Answer: 17.83 AU
Explanation:
According to Kepler’s Third Law of Planetary motion <em>“The square of the orbital period of a planet is proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis (size) of its orbit”. </em>
(1)
Talking in general, this law states a relation between the <u>orbital period</u>
of a body (moon, planet, satellite, comet) orbiting a greater body in space with the <u>size</u>
of its orbit.
However, if
is measured in <u>years</u>, and
is measured in <u>astronomical units</u> (equivalent to the distance between the Sun and the Earth:
), equation (1) becomes:
(2)
This means that now both sides of the equation are equal.
Knowing
and isolating
from (2):
(3)
(4)
Finally:
(5)
Answer:
When the velocity of an object changes it is said to be accelerating. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with time. ... Acceleration occurs anytime an object's speed increases or decreases, or it changes direction.
Answer:
(a) 0.017m/s^2
(b) 17/100,000
(c) 0.17m, 0.558ft
Explanation:
(a) speed = 60mph = 60m/1h × 1h/3600s = 0.017m/s, time = 10s
Acceleration (a) = speed ÷ time = 0.017m/s ÷ 10s = 0.0017m/s^2
(b) g = 9.8m/s^2, a = 0.0017m/s^2
a/g = 0.0017/9.8 = 0.00017 = 17/100,000
(c) Distance = speed × time = 0.017m/s × 10s = 0.17m
Distance in foot = 0.17 × 3.2808ft = 0.558ft
Refraction is the bending of a wave disturbance as it passes at an angle from one medium into another
Answer:
Spontaneous emission is a quantum effect, which in a semiclassical picture can be described as an emission which is stimulated by vacuum noise.
