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

exis [7]
The answer is a. endothermic.
In endothermic reaction, as the name suggests, the reactants require energy absorption to form and complete the chemical reaction to form products.
And even if you don't know the answer, you can exclude all other answers by scientific logic and you will be left with the correct answer.

Hope this helps.

Which idea is associated with Copernicus? Select one: a. The orbits of the planets are circles. b. The orbits of the planets are
Schach [20]

Answer:

d. The earth rotates around the sun

Explanation:

  • Nicolas Copernicus is considered the first person to give the theory of heliocentric, or Sun-centered system of our planetary system.
  • In the heliocentric system, it is considered that the sun is stationary and the earth revolves around the sun.
  • He stated that the sun is at the center of the universe and the earth spins on its axis once daily and revolves around the sun in one year.
  • And today we know it is correct that earth rotates on its own axis and also revolves around the sun.

PLS I NEED HELP ASAAP​
Lerok [7]

Answer:

Option A

Explanation:

The Equation represents the displacement of the object which is represented by x

x=t-t^2

so, x_0  means when time is zero so we replace t with zero in the equation,

x_0=(0)-(0)^2\\x_0=0

now for v which is velocity we need to differentiate the function as the formula for velocity is rate of change of displacement over time so we derivate the equation once and get,

v=1-2t\\

now for  v_0  we insert t = 0 and get

v_0=1-2(0)\\v_0=1

now for a which is acceleration the formula of acceleration is rate of change of velocity over time, so we differentiate the the equation of v(velocity) once or the equation of x(displacement) twice so now we get,

a=-2

so Option A is your answer.

Remember derivative of a constant is always zero because a constant value has no rate of change has its a constant hence the derivative is 0

Which of the following describes the effect of a convex mirror on light rays?
natulia [17]
B. It reflects light rays outward.

A convex mirror looks like this ⊂.  So when light rays hit the outward curves, it bends the light rays outwards, and backwards,  and it would appear to be coming from its center called the focus.
