Answer:

The nearest plant (A) receives 4 times more radiation from the farthest plant

Explanation:

The energy emitted by the star is distributed on the surface of a sphere, whereby intensity received is the power emitted between the area of ​​the sphere

                I = P / A

               P = I A

The area of ​​the sphere is

               A = 4π r²

Since the amount of radiation emitted by the star is constant, we can write this expression for the position of the two planets

               P = I₁ A₁ = I₂ A₂

               I₁ / I₂ = A₂ / A₁

 Suppose index 1 corresponds to the nearest planet,

            r2 = 2 r₁

            I₁ / I₂ = r₁² / r₂²

            I₁ / I₂ = r₁² / (2r₁)²

            I₁ / I₂ = ¼

           4 I₁ = I₂

The nearest plant (A) receives 4 times more radiation from the farthest plant

According to Newton's law of motion, when we shake a mango tree, mangoes fall down explain.​
Reptile [31]
When we shake a mango tree, the mangoes fall down. It is because when we shake the tree, the mango tend to be rest due to inertia where as the branches are in motion. That is why the mangoes tend to be at rest due to inertia where as the branches are in the motion.

What is the orbital period of a spacecraft in a low orbit near the surface of mars? The radius of mars is 3.4×106m.
valkas [14]
<h2>Answer: 56.718 min</h2>

Explanation:

According to the Third Kepler’s Law of Planetary motion<em> </em><em>“The square of the orbital period of a planet is proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis (size) of its orbit”. </em>

In other words, this law states a relation between the orbital period T of a body (moon, planet, satellite) orbiting a greater body in space with the size a of its orbit.

This Law is originally expressed as follows:

T^{2}=\frac{4\pi^{2}}{GM}a^{3}   (1)

Where;

G is the Gravitational Constant and its value is 6.674(10)^{-11}\frac{m^{3}}{kgs^{2}}

M=6.39(10)^{23}kg is the mass of Mars

a=3.4(10)^{6}m  is the semimajor axis of the orbit the spacecraft describes around Mars (assuming it is a <u>circular orbit </u>and a <u>low orbit near the surface </u>as well, the semimajor axis is equal to the radius of the orbit)

If we want to find the period, we have to express equation (1) as written below and substitute all the values:

T=\sqrt{\frac{4\pi^{2}}{GM}a^{3}}    (2)

T=\sqrt{\frac{4\pi^{2}}{(6.674(10)^{-11}\frac{m^{3}}{kgs^{2}})(6.39(10)^{23}kg)}(3.4(10)^{6}m)^{3}}    (3)

T=\sqrt{11581157.44 s^{2}}    (4)

Finally:

T=3403.1099s=56.718min    This is the orbital period of a spacecraft in a low orbit near the surface of mars
