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

Calcular la rapidez promedio
Vlada [557]

Answer:

  v_average = 15 m / s

Explanation:

The average speed can be found in two ways,

* taking the distance traveled and divide it by the time spent

* taking the velocities in each time interval and then finding the weighted average by the time fraction

              v_average = 1 / t_total ∑  v_{i}  t_{i}vi ti

Let's apply this last equation

               

Total time is

               t = t₁ + t₂

               t = 10 + 10 = 20   min

              v_average = 10/20 10 + 10/20 20

              v_average = 10/2 + 20/2

              v_average = 15 m / s

At a speed of 60 mph, how far does your car travel in 3 seconds
Viefleur [7K]

One of the many random useless factoids that I carry around
in my head is the factoid that 60 miles per hour is equivalent
to exactly 88 feet per second.

So in three seconds at that speed, you would cover exactly

                       (3 x 88) = 264 feet.

a student throws three pencils into the trash can, only one lands in the can and the other hits the window each time? precise or
MAXImum [283]
I’d say precise because the student was aiming for the can and didn’t get it but they got the window each time

Please help on this one?
valina [46]

I believe that it is d correct me if wrong because the higher the temperature the more active the molecules are gonna be, but the graph does not explicitly state that, so you can say the answer is d (if not the answer is c) (sorry if wrong)

Fe has the electron configuration [Ar]3d64s2. What is the magnitude of the orbital angular momentum for its most energetic elect
salantis [7]

Answer : The magnitude of the orbital angular momentum for its most energetic electron is, \sqrt{6}\hbar

Explanation :

The formula used for orbital angular momentum is:

L=\sqrt{l(l+1)}\hbar

where,

L = orbital angular momentum

l = Azimuthal quantum number

As we are given the electronic configuration of Fe is, [Ar]3d^64s^2

Its most energetic electron will be for 3d electrons.

The value of azimuthal quantum number(l) of d orbital is, 2

That means, l = 2

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

L=\sqrt{2(2+1)}\hbar

L=\sqrt{6}\hbar

Therefore, the magnitude of the orbital angular momentum for its most energetic electron is, \sqrt{6}\hbar
