Answer:

6.575

Explanation:

T1 = 30C = 30 + 273 = 303 K

T2 = - 10 C = - 10 + 273 = 263 K

The coefficient of performance of heat pump

k = T2 / (T1 - T2)

k = 263 / (303 - 263) = 6.575

In 1996, astronomers discovered an icy object beyond pluto that was given the designation 1996 tl 66. it has a semimajor axis of
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer : 2446 years.

Explanation :

Length of semi major axis is, a=84\ au= 1.496\times 10^{11}\ m

According to Kepler's third law, square of time period of an orbit is directly proportional to the cube of the semi major axis.

i.e T^2=\dfrac{4\pi^2}{GM}a^3

where G is gravitational constant

M is  mass of sun, M=1.98\times 10^{30}\ Kg

So, T^2=\dfrac{4\times (3.14)^2}{6.6\times 10^{-11}Nm^2/Kg\times 1.98\times 10^{30}\Kg}

T^2=3\times 10^{-19}\times(84\times 1.496\times 10^{11})^3

T^2=3\times 10^{-19}\times 1984415.6\times 10^{33}

T^2=59532469.8\times 10^{14}\ s

T=7715.7\times 10^7\ s

since, 1\ sec=3.17\times 10^{-8}\ years

So, orbital period is approximately 2446 years.

Which best describes a concave lens?
-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

Explanation:

Concave lens also called as diverging lens i.e. it diverges ray of light coming towards it.

Concave lens is thicker at the edges and thinner at the center.

Concave lens formed the virtual image of the object i.e. it cannot be trace on screen. This lens is used to treat the nearsightedness or myopia in which a person is unable to see the far object clearly.
