The radial velocity method preferentially detects large planets close to the central star

what is the Radial velocity:

The radial velocity technique is able to detect planets around low-mass stars, such as M-type (red dwarf) stars.

This is due to the fact that low mass stars are more affected by the gravitational tug of planets.

When a planet orbits around a star, the star wobbles a little.

From this, we can determine the mass of the planet and its distance from the star.

hence we can say that,

option D is correct.

A world-class sprinter running a 100 m dash was clocked at 5.4 m/s 1.0 s after starting running and at 9.8 m/s 1.5 s later. In w

cupoosta [38]

Answer:

<em>The output power is greater in the interval from 1.0 s to 2.5 s</em>

Explanation:

<u>Physical Power </u>

It measures the amount of work W an object does in certain time t. The formula needed to compute power is

$\displaystyle P=\frac{W}{t}$

Work can be computed in several ways since we are given the motion conditions, we'll use this formula, for F= applied force, x=distance parallel to F

$W=F.x$

The second Newton's law gives us the net force as

$F=m.a$

being m the mass of the object and a the acceleration it has for a given period of time. In our problem, we have two different behaviors for each interval and we must calculate this force since the acceleration is changing. Let's calculate the acceleration in the first interval. We can use the formula for the final speed vf knowing the initial speed vo (which is 0 because the sprinter starts from rest), the acceleration a, and the time t:

$v_f=v_o+at$

$v_f=at$

Solving for a

$\displaystyle a=\frac{v_f}{t}={5.4}{1}$

$a=5.4\ m/s^2$

The distance traveled in the interval is given by

$\displaystyle x=v_o.t+\frac{a.t^2}{2}$

Since vo=0

$\displaystyle x=\frac{a.t^2}{2}=\frac{5.4(1)^2}{2}$

$x=2.7\ m$

The force is given by

$F=m.a$

We don't know the value of m, so the force is

$F=2.7m$

Computing the work done by the sprinter

$W=F.x=2.7m(5.4)$

$W=14.58m$

The power is finally computed

$\displaystyle P=\frac{W}{t}=\frac{14.58m}{1}$

$P=14.58m$

During the second interval, from t=1 sec to 1.5 sec, the speed changes from 5.4 m/s to 9.8 m/s. This allows us to compute the second acceleration

$\displaystyle a=\frac{v_f-v_o}{t}=\frac{9.8-5.4}{0.5}$

$a=8.8\ m/s^2$

The distance is

$\displaystyle x=(5.4).(0.5)+\frac{8.8(0.5)^2}{2}$

$x=3.8\ m$

The net force is

$F=m(8.8)=8.8m$

The work done by the sprinter is now computed as

$W=8.8m(3.8)=33.44m$

At last, the output power is

$\displaystyle P=\frac{33.44m}{0.5}=66.88m$

By comparing both results, and being m the same for both parts, we conclude the output power is greater in the interval from 1.0 s to 2.5 s

Which of the following statements about Masters programs is not correct?

uranmaximum [27]

The correct answer is C. The level of competition is not very high in most Masters programs.

Explanation:

In sports, the word "master" is used to define athletes older than 30 and that usually are professional or have trained for many years, although novates are also allowed. This means in most cases in Master programs and teams a high level of competition can be expected due to the experience and extensive training of Master athletes. Indeed, many records in the field of sport belong to Master athletes rather than younger athletes. According to this, the incorrect statement is "The level of competition is not very high in most Masters programs".
