According to Kepler's Third Law, a solar-system planet that has an orbital radius of 4 AU would have an orbital period of about
NARA [144]

Answer:

Orbital period, T = 1.00074 years

Explanation:

It is given that,

Orbital radius of a solar system planet, r=4\ AU=1.496\times 10^{11}\ m

The orbital period of the planet can be calculated using third law of Kepler's. It is as follows :

T^2=\dfrac{4\pi^2}{GM}r^3

M is the mass of the sun

T^2=\dfrac{4\pi^2}{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 1.989\times 10^{30}}\times (1.496\times 10^{11})^3    

T^2=\sqrt{9.96\times 10^{14}}\ s

T = 31559467.6761 s

T = 1.00074 years

So, a solar-system planet that has an orbital radius of 4 AU would have an orbital period of about 1.00074 years.

How do X-rays and ultrasounds differ ?
Nonamiya [84]
Ultrasound is vibrations, just like sound is vibrations. Ultrasound travels though the body just like sound would and when it hits something, it bounces back, where it is picked up by a receiver. which then makes an image out of it.

X-rays are electromagnetic waves, like visible light. Other examples of electromagnetic waves are infrared, and ultraviolet. But people cant see infrared nor ultraviolet, even though they are just like visible light. The difference between visible light and all these other kinds of light are just like the difference between red and blue. They are both light but different colors, ultraviolet and infrared are colors we cannot see, and in fact, we can see only a tiny portion of the colors out there. X-rays are just like all these kinds of light and we cant see it but it is able to go through most of the body, bot not bone. Doctors use x-rays to see bones and things like that in the body because x-rays won't pass through bone, but they will go through muscle and skin. So when a doctor takes an x-ray, its just like making a silhouette, but with colors we cant see. Of course, the x-rays make the photo paper change color and that's how we are able to see the image but the principle is the same.
