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.

Which word describes the maximum a point moves from its rest position when a wave passes?
Tom [10]

Answer:

Amplitude.

Explanation:

A wave can be defined as a disturbance in a medium that progressively transports energy from a source location to another location without the transportation of matter.

In Science, there are two (2) types of wave and these include;

I. Electromagnetic waves: it doesn't require a medium for its propagation and as such can travel through an empty space or vacuum. An example of an electromagnetic wave is light.

II. Mechanical waves: it requires a medium for its propagation and as such can't travel through an empty space or vacuum. An example of a mechanical wave is sound.

An amplitude can be defined as a waveform that's measured from the center line (its origin or equilibrium position) to the bottom of a trough or top of a crest.

Hence, an amplitude is a word that describes the maximum displacement a point moves from its rest position when a wave passes.

On a graph, the vertical axis (y-axis) is the amplitude of a waveform and this simply means that, it's measured vertically.

Mathematically, the amplitude of a wave is given by the formula;

x = Asin(ωt + ϕ)

Where;

x is displacement of the wave measured in meters.

A is the amplitude.

ω is the angular frequency measured in rad/s.

t is the time period measured in seconds.

ϕ is the phase angle.
