Answer:

The closer a planet is to the sun, the shorter its period of revolution. The farther away a planet is from the sun, the longer its period of revolution. so it depends on how close and how far it is to have a different time period. so if the if it is close then the period of revolution will be shorter because they need more space to have a longer period. if it is spaced out then it will have a longer period because they do have space.

A block slides to a stop as it goes 47 m across a level floor in a time of 6.35 s. a) What was the initial velocity? b) What is

UNO [17]

Answer :

(a) The initial velocity is, 14.8 m/s

(b) The acceleration is, $-2.33m/s^2$

Explanation :

By the 1st equation of motion,

$v=u+at$ ...........(1)

where,

v = final velocity = 0 s

u = initial velocity

t = time = 6.35 s

a = acceleration

The equation 1 will be:

$0=u+a(6.35}$

$u=-6.35a$ ..........(2)

By the 2nd equation of motion,

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2$ ...........(3)

where,

s = distance = 47 m

Now substitute equation 2 in 3, we get:

$47=(-6.35a)\times (6.35)+\frac{1}{2}\times a\times (6.35)^2$

By solving the term, we get:

$a=-2.33m/s^2$

The acceleration is, $-2.33m/s^2$

Now we have to calculate the initial velocity.

Using equation 2, we gte:

$u=-6.35a$

$u=-6.35s\times (-2.33m/s^2)$

$u=14.8m/s$

The initial velocity is, 14.8 m/s

(b) Figure 3.32 shows the orbit of a planet around the Sun. Compare the linear speed of the planet at positions X, Y and Z.

Viefleur [7K]

At Z ... slowest speed

At Y ... fastest speed

At X ... medium speed

Wherever it is in its orbit, the line from the planet to the Sun smears over the same amount of area every second.

That's Kepler's second law of planetary motion.

The reason this happens is: That's how gravity works. (A better explanation is available, but first you have to be able to twirl calculus and solid geometry in the air on long sticks.)

1. What is the temperature in Kelvin and Fahrenheit of silver at 51.4oC?1. What is the temperature in Kelvin and Fahrenheit of s

horsena [70]

Answer:

Temperature in Fahrenheit will be 124.52°F and in kelvin 324.4 K

Explanation:

We have given temperature in of silver in degree Celsius as $51.4^{\circ}C$

We have to convert this temperature in Fahrenheit and kelvin

For Fahrenheit

Temperature in Fahrenheit = $\frac{9}{5}\times 51.4+32=124.52^{\circ}F$

For kelvin

In kelvin = 51.4+273 = 324.4 K

So temperature in Fahrenheit will be 124.52°F and in kelvin 324.4 K
