you are the science officer on a visit to a distant solar system. prior to landing on a planet you measure its diameter to be 1.

8 × 107 m and its rotation period to be 22.3 hours. you have previously determined that the planet orbits 8.6 × 1011 m from its star with a period of 402 earth days. once on the surface you find that the acceleration due to gravity is 63.6 m/s2. what are the mass of (a) the planet and (b) the star?

The mass of the star of the distant solar system is 82 * 10²² kg and the mass of the planet of the distant solar system is 8.58 * 10²⁵ kg

The planet stays in its orbit and moves in a centripetal motion due to the gravitational force of attraction between the planet and the star.

Fc = m v² / r

Fg = G M m / r²

Fc = Fg

m v² / r = G M m / r²

v² = G M / r

M = r v² / G

g = Acceleration due to gravity

G = Gravitational constant

M = Mass of star

r = Distance between both bodies

G = 6.67 * 10⁻¹¹ N m² / kg²

r = 8.6 * 10¹¹ m

T = 402 days = 3.47 * 10⁷ s

v = 2 π r / T

v = 2 * 3.14 * 8.6 * 10¹¹ / 3.47 * 10⁷

v = 15.56 * 10⁴ m / s

Ms = 8.6 * 10¹¹ * 15.56 * 10⁴ / ( 6.67 * 10⁻¹¹ )

Ms = 20.1 * 10²⁶ kg

F = G M m / r²

F = m g

Equating,

m g = G M m / r²

Mp = g r² / G

Mp = 63.6 * ( 1.8 * 10⁷ / 2 )² / 6.67 * 10⁻¹¹

Mp = 8.58 * 10²⁵ kg

Which of the following are true? Select all that apply. The net electric field at any location inside a block of copper is zero
Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

1) The net electric field at any location inside a block of copper is zero if the copper block is in equilibrium.

2) In equilibrium, there is no net flow of mobile charged particles inside a conductor.

3) If the net electric field at a particular location inside a piece of metal is not zero, the metal is not in equilibrium.

Explanation:

1) and 3) A block of copper is a conductor. The charged particles on a conductor in equilibrium are at rest, so the intensity of the electric field at all interior points of the conductor is zero, otherwise, the charges would move resulting in an electric current.

2) The charged particles on a conductor in equilibrium are at rest.

A child with a weight of 430 N rides on a Ferris wheel, which has a radius of 17 m, and the linear velocity of the 3.5 m/s at an
Murrr4er [49]

At the lowest point on the Ferris wheel, there are two forces acting on the child: their weight of 430 N, and an upward centripetal/normal force with magnitude n; then the net force on the child is

∑ F = ma

n - 430 N = (430 N)/g • a

where m is the child's mass and a is their centripetal acceleration. The child has a linear speed of 3.5 m/s at any point along the path of the wheel whose radius is 17 m, so the centripetal acceleration is

a = (3.5 m/s)² / (17 m) ≈ 0.72 m/s²

and so

n = 430 N + (430 N)/g (0.72 m/s²) ≈ 460 N

Olegator [25]
Quite low

Gravitation force = \frac{6.67* 10^{-11}*0.145*6.8 }{ 0.5^{2} } = 26.3 * 10^{-11} = 2.63 *10^{-10} N
