In an extrasolar planetary system containing a single planet, the parent star is measured to move about its center of mass every

24 years. Given this, what is the orbital period of the planet?

Answer:

Orbital Time Period is 24 years

Explanation:

This can be explained by the definition of time period.

Time period can be defined as the time taken by an object to complete one cycle, here, time taken to complete one revolution.

Also, we know that an extra solar planet which is also called as an exo planet is that planet which is outside our solar system and orbits any star other than our sun. The system in consideration is extra solar system with a single planet.

Therefore, the time taken by the parent star to move about its mass center is the orbital time period that is 24 years.

To solve the problem, it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the kinematic equations of the description of angular movement.

The angular velocity can be described as

$\omega_f = \omega_0 + \alpha t$

Where,

$\omega_f =$ Final Angular Velocity

$\omega_0 =$ Initial Angular velocity

$\alpha =$ Angular acceleration

t = time

The relation between the tangential acceleration is given as,

$a = \alpha r$

where,

r = radius.

PART A ) Using our values and replacing at the previous equation we have that

$\omega_f = (94rpm)(\frac{2\pi rad}{60s})= 9.8436rad/s$

$\omega_0 = 63rpm(\frac{2\pi rad}{60s})= 6.5973rad/s$

$t = 11s$

Replacing the previous equation with our values we have,

$\omega_f = \omega_0 + \alpha t$

$9.8436 = 6.5973 + \alpha (11)$

$\alpha = \frac{9.8436- 6.5973}{11}$

$\alpha = 0.295rad/s^2$

The tangential velocity then would be,

$a = \alpha r$

$a = (0.295)(0.2)$

$a = 0.059m/s^2$

Part B) To find the displacement as a function of angular velocity and angular acceleration regardless of time, we would use the equation

$\omega_f^2=\omega_0^2+2\alpha\theta$

Replacing with our values and re-arrange to find $\theta,$

$\theta = \frac{\omega_f^2-\omega_0^2}{2\alpha}$

$\theta = \frac{9.8436^2-6.5973^2}{2*0.295}$

$\theta = 90.461rad$

That is equal in revolution to

$\theta = 90.461rad(\frac{1rev}{2\pi rad}) = 14.397rev$

The linear displacement of the system is,

$x = \theta*(2\pi*r)$

$x = 14.397*(2\pi*\frac{0.25}{2})$

$x = 11.3m$

what do you think is the purpose of a periscope? Are there any other uses for periscopes besides for submarines?

spin [16.1K]

Military personnel also use periscopes in some gun turrets and in armoured vehicles. More complex periscopes using prisms or advanced fibre optics instead of mirrors and providing magnification operate on submarines and in various fields of science
