you can determine the other. It is possible to find the semi-major axis of many orbits from information tables about astronomical objects. Once you have the semi-major axis, you can find the period of an orbit from the semi-major axis formula. ...
In summary, the author found an equation for the explicit integration of the shape, r(\theta), of a one-body-problem (a particle rotating about a set point, O) for arbitrary \mathbf{f} = -f(r)\hat{\mathbf{r}}, and used it to find r(\theta) for an inverse squ...
Dinosaurs grew in population and diversity during their time on Earth before becoming extinct at the end of the Cretaceous period. No one knows precisely how many types of dinosaurs inhabited the planet. There are currently about 700 named species, but this probably represents a fraction of the ...
Similar to non-ionizing radiation, ionizing radiation is energy in the form of particles or waves. However, ionizing radiation is so high in energy it can break chemical bonds -- meaning it can charge (or ionize) an atom that interacts with it. At a lower energy, it may strip off a co...

Elon Musk is everywhere, and his high visibility impacts multiple stocks in the billionaire's orbit. Brian O'ConnellNov. 20, 2024 10 Best-Performing ETFs of 2024 When it comes to maximizing returns, diversification often doesn't pay.
There are holograms on most driver's licenses, ID cards and credit cards. If you're not old enough to drive or use credit, you can still find holograms around your home. They're part of CD, DVD and software packaging, as well as just about everything sold as "official merchandise...
To top things off, Mercury retrograde also has what’s called a “shadow period,” so you may feel the #retroshade a couple of weeks before and after the official Mercury Retrograde dates. Great, right? What to expect during Mercury Retrograde ...
So Einstein helped the "Star Trek" writers manipulate space in a science fictional universe, but is it actually possible to build a spaceship that could propel people across vast galaxies in a relatively short period of time? Physicist Miguel Alcubierre has suggested the use of so-called "exotic...
Watch a distant planet's vast orbit in spectacular time-lapse Scientists don't know what these mysterious planets are made of NASA thinks space is teeming with planets that have gone rogueCheops confirmed the orbital period of the third planet in the star system, the key to figuring out the...
