As planets with a wide variety of properties are being discovered outside our solar system, astrobiologists are considering whet

her and how life could evolve on planets that might be very different from earth.One recently discovered extrasolar planet, or exoplanet, orbits a star whose mass is 0.70 times the mass of our sun.This planet has been found to have 2.3 times the earth's diameter and 7.9 times the earth's mass.For planets in this size range, computer models indicate a relationship between the planet's density and composition. Observations of this planet over time show that it is in a nearly circular orbit around its star and completes one orbit in only 9.5 days. How many times the orbital radius r of the earth around our sun is this exoplanet's orbital radius around its sun? Assume that the earth is also in a nearly circular orbit

Answer:

R₁  = 14.44 R₂

Explanation:

For sun-earth system

GMm/R² = mω²R

GM =ω²R³

GM₁ =ω₁²R₁³

For star - planet system

GM₂ =ω₂²R₂³

Dividing

M₁ / M₂ = ω₁²R₁³ / ω₂²R₂³

R₁³ /R₂³ = M₁ω₂² / ω₁²M₂

= M₁T₁²/T₂²M₂

Given

M₁ / M₂ = 1 / 0.7

T₁ = 365 days

T₂ = 9.5 days

R₁³ /R₂³ = M₁²365² /9.5² (.7M₁ )²

(R₁ /R₂)³ =365² / 9.5² X .7²

= 3012

R₁ /R₂

= 14.44

R₁  = 14.44  R₂

The charge on the sphere is monitored as a beam of monochromatic light shines on the sphere. Initially nothing happens. The wave
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

explanation of this effect  is  the photoelectric effect

Explanation:

Let's describe the process, when light of large wavelength falls, this implies a small energy, according to Planck's equation

           E = h f = \frac{h \ c}{ \lambda}

the energy of the photons is not enough to carry out an electronic transition between two states of the material, when we decrease the wavelength (the energy of the photons increases), the point is reached where the energy of the beam is equal to some energy of a transition, by which the electrons are promoted and since we can see a certain charge, as the atoms are neutral, some electrons must be removed from the material, this is represented in the macroscopic case as the work function of the material, consequently a unbalanced load that is what we can measure.

When we increase the lightning intensity, what we do is that we increase the number of photons and if each photon can remove an electron, by removing the electrons the difference between it and the positive charge (fixed in the nuclei) increases.

We can analyze the interaction of the photon and the electron as a particular collision.

The explanation of this effect was made by Einstein in his explained of the photoelectric effect

If you dribble a basketball with a frequency of 1.77 Hz, how long does it take for you to complete 12 dribbles?
Licemer1 [7]
<h2>It takes 6.78 seconds to complete 12 dribbles.</h2>

Explanation:

Frequency of dribble = 1.77 Hz

That is

         Number of dribbles in 1 second = 1.77

         \texttt{Time taken for 1 dribble = }\frac{1}{1.77}=0.565s

Now we need to find how long does it take for you to complete 12 dribbles.

         Time taken for 12 dribbles = 12 x Time taken for 1 dribble

         Time taken for 12 dribbles = 12 x 0.565

         Time taken for 12 dribbles = 6.78 seconds      

It takes 6.78 seconds to complete 12 dribbles.
