Answer:

(a) Radius = 4.6 x 10^11 m

(b) speed = 16.96 km/s

Explanation:

Time period, T = 5.4 earth years

mass of sun, M = 1.989 x 10^30 kg

(a) Let the orbital radius is R.

use the formula of period

$T^2 = \frac{4 \pi^2 R^3}{G M}\\\\\left ( 5.4\times 365\times 24\times 3600 \right )^2 = \frac{4\times3.14\times 3.14\times R^3}{6.67\times10^{-11}\times 1.989\times 10^{30}}\\\\R = 4.6\times 10^{11} m$

(b) Let the speed is v.

$v=\frac{2 \pi\times R}{T}\\\\v=\frac{2\times 3.14\times 4.6\times 10^{11}}{5.4\times 365\times 24\times 3600}\\\\v = 16963.6 m/s =16.96 km/s$

Which velocity-time graph matches the position-time graph?

skelet666 [1.2K]

The answer is Graph C. To explain, this is because as we look at the position vs time graph, we see that after the first second, it was 30 meters from the start. That would mean that it took 1 second to get to 30 meters. That is shown in Graph c

Us your understanding of asexual reproduction to explain why is it important that organisms reproduce in a variety of ways.

valentina_108 [34]

The genetic material is identical in asexual reproduction- in order for organisms to be strong they need variety so if a disease comes, some of the species may be able to fight it off because of their varied genetics

You have a battery marked " 6.00 V 6.00 V ." When you draw a current of 0.383 A 0.383 A from it, the potential difference betwee

Archy [21]

Answer:

V = 4.81 V

Explanation:

As the potential difference between the battery terminals, is less than the rated value of the battery, this means that there is some loss in the internal resistance of the battery.
We can calculate this loss, applying Ohm's law to the internal resistance, as follows:

$V_{rint} = I* r_{int}$

The value of the potential difference between the terminals of the battery, is just the voltage of the battery, minus the loss in the internal resistance, as follows:

$V = V_{b} - V_{rint} = 5.03 V = 6.0 V - 0.383 A* r_{int}$

We can solve for rint, as follows:

$r_{int} = \frac{V_{b}-V}{I} =\frac{6.0V-5.03V}{0.383A} = 2.53 \Omega$

When the circuit draws from battery a current I of 0.469A, we can find the potential difference between the terminals of the battery, as follows:

$V = V_{b} - V_{rint} = 6.0 V - 0.469 A* 2.53 \Omega= 6.0 V - 1.19 V = 4.81 V$

As the current draw is larger, the loss in the internal resistance will be larger too, so the potential difference between the terminals of the battery will be lower.

Which source is most likely an authority on the subject? Dr. Vale, a pediatrician, discusses electrical circuitry on her home-im

Naddika [18.5K]

The correct answer is Dr. Patel, a cardiologist, presents her findings on heart disease.

A cardiologist is a heart doctor, so he would be the highest authority to speak about heart disease. The others are all amateurs in their businesses.
