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.

8×107m and its rotation period to be 22.3 hours . You have previously determined that the planet orbits 2.2×1011m from its star with a period of 407 earth days. Once on the surface you find that the free-fall acceleration is 12.2m/s2.

Answer:

Mass of the planet = 1.48 × 10²⁵ Kg

Mass of the star = 5.09 × 10³⁰ kg

Explanation:

Given;

Diameter = 1.8 × 10⁷ m

Therefore,

Radius = \frac{\textup{Diameter}}{\textup{2}}  = \frac{\textup{1.8}\times10^7}{\textup{2}}

or

Radius of the planet = 0.9 × 10⁷ m

Rotation period = 22.3 hours

Radius of star = 2.2 × 10¹¹ m

Orbit period = 407 earth days = 407 × 24 × 60 × 60 seconds = 35164800 s

free-fall acceleration = 12.2 m/s²

Now,

we have the relation

g = \frac{\textup{GM}}{\textup{R}^2}

g is the free fall acceleration

G is the gravitational force constant

M is the mass of the planet

on substituting the respective values, we get

12.2 = \frac{6.67\times10^{-11}\times M}{(0.9\times10^7)^2}

or

M = 1.48 × 10²⁵ Kg

From the Kepler's law we have

T² = \frac{\textup{4}\pi^2}{\textup{G}M_{star}}(R_{star})^3

on substituting the respective values, we get

35164800² = \frac{\textup{4}\pi^2}{6.67\times10^{-11}\timesM_{star}}(2.2\times10^{11})^3

or

M_{star} = 5.09 × 10³⁰ kg

Answer:

20.45%

Explanation:

The probability that the student got a B is

\frac{total\#of\text{ students that got B}}{\text{total students }}\times100\%

Now, how many students are there in total?

The answer is

10+3+16+4+6+5=44\; \text{students}

How many students got a B?

The answer is

3+6=9\; \text{students}

therefore, the probability that the student has got a B is

\frac{9\text{ students }}{44\text{ students }}\times100\%=20.45\%

Hence, the probability that a student has got a B is 20.45%

timurjin [86]

Answer:

The nucleus has an overall positive charge as it contains the protons. Every atom has no overall charge (neutral). This is because they contain equal numbers of positive protons and negative electrons. These opposite charges cancel each other out making the atom neutral.
