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

Light from a helium-neon laser (λ=633nm) passes through a circular aperture and is observed on a screen 4.0 m behind the apertur
devlian [24]

Answer:

d = 0.247 mm

Explanation:

given,

λ = 633 nm

distance from the hole to the screen = L = 4 m

width of the central maximum = 2.5 cm

                                             2 y = 0.025 m

                                               y = 0.0125 m

For circular aperture

  sin \theta = 1.22\dfrac{\lambda}{d}

using small angle approximation

  \theta = \dfrac{y}{D}

now,

   \dfrac{y}{D} = 1.22\dfrac{\lambda}{d}

   y = 1.22\dfrac{\lambda\ D}{d}

   d = 1.22\dfrac{\lambda\ D}{y}

   d = 1.22\dfrac{633\times 10^{-9}\times 4}{0.0125}

         d =0.247 x 10⁻³ m

         d = 0.247 mm

the diameter of the hole is equal to 0.247 mm

A car traveling at 23m/s starts to decelerate steadily. It comes to a complete stop in 7 seconds. What is the acceleration?
Lena [83]

The car has an initial velocity v_0 of 23 m/s and a final velocity v of 0 m/s. Recall that for constant acceleration,

v=v_0+at

The car stops in 7 s, so the acceleration is

0\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}=23\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}+a(7\,\mathrm s)

\implies a\approx-3.29\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s^2}

a) El Niño is defined as an abnormal weather pattern caused by the warming of the Pacific Ocean near the equator, off the coast of South America. The sun warms the water near the equator, which can make more clouds and, therefore, more rain. It has detrimental effects on biodiversity leading to its large-scale loss by
warmer sea temperatures leading to plankton and fish kills in coastal waters
lower sea levels leading to exposure of underwater coral reefs, causing their loss.
