Suppose you read in the newspaper that a new planet has been found. Its average speed in its orbit is 33 kilometers per second (

km/s). When it is closest to its star, it moves at 31 km/s, and when it is farthest from its star, it moves at 35 km/s. This story is in error because
Choose one:
A. Kepler's third law says the planet has to sweep out equal areas in equal times, so
the speed of the planet cannot change.
B. the average speed is too fast.
C. using these numbers, the square of the orbital period will not be equal to
the cube of the semimajor axis.
D. planets stay at a constant distance from their stars; they don't move closer or farther away.
E. Kepler's second law says the planet must move fastest when it is closest, not
when it is farthest away.
E. Kepler's second law says the planet must move fastest when it is closest, not
when it is farthest away.

Answer:

E. Kepler's second law says the planet must move fastest when it is closest, not  when it is farthest away.

Explanation:

We can answer this question by using Kepler's second law of planetary motion, which states that:

"A line connecting the center of the Sun with the center of each planet sweeps out equal areas in equal intervals of time"

This means that when a planet is further away from the Sun, it will move slower (because the line is longer, so it must move slower), while when the planet is closer to the Sun, it will move faster (because the line is shorter, so it must move faster).

In the text of this problem, it is written that the planet moves at 31 km/s when is close to the star and 35 km/s when it is farthest: this is in disagreement with what we said above, therefore the correct option is

E. Kepler's second law says the planet must move fastest when it is closest, not  when it is farthest away.

The volumes of the block is 10,500 mL and density is 8.52 g/mL. Find the block's mass Don't forget units and a space
Schach [20]

Answer:

<h2>89,460 g</h2>

Explanation:

The mass of a substance when given the density and volume can be found by using the formula

mass = Density × volume

From the question we have

mass = 8.52 × 10,500

We have the final answer as

<h3>89,460 g</h3>

Hope this helps you

A notebook sitting on a desk has 19 j of potential energy. What is the total mechanical energy of the notebook?
Alex17521 [72]

The total mechanical energy of the notebook is <u><em>19J</em></u>.

Mechanical energy is the sum of potential energy and kinetic energy.  It has no kinetic energy, because it's not moving.  So its potential energy is all the  mechanical energy it has.

An empty can of soda is yeeted (thrown) into a crowd. Then, a full can of soda is yeeted into a crowd. Throwing the full can too
4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

Newton's third law of motion.

Explanation:

We are told the force needed to throw the full soda can was more than that needed to throw the empty can.

Now, the weight of the full soda can will be more than that of the empty can. Therefore, the full can will demand more force than that of the empty can due to Newton's third law of motion which states that to every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
