Answer:

D They have longer seasons

Explanation:

I think this because the days will be longer so that means that the seasons will change also.

Answer:

A.They have longer periods of revolution.

Explanation:

From Kepler's law, we understand that:

The planets revolve about the Sun in elliptical paths with Sun at one foci.
Equal areas is swiped in equal interval of time.
Closer the planet, faster it moves.

Thus, planets which have longer orbits that is are farther from the Sun have longer periods of revolution. This can be directly inferred from Kepler's third law.

P² ∝ a³

where, <em>P</em> is the period and <em>a </em>is the semi-major axis.

Andy pushes a box to the right with 5 N of force. Kristen pushes the box to the left with 3 N of force. What will be the resulti

REY [17]

The forces are applied in opposite direction.
So the net force will be the difference of both forces.
net force =5-3=2N

This force will be in direction of 5N(bigger force) means in direction which Andy is pushing.

The length of the minute hand of the clock is 14cm. Calculate the speed with which the tip of the minute hand moves

Molodets [167]

Speed of the tip of the minute hand=V=0.0244 cm/s

Explanation:

The angular velocity of the minute hand is given by

$\omega= \frac{2\pi}{T}$

T= time period of the minute hand=60 min=3600 s

so ω= 2 π/3600 rad/s

Now linear velocity v= r ω

r= radius of minute hand=14 cm

so v= 14 (2 π/3600)

V=0.0244 cm/s

What is the difference between elastic PE and gravitational PE?

asambeis [7]

Elastic potential energy is kind of like pulling on something and then letting it go, with rubber bands, or a bow, or a slingshot, something with elastic properties.
Gravitational potential energy has to do with how high something is, and has to do with earth’s gravitational pull.

Which of these events indicate that a chemical reaction might have occurred?

blagie [28]

Reactions occur when two or more molecules interact and the molecules change. Bonds between atoms are broken and created to form new molecules. That's it.

List the following types of electromagnetic radiation in order of increasing wavelength:(i) the gamma rays produced by a radioac

Naddik [55]

Answer:

In order of increasing wavelength, the answer is:

(i) The gamma rays produced by a radioactive nuclide used in medical imaging

(iv) The yellow light from sodium-vapor streetlights

(v) The red light of a light emitting diode, such as in a calculator display

(ii) Radiation from an FM radio station at 93.1 MHz on the dial

(iii) A radio signal from an AM radio station at 680kHz on the dial

Explanation:

First, you have to know that the wavelength of a sinusoidal wave traveling at a constant speed is given by:

λ $= \frac{v}{f}$

Where λ is the wavelength, $v$ is the constant speed and $f$ is the wave's frequency. In the case of electromagnetic radiation in free space, the constant speed is the speed of light.

From explained above, you can conclude that there is a proportionality relationship between the wavelength and the frequency, they are inversely proportional. That means: the highest frequency will have the shortest wavelength and vice-versa.

So, you have the following types:

(i) The gamma rays produced by a radioactive nuclide used in medical imaging

Frequency : Typically greater than $10^{19}$ Hz

(ii) Radiation from an FM radio station at 93.1 MHz on the dial

Frequency: 93.1 MHz

(iii) A radio signal from an AM radio station at 680 kHz on the dial

Frequency: 680 kHz

(iv) The yellow light from sodium-vapor streetlights

Frequency: Visible spectrum of approx. 508 - 526 THz

(v) The red light of a light-emitting diode, such as in a calculator display

Frequency: Visible spectrum of approx. 400 - 484 THz

Then, you have to organize them from the highest frequency to the smallest one (decreasing frequency), and as the highest frequency will have the shortest wavelength, you are going to have it organized in an increasing wavelength mode.

Then in order of increasing wavelength, the answer will be:

(i) , (iv), (v), (ii), (iii)
