For astronomical objects, the time period can be calculated using:
T² = (4π²a³)/GM
where T is time in Earth years, a is distance in Astronomical units, M is solar mass (1 for the sun)
Thus,
T² = a³
a = ∛(29.46²)
a = 0.67 AU
1 AU = 1.496 × 10⁸ Km
0.67 * 1.496 × 10⁸ Km
= 1.43 × 10⁹ Km

konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

Space probes are made to conduct science experiments. They do not have people on them. Space probes have helped scientists get information about our solar system. Most probes are not designed to return to Earth. Some have landed on other planets! Others have flown past the planets and taken pictures of them for scientists to see. There are even some space probes that go into orbit around other planets and study them for a long time. The information they gather is used to help us understand the weather and other changes which happen on planets other than the Earth. This information is important in helping to plan other space missions such as ones to Mars and to Saturn.

What is the angular displacement of a minute hand of a clock after 3 minutes?​
Inessa [10]

Answer:

π/10 rads

Explanation:

It takes an hour (60 minutes) for the minute's hand to turn a full circle or achieve an angular rotation of

2πl rad.

Now, number of periods of 3 minutes in an hour is;

Number of periods = 60/3 = 20 periods

Thus, 3 minutes rotation accounts for 1/20 of 2π the rotation of the minute's hand in an hour.

Thus;

Angular displacement = (1/20) * 2π = π/10 rads

The pupil of a cat's eye narrows to a slit width of 0.5 mm in daylight. What is the angular resolution of the cat's eye in dayli
Elenna [48]

Answer:

C. 10⁻³ rads

Explanation:

Here, we shall use Rayleigh's Criterion to find out the angular resolution of Cat's eye during day light. Rayleigh's Criterion is written as follows:

θ = λ/a

where,

θ = angular resolution of Cat's eye = ?

λ = wavelength = 500 nm = 5 x 10⁻⁷ m

a = slit width of eye = 0.5 mm = 5 x 10⁻⁴ m

Therefore,

θ = (5 x 10⁻⁷ m/5 x 10⁻⁴ m)

Therefore,

θ = 0.001

θ = Sin⁻¹(0.001)

θ = 0.001 rad = 1 x 10⁻³ rad

Hence, the correct answer is:

<u>C. 10⁻³ rads</u>
