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.

How did astronomers precisely determine the length of an Astronomical Unit in the 1960s?
zaharov [31]

Answer:

Use of telemetry and radar astronomy

Explanation:

An astronomical Unit (AU) is a unit of measuring distances in outer space, which is based on the approximate distance between the earth and the Sun.

After several years of trying to approximate the distance between the Sun and the Earth using several methods based on geometry and some other calculations, advancements in technology made available the presence of special motoring equipment, which can be placed in outer space to remotely monitor and measure the position of the sun.

The use of direct radar measurements to the sun (radar astronomy) have also made the determination of the AU more accurate.

A standard radar pulse of known speed is sent to the Sun, and the time with which it takes to return is measured,  once this is recorded, the distance between the Earth and the Sun can be calculated using

distance = speed X time.

However, most of these means have to be corrected for parallax errors

Match the lithification processes.
butalik [34]

Explanation:

Recrystallization: contact pressure causing grains to "fuse" together

Cementation : precipitation of bonding agents between grains

Compaction : increase in density due to weight of overburden

Lithification is the process by which sediments are converted into sedimentary rocks. During this process, recrystallication, compaction and cementation of mineral grains occur.

The process starts with the compaction of sediments. The over burden weight of new sediments in the basin adds to the one originally deposited. This compresses the sediment. The volume of reduced and the density increases.

Recrystallization follows suit as the contact pressure of grains makes them fuse together. It is more like reworking of sediments. In this process, cementing materials can precipitate and cause sediments to be more fused together.

This is why most sediment are made up of clasts in a matrix of cementing materials.

ANTONII [103]

a=5000\dfrac{mm}{s}=5\dfrac{m}{s}

f=10{Hz}\Longrightarrow t=\dfrac{1}{10}s

a_{max}=\dfrac{50\frac{m}{s}}{\frac{s}{10}}\cdot\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}}=\dfrac{50\dfrac{m}{s^2}}{\sqrt{2}}\approx\boxed{35.4\dfrac{m}{s^2}}

Hope this helps.
