Answer:

772.65 years.  

Explanation:

Semi major axis = R = 84 AU = 1.257 × 10¹³ m

According to the 3rd law of Kepler, T² =  4 π² R³ / GM

Here R is the semi major axis. G = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ SI units.

M is the mass of the  Sun  = 1.98 x 10³⁰ kg

T² =    4 (3.14)³ (1.257 × 10¹³ )³÷ (6.67 × 10⁻¹¹)(1.98 x 10³⁰)

  ⇒  Time period  =  T = 2.44 x 10¹⁰ seconds

1 s = 3.17 × 10⁻⁸ years

Converting the seconds to years, T = 772.65 years.

Consider a car that travels between points A and B. The car's average speed can be greater than the magnitude of its average vel
omeli [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

True

Average speed is the ratio of total distance traveled to the total time taken and average velocity is total displacement to the total time.

And we know distance is either equal to or greater than displacement so we can say that for equal time interval magnitude of average velocity can never be greater than average speed.

We move a square loop of wire 2.3 cm on a side into a region of uniform magnetic field of 1.5 T with the plane of the loop perpe
vova2212 [387]

Answer:

Force will be F=8.33\times 10^{-4}N

Explanation:

We have given side of wire d = 2.3 cm = 0.023 m

Magnetic field B = 1.5 T

Velocity v = 2.1 m/sec

Resistance R = 3 ohm

We know that current is given by i=\frac{Bvd}{R}=\frac{1.5\times 2.1\times 0.023}{3}=0.02415A

Power is given by P=i^2R=0.02415^2\times 3=0.00174watt

We know that power is also given by P=Fv

So 0.00174=F\times 2.1

F=8.33\times 10^{-4}N
