Answer:
Less than Mercury's
Explanation:
According to third Kepler's law, the square of the planet's orbital period is proportional to the cube of the average orbital radius of the planet's orbit. The constant of proportionality depends only on the mass of the star, recall that 51 Peg has the same mass as the Sun. Since the orbital period of this planet is less than Mercury's, its average orbital radius is less than Mercury's.

Answer: 130 newtons</h3>
===============================================================
Explanation:
We'll need the acceleration first.
- The initial speed (let's call that Vi) is 8.0 m/s
- The final speed (Vf) is 0 m/s since Sam comes to a complete stop at the end.
- This happens over a duration of t = 4.0 seconds
The acceleration is equal to the change in speed over change in time
a = acceleration
a = (change in speed)/(change in time)
a = (Vf - Vi)/(4 seconds)
a = (0 - 8.0)/4
a = -8/4
a = -2
The acceleration is -2 m/s^2, meaning that Sam slows down by 2 m/s every second. Negative accelerations are often associated with slowing down. The term "deceleration" can be used here.
Here's a further break down of Sam's speeds at the four points of interest
- At 0 seconds, he's going 8 m/s
- At the 1 second mark, he's slowing down to 8-2 = 6 m/s
- At the 2 second mark, he's now at 6-2 = 4 m/s
- At the 3 second mark, he's at 4-2 = 2 m/s
- Finally, at the 4 second mark, he's at 2-2 = 0 m/s
Next, we'll apply Newton's Second Law of motion
F = m*a
where,
- F = force applied
- m = mass
- a = acceleration
We just found the acceleration, and the mass is fairly easy as all we need to do is add Sam's mass with the sled's mass to get 60+5.0 = 65 kg
So the force applied must be:
F = m*a
F = 65*(-2)
F = -130 newtons
This force is negative to indicate it's pushing against the sled's momentum to slow Sam down.
The magnitude of this force is |F| = |-130| = 130 newtons
What are the answer choices, if there are any?
Answer:
it would be 3
Explanation:
because you have to divide the length by the height of the incline.
