combination or combinations of which method allow in principle measure the density of the extrasolar planet?

1 answer:

8 0

We can determine a planet's orbital period and separation from its star using any detection method. The transit method can yield sizes, whereas the astrometric and doppler approaches can provide minimum masses.

We can calculate average density by combining the transit and doppler approaches. Numerous physical properties, including the semi-major axis, stellar mass, star radius, planet radius, eccentricity, and inclination, are calculated from these observable data. The mass of the planet is also calculated using the star's combined radial velocity readings.

List briefly the planetary characteristics that, in theory, can be detected with the present detection techniques. We can determine a planet's orbital period and separation from its star using any detection method.

A 1 900-kg pile driver is used to drive a steel I-beam into the ground. The pile driver falls 4.00 m before coming into contact

Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

471392.4 N

Explanation:

From the question,

Just before contact with the beam,

mgh = Fd.................... Equation 1

Where m = mass of the beam, g = acceleration due to gravity, h = height. F = average Force on the beam, d = distance.

make f the subject of the equation

F = mgh/d................ Equation 2

Given: m = 1900 kg, h = 4 m, d = 15.8 = 0.158 m

Constant: g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute into equation 2

F = 1900(4)(9.8)/0.158

F = 471392.4 N

Three uniform spheres of radius 2R, R, and 3R are placed in a line, in the order given, so their centers are lined up and the sp

kolezko [41]

Answer:

x = 2.33 R from the center of mass of the smallest sphere.

Explanation:

Due to the symmetry of the spheres, the center of mass of any of them, is located just in the center of the sphere.

If we align the centers of the spheres with the x-axis, the center of mass of any of them will have only coordinates on the x-axis, so the center of mass of the system will have coordinates on the x-axis only also.

By definition, the x-coordinate of the center of mass of a set of discrete masses m₁, m₂, m₃, can be calculated as follows:

$Xcm = \frac{m1*x1+m2*x2+m3*x3}{m1+m2+3}$

In this case, we need to get the coordinates of the center of mass of each sphere:

If we place the spheres in such a way that the center of the first sphere has the x-coordinate equal to its radius (so it is just touching the origin), we will have:

x₁ = 2*R

For the second sphere, the center will be located at a distance equal to the diameter of the first sphere plus its own radius, as follows:

x₂ = 4*R + R = 5*R

Finally, for the third sphere, the center will be located at a distance equal to the diameter of the first sphere, plus the diameter of the second sphere, plus its own radius, as follows:

x₃ = 4*R + 2*R + 3*R = 9*R

We can calculate the mass of each sphere (assuming that all are from the same material, with a constant density), as the product of the density and the volume:

m = ρ*V

For a sphere, the volume can be calculated as follows:

$\frac{4}{3} *\pi *(r)^{3}$

So, we can calculate the masses of the spheres, as follows:

m₁ = ρ* $\frac{4}{3} *\pi *(2r)^{3}$

m₂ = ρ* $\frac{4}{3} *\pi *(r)^{3}$

m₃ = ρ* $\frac{4}{3} *\pi *(3r)^{3}$

The total mass can be calculated as follows:

M= ρ* $\frac{4}{3} *\pi$ * (8*r³ + r³ + 27*r³) =ρ* $\frac{4}{3} *\pi$ * 36*r³

Replacing by the values, and simplifying common terms, we can calculate the x-coordinate of the center of mass of the system as follows:

$Xcm = \frac{m1*x1+m2*x2+m3*x3}{m1+m2+3}$

$Xcm = \frac{(8*R^{3} *2*R)+(R^{3}*(5*R))+27*R^{3}*(9*R))}{36*R^{3} }=\frac{264*R^{4} x}{36*R^{3}} = 7.33 R$

As the x-coordinate of the center fof mass of the entire system is located at 7.33*R from the origin, and the center of mass of the smallest sphere is located at 5*R from the origin, the center of mass of the system is located at a distance d:

d = 7.33*R - 5*R = 2.33 R

What frequency (in Hz) is received by a person watching an oncoming ambulance moving at 116 km/h and emitting a steady 950 Hz so

Arte-miy333 [17]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the Doppler Effect, defined as the change in apparent frequency of a wave produced by the relative movement of the source with respect to its observer. Mathematically it can be written as

$f_{obs} = f(\frac{v_w}{v_w-v_s})$
