Answer:

Part a)

$M = 2.31 \times 10^{30} kg$

Part b)

$M = 1.15 M_s$

Explanation:

Part a)

As we know that the period of revolution of the planet is given by

$T = 2\pi\sqrt{\frac{r^3}{GM}}$

now we know that

$r = 10.5 \times 10^6 km = 1.05 \times 10^{10} m$

T = 6.3 days

$T = 5.44 \times 10^5 s$

now we have

$5.44 \times 10^5 = 2\pi\sqrt{\frac{(1.05\times 10^{10})^3}{(6.67 \times 10^{-11})M}}$

$M = 2.31 \times 10^{30} kg$

Part b)

As we know that mass of sun is given as

$M_s = 2.0 \times 10^{30} kg$

now we have

$\frac{M}{M_s} = \frac{2.31 \times 10^{30}}{2 \times 10^{30}}$

$M = 1.15 M_s$

Planets are not uniform inside. Normally, they are densest at the center and have decreasing density outward toward the surface.

elena-s [515]

Answer:

$g=13.42\frac{m}{s^2}$

Explanation:

1) Notation and info given

$\rho_{center}=13000 \frac{kg}{m^3}$ represent the density at the center of the planet

$\rho_{surface}=2100 \frac{kg}{m^3}$ represent the densisty at the surface of the planet

r represent the radius

$r_{earth}=6.371x10^{6}m$ represent the radius of the Earth

2) Solution to the problem

So we can use a model to describe the density as function of the radius

$r=0, \rho(0)=\rho_{center}=13000 \frac{kg}{m^3}$

$r=6.371x10^{6}m, \rho(6.371x10^{6}m)=\rho_{surface}=2100 \frac{kg}{m^3}$

So we can create a linear model in the for y=b+mx, where the intercept b= $\rho_{center}=13000 \frac{kg}{m^3}$ and the slope would be given by $m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\frac{\rho_{surface}-\rho_{center}}{r_{earth}-0}$

So then our linear model would be

$\rho (r)=\rho_{center}+\frac{\rho_{surface}-\rho_{center}}{r_{earth}}r$

Since the goal for the problem is find the gravitational acceleration we need to begin finding the total mass of the planet, and for this we can use a finite element and spherical coordinates. The volume for the differential element would be $dV=r^2 sin\theta d\phi d\theta dr$ .

And the total mass would be given by the following integral

$M=\int \rho (r) dV$

Replacing dV we have the following result:

$M=\int_{0}^{2\pi}d\phi \int_{0}^{\pi}sin\theta d\theta \int_{0}^{r_{earth}}(r^2 \rho_{center}+\frac{\rho_{surface}-\rho_{center}}{r_{earth}}r)$

We can solve the integrals one by one and the final result would be the following

$M=4\pi(\frac{r^3_{earth}\rho_{center}}{3}+\frac{r^4_{earth}}{4} \frac{\rho_{surface}-\rho_{center}}{r_{earth}})$

Simplyfind this last expression we have:

$M=\frac{4\pi\rho_{center}r^3_{earth}}{3}+\pi r^3_{earth}(\rho_{surface}-\rho_{center})$

$M=\pi r^3_{earth}(\frac{4}{3}\rho_{center}+\rho_{surface}-\rho_{center})$

$M=\pi r^3_{earth}[\rho_{surface}+\frac{1}{3}\rho_{center}]$

And replacing the values we got:

$M=\pi (6.371x10^{6}m)^2(\frac{1}{3}13000 \frac{kg}{m^3}+2100 \frac{kg}{m^3})=8.204x10^{24}kg$

And now that for any shape the gravitational acceleration is given by:

$g=\frac{MG}{r^2_{earth}}=\frac{(6.67408x10^{-11}\frac{m^3}{kgs^2})*8.204x10^{24}kg}{(6371000m)^2}=13.48\frac{m}{s^2}$

Why are the layers of the earth in the order that they are in?

REY [17]

Answer:

Each layer has its own properties, composition, and characteristics that affects many of the key processes of our planet. They are, in order from the exterior to the interior – the crust, the mantle, the outer core, and the inner core.

Calculate the acceleration of a car if it's velocity increases from 15 m/s to 75m/s in 5 seconds.

Andreas93 [3]

initial velocity=u=15m/s
Final velocity=v=75m/s
Time=t=5s

$\\ \sf\longmapsto Acceleration=\dfrac{v-u}{t}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto Acceleration=\dfrac{75-15}{5}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto Acceleration=\dfrac{60}{5}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto Acceleration=12m/s^2$

What is the velocity of the object?

dmitriy555 [2]

<h2>Hey There!</h2><h2>_____________________________________</h2><h2>Answer:</h2><h2 /><h2> $\huge\boxed{\text{V = 9.5 m/s}}$ </h2><h2>_____________________________________</h2>

<h2>DATA:</h2>

mass = m = 2kg

Distance = x = 6m

Force = 30N

TO FIND:

Work = W = ?

Velocity = V = ?

<h2>SOLUTION:</h2>

According to the object of mass 2 kg travels a distance when the force was exerted on it. The graph between the Force and position was plotted which shows that 30 N of force was used to push the object till the distance of 6.0m.

To find the work, I will use the method of determining the area of the plotted graph. As the graph is plotted in the straight line between the Force and work, THE PICTURE ATTCHED SHOWS THE AREA COVERED IN BLUE AS WORK DONE AND HEIGHT AS 30m AND DISTANCE COVERED AS 6m To solve for the area(work) of triangle is given as,

${\Longrightarrow}\qquad \qquad \qquad W\ =\ \frac{1}{2}\;(Base)\:(Height)$

Base is the x-axis of the graph which is Position i.e. 6m

Height is the y-axis of the graph which is Force i.e. 30N

So,

$W\ =\ \frac{1}{2}\:6\:x\:30$

W = 90 J

The work done is 90 J.

According to the principle of work and kinetic energy (also known as the work-energy theorem) states that the work done by the sum of all forces acting on a particle equals the change in the kinetic energy of the particle.

${\Longrightarrow}\qquad \qquad \qquad W\quad =\quad K.E\\\\{\Longrightarrow}\qquad \qquad \qquad W\quad =\quad \frac{1}{2}\ m\ V^2 \\\\{\Longrightarrow}\qquad \qquad \qquad W\quad =\quad \frac{1}{2}\ 2\ (V_f-V_i)^2\\\\{V_i\ is\ 0\ because\ the\ object\ was\ initially\ at\ rest}\\\\ {\Longrightarrow}\qquad \qquad \qquad W\quad\ =\ \frac{1}{2}\ x\ 2\ (V_f-0)^2 \\\\{\Longrightarrow}\qquad \qquad \qquad 90\quad = \frac{1}{2}\ x\ 2\ (V_f)^2$

$\\\\{\Longrightarrow}\qquad \qquad \qquad V_f\quad =\ \sqrt{\frac{2\ (90)\ }{2}}\\\\{\Longrightarrow}\qquad \qquad \qquad \boxed {V_f\quad =\ 9.48\ m/s}$

$\boxed{The\ Velocity\ of\ the\ Object\ of\ mass\ 2kg\ at\ 6\ meters\ of\ distance\ was\ 9.48\ m/s}$
