Answer: The correct answer is Earth's orbital period and distance from the Sun.

Explanation: Rosalinda can use Kepler's Laws to determine the mass of the Earth. Third law of Kepler is the most convenient for this purpose.

Expression for Kepler's Third Law is:

P^2=\frac{4\pi ^2}{k^2(M_{sun}+M_{earth})}a^3

Where,

P =  orbital period determined in days

k = Gaussian Gravitational constant with value 0.01720209895

M_{sun} = Mass of the sun which is known to us which is 1.989\times 10^{30}kg

M_{Earth} = Mass of Earth which has to be determined

a = Semi major axis which is the distance of Earth from the sun.

Hence, Earth's orbital period and its distance from the sun is useful in determining the mass of Earth.

The best and most correct answer among the choices provided by the question is the second choice "<span>the moon’s orbital period and distance from Earth" 


</span> <span>The Earth's mass is </span>5.9736<span> x 10</span>24<span> kg. That's a big number, so let's write it out in full: 5,973,600,000,000,000,000,000,000 kg. You could also say the Earth's mass is </span>5.9<span>sextillion tonnes. Phew, that's a lot of mass.</span>

I hope my answer has come to your help. God bless and have a nice day ahead!

The temperature in a town started out at 55 degrees. By the end of the day the temperature dropped to -6 degrees.
garik1379 [7]

Answer:

The choice of the answer is fourth option that is -61 degrees.

Therefore the temperature drop is -61°Centigrade.

Explanation:

Given:

The temperature in a town started out at 55 degrees

Start temperature = 55°Centigrade. (Initial temperature)

End of the Day      = -6°Centigrade. (Final temperature)

To Find:

How far did the temperature drop?

Solution:

We will have,

\textrm{Temperature drop}=\textrm{Final temperature}-\textrm{Initial temperature}

Substituting the above values in it we get

\textrm{Temperature drop}=-6-55\\\\\therefore \textrm{Temperature drop}=-61\° centigrade

Therefore the temperature drop is -61°Centigrade.

A colorless liquid has a molar mass of 60.01 g/mol. When the liquid was analyzed, it was 46.7% nitrogen and 53.3% oxygen. What i
MAXImum [283]

first we have to find the empirical formula of the compound

empirical formula is the simplest ratio of whole numbers of components making up a compound

for 100 g of the compound

N O

mass 46.7 g 53.3 g

number of 46.7 g/ 14 g/mol 53.3 g/ 16 g/mol

moles = 3.34 mol = 3.33 mol

divide by the least number of moles

3.34/3.33 = 1.00 3.33/ 3,33 = 1.00

therefore number of atoms are

N - 1

O - 1

empirical formula is - NO


mass of empirical unit - 14 g/mol + 16 g/mol = 30 g

molecular formula is actual composition of elements in the compound

molecular mass - 60.01 g/mol


number of empirical units = molecular mass / empirical unit mass

= 60.01 g/mol / 30 g = 2

there are 2 empirical units


2(NO)

molecular formula = N₂O₂
