Explanation:

The orbital radius of the Earth is r_1=1.496\times 10^{11}\ m

The orbital radius of the Mercury is r_2=5.79 \times 10^{10}\ m

The orbital radius of the Pluto is r_3=5.91 \times 10^{12}\ m

We need to find the time required for light to travel from the Sun to each of the  three planets.

(a) For Sun -Earth,

Kepler's third law :

T_1^2=\dfrac{4\pi ^2}{GM}r_1^3

M is mass of sun, M=1.989\times 10^{30}\ kg

So,

T_1^2=\dfrac{4\pi ^2}{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 1.989\times 10^{30}}\times 1.496\times 10^{11}\\\\T_1=\sqrt{\dfrac{4\pi^{2}}{6.67\times10^{-11}\times1.989\times10^{30}}\times1.496\times10^{11}}\\\\T_1=2\times 10^{-4}\ s

(b) For Sun -Mercury,

T_2^2=\dfrac{4\pi ^2}{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 1.989\times 10^{30}}\times 5.79 \times 10^{10}\ m\\\\T_2=\sqrt{\dfrac{4\pi^{2}}{6.67\times10^{-11}\times1.989\times10^{30}}\times 5.79 \times 10^{10}}\ m\\\\T_2=1.31\times 10^{-4}\ s

(c) For Sun-Pluto,

T_3^2=\dfrac{4\pi ^2}{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 1.989\times 10^{30}}\times 5.91 \times 10^{12}\\\\T_3=\sqrt{\dfrac{4\pi^{2}}{6.67\times10^{-11}\times1.989\times10^{30}}\times 5.91 \times 10^{12}}\\\\T_3=1.32\times 10^{-3}\ s

Fluid pressure changes with depth are assumed to be linear. Which statement best explains why this does not hold true for atmosp
ankoles [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

Pressure due to fluid is directly proportional to the depth of fluid, density of the fluid and the value of acceleration due to gravity.

P = h d g

Where, h is the depth, d be the density and g be the acceleration due to gravity.

If we talk about teh atmospheric pressure, the density of air goes on decreasing as we go up and up. o we cannot say that it is directly depends only on the depth of air, it also depends on the changing density of air.

You hold a bucket in one hand. In the bucket is a 500 g rock. You swing the bucket so the rock moves in a vertical circle 2.2 m
slavikrds [6]

Answer:v=3.28 m/s

Explanation:

Given

mass of rock m=500 gm

diameter of circle d=2.2 m

radius r=\frac{2.2}{2}=1.1 m

At highest Point

mg+N=\frac{mv^2}{r}

At highest Point N=0 because mass is just balanced by centripetal Force

thus mg=\frac{mv^2}{r}

v=\sqrt{gr}

v=\sqrt{9.8\times 1.1}

v=\sqrt{10.78}

v=3.28 m/s
