Exoplanets (planets outside our solar system) are an active area of modern research. Suppose astronomers find such a planet that

has the same radius as Earth, but is about 10% less massive. Roughly, what acceleration due to gravity would you expect if you were standing on the surface of this new planet?

Answer:

8.829 m/s²

Explanation:

M = Mass of Earth

m = Mass of Exoplanet

g_e = Acceleration due to gravity on Earth = 9.81 m/s²

g = Acceleration due to gravity on Exoplanet

m=M-0.1M\\\Rightarrow m=0.9M

g_e=G\frac{M}{r^2}

g=G\frac{0.9M}{r^2}

Dividing the equations we get

\frac{g}{g_e}=\frac{G\frac{0.9M}{r^2}}{G\frac{M}{r^2}}\\\Rightarrow \frac{g}{g_e}=0.9\\\Rightarrow g=0.9g_e\\\Rightarrow g=0.9\times 9.81\\\Rightarrow g=8.829\ m/s^2

Acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the Exoplanet is 8.829 m/s²

The energy difference in these two conformations has been measured to be about 23 kj per mole. how much of this energy differenc
Phantasy [73]

Answer:

The answer is 7.8 kJ / mol.

Explanation:

Energy = (number of methyl group) (Gauche interactions)(3.8kJ/mol per interaction)

           = (2)(2)(3.8 kJ / mol)

            = 15.2 kJ / mol.

The energy  = (number of methyl group) - ( energy of gauche interactions)

                    = (23 kJ/mol) - 15.2 kJ/mol

                    = 7.8 kJ / mol.

Define refractive index.​
levacccp [35]
The refractive index of a material is a dimensionless number that describes how fast light travels through the material. It is defined as n={\frac {c}{v}}, where c is the speed of light in vacuum and v is the phase velocity of light in the medium.

the ratio of the velocity of light in a vacuum to its velocity in a specified medium.

) is it possible for one component of a vector to be zero, while the vector itself is not zero?
Natalka [10]
The least number of component of a vector quantity is two. These are the x-component and the y-component. 

The resultant vector, or vector as we refer to it in this item, can be calculated through the equation,
              RV = sqrt ((Vx)² + (Vy)²)

From the equation, it can be noted that if we let Vx equal to zero,
              RV = Vy

Similarly, if we let Vy be equal to zero then,
             RV = Vx

Thus, it is still possible for the vector to become nonzero even if one of its components is zero.
