Answer:

a. A

Explanation:

Kepler's First Law says that the orbits of planets are ellipses with the sun at one focus of the ellipse. Moreover, Kepler’s Second Law says that the line joining the planet to the sun sweeps out equal areas in equal times as it moves along its orbit. Finally, Kepler’s Third Law says that the ratio of the squares of the periods for two planets is equal to the ratio of the cubes of their semi-major axes.

By these laws, the comet A will have lower orbital speed.

Why were the rings of Uranus not observed directly from telescopes on the ground on Earth? How were they discovered?
leonid [27]

Answer:Explained below.

Explanation:

Uranus rings is made up of jet black, coal-like particles in small bands, making them difficult  to perceive from Earth.This indicates that they are probably composed of a mixture of the ice and a dark material. The nature of  material is dismal, but it might be some organic compounds greatly darkened by the charged particle irradiation from the Uranian magnetosphere. Rings were discovered by using a infrared telescope throughout  the occultation of a star as Uranus passed in front of it. The light from the star dimmed many times before it was obstructed by the disk of Uranus and subsequently, showing the presence of various distinct rings.

To understand the interplay of observations and models you must first be able to distinguish between things that we observe and
Svetllana [295]

Answer: a) Observation

b) observation

c) observation

d) observation

e) inference

f) inference

g) inference

h) inference

Explanation:

observation: The photosphere is made mostly of hydrogen and helium,The photosphere emits mostly visible light,The corona is hotter than the photosphere, The Sun emits neurtrinos

inferences: The Sun generates energy by fusing hydrogen into helium,The core temperature is 10 million k, The convection zone is cooler than the radiation zone,The composition of the photosphere is the same as that the gas cloud that have birth to our solar system.

The temperature of a black body is 500 and its radiation is of wavelength 600 . If the number of oscillators with energy is 100
stiks02 [169]

Answer: An equation is missing in your question below is the missing equation

a) ≈ 8396

b) 150 nm/k

Explanation:

<u>A) Determine the number of Oscillators in the black body</u>

number of oscillators = 8395

attached below is the detailed solution

<u>b) determine the peak wavelength of the black body </u>

Black body temperature = 20,000 K

applying Wien's law / formula

λmax = b / T  ------ ( 1 )

T = 20,000 K

b = 3 * 10^6 nm

∴  λmax = 150 nm/k
