What is the similarities between rigel star and sirius star? explain the similarities..

1 answer:

6 0

The Hertzsprung-Russel diagram is a chart of the relationship between absolute magnitude and the surface temperature of stars. Rigel is a super giant star that shines blue or blue white with an average surface temperature nearing 20000 degrees Celsius. Sirius is a main sequence star with an average surface temp of over 10000 degrees Celsius. Sirius is similar in appearance to Rigel but is brighter in the night sky from earth.

Use the law of universal gravitation to describe the relationship between you and your desk

tangare [24]

The law of gravitation states that things closer to the core of gravitation, have a larger force pulling down on them. In relation of you to your desk, you and the desk are both drawn downwards towards the center of gravity.

Suppose that a planet were discovered between the sun and Mercury, with a circular orbit of radius equal to 2/3 of the average o

Musya8 [376]

Explanation:

It is given that,

A planet were discovered between the sun and Mercury, with a circular orbit of radius equal to 2/3 of the average orbit radius of Mercury.

Mass of the Sun, $M=1.99\times 10^{30}\ kg$

Radius of Mercury's orbit, $r=5.79\times 10^{10}\ m$

Radius of discovered planet, $R=\dfrac{2}{3}r$

$R=\dfrac{2}{3}\times 5.79\times 10^{10}\ m=3.86\times 10^{10}\ m$

Let T is the orbital period of such a planet. Using Kepler's third law of planetary motion as :

$T^2\propto R^3$

$T^2=\dfrac{4\pi^2R^3}{GM}$

$T^2=\dfrac{4\pi^2\times (3.86\times 10^{10})^3}{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 1.99\times 10^{30}}$

$T=\sqrt{1.71\times 10^{13}}$

T = 4135214.625 s

T = 47.86 days

So, the orbital period of such a planet is 47.86 days. Hence, this is the required solution.
