The mass of the Sun is 2 × 1030 kg, and the mass of Saturn is 5.68 × 1026 kg. The distance between Saturn and the Sun is 9.58 AU

. Veronica is solving the following equation to calculate the orbital period of Saturn, but there is an error in the equation. T = What should Veronica change to correct the equation?
change the position of 2 x 1030 kg and 9.58 AU
change 2 x 1030 kg to 5.68 x 1026 kg
change the square root to a cube root
change 9.58 AU to the distance in meters

The formula for computing the orbital time period of a body is given as:

T² = 4π²r³ / GM

where T is the time period, r is the distance between the two bodies, G is the gravitational constant and M is the mass of the body that is being orbited. If we compute this time using SI units, the working is:

9.58 AU is 1.43 x 10¹² meters

T = √[(4*π²*(1.43 x 10¹²)³) / (6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ * 2 x 10³⁰)]
T = 9.30 x 10⁸ seconds which is approximately 29 years


Using the astronomical units, distance is in astronomical units and the mass is in solar masses. In these conditions, the ratio:
4π²/G = 1 so

T² = a³ (since the solar mass of the sun is 1)

T = √(9.58)³
T = 27 years

Susan and Hannah are each riding a swing. Susan has a mass of 25 kilograms, and Hannah has a mass of 30 kilograms. Susan’s swing
Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

Kinetic energy is given by:

K.E. = 0.5 m v²

Susan has mass, m = 25 kg

Velocity with which Susan moves is, v = 10 m/s

Hannah has mass, m' = 30 kg

Velocity with which Hannah moves is, v' = 8.5 m/s

<u>Kinetic energy of Susan:</u>

0.5 m v² = 0.5 × 25 kg × (10 m/s)² = 1250 J

<u>Kinetic energy of Hannah:</u>

0.5 m v'² = 0.5 × 30 kg × (8.5 m/s)² = 1083.75 J

Susan's kinetic energy is <u>1250 J </u>and Hannah's kinetic energy is <u>1083.75 J</u>.

Since kinetic energy is dependent on mass and square of speed. Thus, speed has a greater effect than mass. As it is evident from the above example. Susan has greater kinetic energy due to higher speed than Hannah.

Suppose you are myopic (nearsighted). You can clearly focus on objects that are as far away as 52.5 cm away. You can clearly foc
Lilit [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Image of distant object will be made at far point or at 52.5 so

object distance u = infinity

image distance v = - 52.5 cm

focal length required = f

Lens formula

1 / v - 1 / u = 1 / f

1 /  - 52.5 - 0 = 1 / f

f =  -52.5 cm

= -.525 m

Power P = 1 / f = -  1 / .525

= -  1.90

now , for eye with glass we shall find new near point .

v = ?

u = - 17.2 cm

f = -  52.5 cm

1 / v - 1 / u = 1 / f

  1 / v + 1 / 17.2 = -  1 / 52.5

1 / v  = - 1 / 17.2 -    1 / 52.5

= - .05813 -  .019

= - .07713

u = - 12.96 cm

so new near point will be 12.96 cm

molecular cloud <interstellar cloud <1 Msun protostar <1 Msun star <intercloud gas

Explanation:

<u>Molecular cloud-</u> They are a variety of interstellar cloud in which molecular hydrogen can sustain themselves. They have a very low temperature ranging from -440 to -370 degrees Fahrenheit or between<u> 10 to 50 Kelvin. </u>Owing to their extremely low temperature, they appear mostly dark when viewed through telescopes.

<u>Interstellar cloud-</u> They are a congregation of a large number of interstellar gases, dust and plasma in any galaxy or universe. They have varying temperature depending on their proximity to a star. E.g. Neutral hydrogen atom clouds have a temperature of around <u>just 100 Kelvin</u> while those in the near vicinity of a star have temperatures as high as 10,000 Kelvin.

<u>1 Msun star-</u> These stars have temperature anywhere between <u>5300 and 6000 Kelvin</u>. The main source of such high surface temperature is nuclear fusion process where elemental hydrogen molecules are fused to form helium molecules.  

<u>1 Msun protostar-</u> protostar is rather a young star which is still in formation phase (i.e. gathering mass from the parent molecular cloud). They have temperature anywhere between <u>2000-3000</u> kelvin and are accompanied by dust usually.

<u>Intercloud gas- </u>These are the remainder gases that are spread throughout the interstellar space. This Intercloud gas is divided into warm intercloud medium and extremely hot coronal gas with temperatures comparing to Sun’s corona. Warm intercloud forms the dominant part of intercloud gas with a temperature around <u>8000 Kelvin</u>.
