Answer:

Mar's orbital path is more than that of Earth, thus it takes more number of days to orbit around the sun.

Explanation:

Mars takes over 500 days to orbit all the way around the sun than Earth because its distance from the sun (228 million kilometers) is greater than that of Earth (150 million kilometers) which takes it 365 days.

Planets that orbit closer to the sun take shorter time to orbit around the sun because the cover a shorter orbital distance and orbit faster than those planets further from the sun.

<u>For example</u>

Using Earth's distance from the sun, 150 million kilometers and the number of days taken to orbits the sun ,365 days and the distance Mars is from the Earth, 228 million kilometers, you can approximate the time Mar takes to orbit the sun as:

Earth 150 million kilometers = 365 days

Mars 228 million kilometers= ?

Cross product ; (228 *365) /150 =555 -----(a value closer to that in the question)

Suppose your surface body temperature averaged 90 degrees F. How much radiant energy in W/m^2 would be emitted from your body?

Debora [2.8K]

$493 \; \text{W}\cdot \text{m}^{-2}$ .

<h3>Explanation</h3>

The Stefan-Boltzmann Law gives the energy radiation <em>per unit area</em> of a black body:

$\dfrac{P}{A} = \sigma \cdot T^{4}$

where,

$P$ the total power emitted,
$A$ the surface area of the body,
$\sigma$ the Stefan-Boltzmann Constant, and
$T$ the temperature of the body in degrees Kelvins.

$\sigma = 5.67 \times 10^{-8} \;\text{W}\cdot \text{m}^{-2} \cdot \text{K}^{-4}$ .

$T = 90 \; \textdegree{}\text{F} = (\dfrac{5}{9} \cdot (90-32) + 273.15) \; \text{K} = 305.372 \; \text{K}$ .

$\dfrac{P}{A} = \sigma \cdot T^{4} = 5.67 \times 10^{-8} \times 305.372^{4} = 493\; \text{W}\cdot \text{m}^{-2}$ .

Keep as many significant figures in $T$ as possible. The error will be large when $T$ is raised to the power of four. Also, the real value will be much smaller than $493\; \text{W}\cdot \text{m}^{-2}$ since the emittance of a human body is much smaller than assumed.

Someone please help with this

Answer:

<em>The new force is 2/3 of the original force</em>

Explanation:

<u>Coulomb's Law </u>

The electrical force between two charged objects is directly proportional to the product of their charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the two objects.

Written as a formula:

$\displaystyle F=k\frac{q_1q_2}{d^2}$

Where:

$k=9\cdot 10^9\ N.m^2/c^2$

q1, q2 = the objects' charge

d= The distance between the objects

Suppose the first charge is doubled (2q1) and the second charge is one-third of the original charge (q2/3). Now the force is:

$\displaystyle F'=k\frac{2q_1*q_2/3}{d^2}$

Factoring out 2/3:

$\displaystyle F'=\frac{2}{3}k\frac{q_1*q_2}{d^2}$

Substituting the original force:

$F'=\frac{2}{3}F$

The new force is 2/3 of the original force

A nanometer is a unit of mass, whereas a nanosecond is a unit of time. Question 1 options: True False

Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

True.

Explanation:

A nanometer is a unit of mass, whereas a nanosecond is a unit of time. To convert 1.3 hours to minute, you would multiply by 1 h / 60 min. Kilometer is a unit of length, whereas kilogram is a unit of mass. True.
