As a planet's semimajor axis gets smaller, its speed will _______ and its period will _________ .

Well first of all, a planet doesn't have a semimajor axis, although it's orbit does.

In an orbit with a smaller semimajor axis, the planet moves faster, and its orbital period is shorter.

That's why the International Space Station circles the Earth in less time than the Moon does.

ahrayia [7]

when we placed in the container of real depth assuming = d

if the container filled with liquid A then its apparent depth d' = 7cm

so the refractive index nA = real depth / apparent depth

                                       = d/7cm = 0.1428d

if the container filled with liquid B then its apparent depth d' = 6cm

so the refractive index nB = real depth / apparent depth

                                       = d/6cm = 0.166d

if the container filled with liquid C then its apparent depth d' = 5cm

so the refractive index nC = real depth / apparent depth

                                       = d/5cm = 0.2d

Since the refractive index is inversely proportional to the apparent depth

then the refractive indices are nC > nB > nA

What are three key aerodynamics principles?
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

There are three basic forces in aerodynamics: acceleration, which moves an airplane forward; drag, which holds it back; and height, which keeps it airborne. Lift is generally explained by three theories: Bernoulli's principle, the Coanda effect, and Newton's third law of motion.
