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!

How many liters of a 0.30M solution are needed to give 2.7 moles of solute? Your answer:
OverLord2011 [107]
You HAVE TO know that molarity (M) tells you the number of moles of a solute per Liters of solution.
M=mol/L
0.3M = 2.7 mol/ Volume
Volume = 2.7 mol/3.0 L
Volume = 0.9 L
