Kepler’s third law can be used to derive the relation between the orbital period, P (measured in days), and the semimajor axis,

NikAS [45]

Kepler's 3rd law is given as
P² = kA³
where
P = period, days
A = semimajor axis, AU
k = constant

Given:
P = 687 days
A = 1.52 AU

Therefore
k = P²/A³ = 687²/1.52³ = 1.3439 x 10⁵ days²/AU³

Answer: 1.3439 x 10⁵ (days²/AU³)

Two astronauts, each having a mass of 74.3 kg are connected by a 13.1 m rope of negligible mass. They are isolated in space, orb

murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

L = 5076.5 kg m² / s

Explanation:

The angular momentum of a particle is given by

L = r xp

L = r m v sin θ

the bold are vectors, where the angle is between the position vector and the velocity, in this case it is 90º therefore the sine is 1

as we have two bodies

L = 2 r m v

let's find the distance from the center of mass, let's place a reference frame on one of the masses

$x_{cm}$ = $\frac{1}{M} \sum x_{i} m_{i}$ i

x_{cm} = $\frac{1}{m+m} ( 0 + l m)$

x_{cm} = $\frac{1}{2m} lm$

x_{cm} = $\frac{1}{2}$

x_{cm} = 13.1 / 2 = 6.05 m

let's calculate

L = 2 6.05 74.3 5.65

L = 5076.5 kg m² / s

A linear accelerator uses alternating electric fields to accelerate electrons to close to the speed of light. A small number of

kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

8.1 x 10^13 electrons passed through the accelerator over 1.8 hours.

Explanation:

The total charge accumulated in 1.8 hours will be:

Total Charge = I x t = (-2.0 nC/s)(1.8 hrs)(3600 s/ 1 hr)

Total Charge = - 12960 nC = - 12.96 x 10^(-6) C

Since, the charge on one electron is e = - 1.6 x 10^(-19) C

Therefore, no. of electrons will be:

No. of electrons = Total Charge/Charge on one electron

No. of electrons = [- 12.96 x 10^(-6) C]/[- 1.6 x 10^(-19) C]

<u>No. of electrons = 8.1 x 10^13 electrons</u>

A farsighted boy has a near point at 2.3 m and requires eyeglasses to correct his vision. Corrective lenses are available in inc

tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

P = 3.5 D

Explanation:

As we know that convex lens is to be used to make the near point of eye to be correct

So we will have

$\frac{1}{d_i} + \frac{1}{d_o} = \frac{1}{f}$

here we have

$d_i = 2.3 m = 230 cm$

$d_o = 25 cm$

now plug in all values into the formula

$-\frac{1}{230} + \frac{1}{25} = \frac{1}{f}$

$f = 28 cm$

now for power of lens

$P = \frac{1}{f}$

$P = \frac{1}{0.28} = 3.5 D$

so the power in dioptre is

P = 3.5 D

Which phrase best describes wave motion?

Fittoniya [83]

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option A. Wave motion is a movement of energy through space or a medium . Some waves are visible light waves, heat waves, sound waves and the like. Hope this answers the question.
