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

PLS HELP ME!!! Explain frame of reference. How is it different when you are riding inside a car or standing by the highway?
RSB [31]

Answer:

So when you are riding in a car everything you see is from the cars frame. Where if you are standing by the highway it is from your point of view.

Explanation:

So lets say someone sees a apple core outside the bus it looks like the apple is traveling the opposite way of the bus but to the man standing by the highway would say it is stationary.

What would the speed of this wave be?
valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

c) 100,000 m/s

Explanation:

You need to take the same wave length from the top graph and bottom one, so let's take half a wave length then in the top one that is 0.005, but in the bottom one it's 2000/4 = 500 because they are smaller and there are 4 half waves before you get to 2000, whereas in the top one there is 1 half wave before you get to 0.005 on the graph.

Now use speed = distance / time

speed = 500 / 0.005 = 100 000 m/s

If there is an attractive force between all objects, why do we not feel ourselves gravitating toward massive buildings in our vi
mars1129 [50]
The mass of an object affects how powerful the attractive force is. To feel the pull / gravitation the mass of the object would have to be huge, bigger than that of massive buildings
