to determine the mass of the central object, we must apply newton's version of kepler's third law, which requires knowing the or

bital period and average orbital distance (semimajor axis) for at least one star. we could consider any of the stars shown in the figure, so let's consider the star with the highlighted orbit (chosen because its dots are relatively easy to distinguish). what is the approximate orbital period of this star?

The approximate orbital period of this star is 13 years.

<h3>What is Kepler's third law?</h3>

The square of a planet's period of revolution around the sun in an elliptical orbit is directly proportional to the cube of its semi-major axis, states Kepler's law of periods.

T² ∝ a³

The time it takes for one rotation to complete depends on how closely the planet orbits the sun. With the use of the equations for Newton's theories of motion and gravitation, Kepler's third law assumes a more comprehensive shape:

P² = 4π² /[G(M₁+ M₂)] × a³

where M₁ and M₂ are the two circling objects' respective masses in solar masses.

Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

(a) 152.85 Nm

(b) 1528.5 Nm

Explanation:

According to the formula of power

P = τ ω

ω = 2 π f

(a) f = 2500 rpm = 2500 / 60 = 41.67 rps

So, 40 x 1000 = τ x 2 x 3.14 x 41.67

τ = 152.85 Nm

(b) f = 250 rpm = 250 / 60 = 4.167 rps

So, 40 x 1000 = τ x 2 x 3.14 x 4.167

τ = 1528.5 Nm

A shopper walks westward 2.8 meters in the first 5 minutes and then eastward 9.2 meters in the next 10 minutes. What is the shop
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

12m

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Distance walked westward  = 2.8m

Time of travel  = 5min

Distance walked eastward = 9.2m

Time of travel  = 10min

Unknown:

The total shopper's travel distance  = ?

Solution:

Total distance traveled is the sum of the length of path covered by a body. It is a scalar quantity.

 Total distance = distance walked westward + distance walked eastward

  Total distance  = 2.8m + 9.2m  = 12m

maksim [4K]

v

Convert the given temperatures from celsius to kelvin since we are dealing with gas.

To convert to kelvin, add 273.15 to the temperature in celsius.

T1 = 22 + 273.15 = 295.15 k

T2 = 4 + 273.15 = 277.15 k

V1 = 0.5 L

Let's find the final volume (V2).

To solve for V2 apply Charles Law formula below:

\frac{V_1}{T_1}=\frac{V_2}{T_2}
