eta L}

v = \frac{\Delta P r^2}{8 \eta L}

10 = \frac{\Delta P (10^{-3})^2}{8(1 \times 10^[-3})(0.04)}

3.2 \times 10^{-3} = \Delta P (10^{-6})

\Delta P = 3.2 \times 10^3 Pa

now we have

P_p - P_{atm} = 3.2 \times 10^3

P_p = 1.01 \times 10^5 + 3.2 \times 10^3

P_p = 1.042 \times 10^5 Pa

Metals are good conductors of electricity because they _________
Gnesinka [82]

Metals are good conductors because the molecules that are inside the metal are tightly packed together. This is why the heat moves through the metal quickly.
