Chapter 7, Problem 40EAP
Comparing Planetary Conditions. Use both Table 7.1 and Appendix Eto answer each of the following.
- Which column of data would you use to find out which planet has the shortest days? Are there any notable differences in the length of a day for the different types of planets? Explain.
- Which column of data would you use to find out which planets should have seasons? Explain.
- Which columntells you how much a planet’s orbit deviates from a perfect circle? For each planet, use that column to decide whether you would expect its average surface temperature to vary over the course of its orbit, and why.

Lab 8 Part 3 PHET Wave Interface simulation.
I am having trouble with this part of the lab.
Mick and Rick are twins born on Earth in the year 2175. Rick grows up to be an Earth-bound robotics technician while Mick becomes an intergalactic astronaut. Mick leaves the Earth on his first space mission in the year 2200 and travels, according to his clock, for 10 years at a speed of 0.75c. Unfortunately, at this point in his journey, the structure of his ship undergoes mechanical breakdown and the ship explodes. How old is Rick when his brother dies?

Determine whether a current is induced in the metal loop. If so, indicate the direction of the current in the loop, either clockwise or counterclockwise when seen from the right of the loop. The axis of the magnet is lined up with the center of the loop. For the action depicted in (Figure 5), indicate the direction of the induced current in the loop (clockwise, counterclockwise or zero, when seen from the right of the loop). I know that the current is clockwise, I just dont understand why. Please fully explain why it's clockwise, Thank youarrow_forward
