An astronaut orbits planet Y in her spaceship. To remain in orbit at 410km above the planet's center, she maintains a speed of 6

8 m/s. What is the mass of planet Y? Note: the constant of universal gravity (G) equals 6.674 × 10-11 N ⋅ m2/kg2.

Formula for orbital speed, v =  √(GM/R)

Where G is the universal gravitational constant, M = Central Mass,

R = Distance between centers of Mass.

Given.  v = 68 m/s, M = ? , R = 410 km = 410000 m., G = 6.674 * 10⁻¹¹ Nm²/kg²

68 = √(GM/R)

68 = √(6.674 * 10⁻¹¹ * M/410000)

68² =  (6.674 * 10⁻¹¹ * M)/410000

(68²  * 410000) / 6.674 * 10⁻¹¹    = M

2.84 × 10¹⁹    = M

Mass of Planet Y =  2.84 × 10¹⁹ kg

Why are eight electrons (four pairs) surrounding each non-hydrogen atom the optimal electronic arrangement for covalent molecule
rodikova [14]

Eight electrons surrounding each non-hydrogen atom is the optimal electronic arrangement for covalent molecules because it is needed to achieve an octet structure and is necessary to fill both the s and p subshells of electrons.

<h3>What is Covalent bonding?</h3>

This is the type of bonding which involves the sharing of electrons between atoms of an element.

This is done to achieve an octet configuration thereby making them stable and less reactive thereby making it the most appropriate choice.

professor190 [17]

Answer:

A. polymerization

Explanation:

Synthetic plastics are made by linking many simple carbon molecules together to form much larger molecules. This process is called polymerization.

Synthetic or artifical giant molecules consists of synthetic polymers such as plastics, elastomers etc. They are made up of simple monomers which links to form the complex and giant structure.

Monomers are the simplest unit of polymers. Polymers have very great sizes. The size mkaes their structure quite complex. This makes the molecules more disposed in a regular pattern with respect to one another.

The complexity of structure and the attendant effects accounts for the properties and uses that makes synthetic molecules very unique. For example, plastics can be extruded as sheets, pipes and or moulded into other objects.

A student tries to produce notes of higher frequency by blowing a trumpet harder. he will succeed?​
sdas [7]

Answer:

Please mark as Brainliest!!

Explanation:

He will not succeed as it blows the trumpet harder that only increase the amplitude of the sound wave that means the intensity of the sound will increase but the frequency remains the same.
