In preparation for the final exam, our astronomy study group has reconvened to discuss Mercury's unique orbital properties. They

have expressed the following ideas: Student A: When Mercury revolves around the Sun 4 times, it rotates around its axis 6 times. Student B: When Mercury revolves around the Sun 6 times, it rotates around its axis 10 times. Student C: When Mercury revolves around the Sun 8 times, it rotates around its axis 12 times.

Answer:

The only incorrect statement is from student B

Explanation:

The planet mercury has a period of revolution of 58.7 Earth days and a rotation period around the sun of 87 days 23 ha, approximately 88 Earth days.

Let's examine student claims using these rotation periods

Student A. The time for 4 turns around the sun is

           t = 4 88

           t = 352 / 58.7 Earth days

In this time I make as many rotations on itself each one with a time to = 58.7 Earth days

           #_rotaciones = t / to

           #_rotations = 352 / 58.7

           #_rotations = 6

therefore this statement is TRUE

student B. the planet rotates 6 times around the Sun

          t = 6 88

          t = 528 s

The number of rotations on itself is

           #_rotaciones = t / to

           #_rotations = 528 / 58.7

           #_rotations = 9

False, turn 9 times

Student C. 8 turns around the sun

           t = 8 88

           t = 704 days

the number of turns on itself is

            #_rotaciones = t / to

            #_rotations = 704 / 58.7

            #_rotations = 12

True

The only incorrect statement is from student B

A car is travelling with a velocity of 10 m/s and has a mass of 550 kg. The<br> car has<br> energy.
Elenna [48]

Answer: The car has a kinetic energy (because it's in motion) of:  27500J

Explanation:

Formula: E=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

E=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

E=\frac{1}{2}(550kg)(10m/s)^2

E=\frac{1}{2}(550kg)(100m^2/s^2)

E=\frac{1}{2}(55000J)\\E=27500J

A stalled car is being pushed up a hill at constant velocity by three people. The net force on the car is Group of answer choice
vfiekz [6]

Answer:

Zero

Explanation:

Net force can be defined as the vector sum of all the forces acting on a body or an object i.e the sum of all forces acting simultaneously on a body or an object.

Mathematically, net force is given by the formula;

Fnet = Fapp + Fg

Where;

Fnet is the net force.

Fapp is the applied force.

Fg is the force due to gravitation.

In this scenario, a stalled car is being pushed up a hill at constant velocity by three people. Thus, the net force on the car is zero because all the forces acting on any physical object is equal to zero and represents a constant velocity; by balancing or cancelling each other out.

According to Sir Isaac Newton's First Law of Motion which is known as Law of Inertia, it states that an object or a physical body in motion will continue in its state of motion at continuous velocity (the same speed and direction) or, if at rest, will remain at rest unless acted upon by an external force.
