Vesta is a minor planet (asteroid) that takes 3.63 years to orbit the Sun.
1 answer:
Using Kepler's third law, the average sun -Vesta distance is 2.36 AU.
According to Kepler's laws, the square of the period of revolution of planets are proportional to the cube of their average distances from the sun. Hence, we can write;
Where;
T = period of the planet
r = average distance of the planet
When;
T = 3.63 years
r =
r =
r = 2.36 AU

Answer:
65.9°
Explanation:
When light goes through air to glass
angle of incidence, i = 35°
refractive index, n = 1.5
Let r be the angle of refraction
Use Snell's law
Sin r = 0.382
r = 22.5°
Now the ray is incident on the glass surface.
A = r + r'
Where, r' be the angle of incidence at other surface
r' = 60° - 22.5° = 37.5°
Now use Snell's law at other surface
Where, i' be the angle at which the light exit from other surface.
Sin i' = 0.913
i' = 65.9°
Answer:
a) t = 11.2 s
b) v = 70.5 mph
Explanation:
a)
- Since we need to find the time, we could use the definition of acceleration (rearranging terms) as follows:
- where vf = 50 mph, and v₀ = 10 mph.
- However, we still lack the value of a.
- Assuming that the acceleration is constant, we can use the following kinematic equation:
- Since we know that Δx = 500 ft, we could solve (2) for a.
- In order to simplify things, let's first to convert v₀ and vf from mph to m/s, as follows:
- We can do the same process with Δx, from ft to m, as follows:
- Replacing (3), (4), and (5) in (2) and solving for a, we get:
- Replacing (6) in (1) we finally get the value of the time t:
b)
- Since the acceleration is constant, as we know the displacement is another 500 ft (152.4m), if we replace in (2) v₀ by the vf we got in a), we can find the new value of vf, as follows:
- If we convert vf again to mph, we have:
