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

Liula [17]

Answer:

1.5 m

Explanation:

H = actual height of the superhero = ?

H₀ = height of the superhero as observed = 1.73 m

v = speed of the superhero = 0.50 c

Using the equation

H = H_{o} \sqrt{1 - \left ( \frac{v}{c} \right )^{2}}

Inserting the values

H = 1.73 \sqrt{1 - \left ( \frac{0.50 c}{c} \right )^{2}}

H = 1.5 m

Which of these atoms is the most electronegative? select one: a. si b. cl c. p d. f e. c
katrin [286]

The atom that is the most electronegative is fluorine (F).

<h3>What is electronegative?</h3>

Electronegativity, is the tendency for an atom of a given chemical element to attract shared electrons when forming a chemical bond.

Electronegativity increases across the groups from left to right of the periodic table and decreases down the group.

Examples of electronegative elements arranged in decreasing order;

  • fluorine,
  • oxygen,
  • nitrogen,
  • chlorine,
  • bromine,
  • iodine,
  • sulfur,
  • carbon, and
  • hydrogen.

Thus,  the atom that is the most electronegative is fluorine (F).
