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

If you see a sedimentary rock outcrop and red layers of sand are on top of pale yellow layers of sand, what do you know for sure
neonofarm [45]

Answer: The yellow layer is definitely older than the red layer

Explanation: According to Nicolaus Steno's law of superposition and original horizontality. Older rocks underlie younger rocks.

Sedimentary rocks are usually deposited in horizontal layers in which each stratigraphic layer is laid down before another can be deposited upon it.

The red layer, in addition to being older, is also likely to have undergone intense oxidation due to earlier exposure.

assume the suns total energy output is 4.0 * 10^26 watts, and 1 watt is 1 joule/second. assume 4.3 * 10^-12 J is released from e
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

9.3\cdot 10^{37}

Explanation:

Power is defined as the energy produced (E) per unit of time (t):

P= \frac{E}{t}

This means that the energy produced in the Sun each second (1 s), given the power P=4.0\cdot 10^{26}W, is

E=Pt=(4.0\cdot 10^{26}W)(1s )=4.0\cdot 10^{26} J

Each p-p chain reaction produces an amount of energy of

E_1 = 4.3\cdot 10^{-12} J

in order to get the total number of p-p chain reactions per second, we need to divide the total energy produced per second by the energy produced by each reaction:

n=\frac{E}{E_1}=\frac{4.0\cdot 10^{26} J}{4.3\cdot 10^{-12} J}=9.3\cdot 10^{37}

What is the mass of an object that has an acceleration of 2.63m/s2 when a unbalanced force of 112N is applied to it?
exis [7]

Answer:

42.58kg

Explanation:

By Newton's second law, F = ma.

F is the force being applied, in this case 112N. a is the acceleration, in this case 2.63 m/s^2.

Thus, with some simple algebraic manipulation, we get the mass to equal:

m = F/a = 112N / 2.63 m/s^2 = 42.58kg

The law of ellipse simple explanation
nirvana33 [79]

Kepler's first law - sometimes referred to as the law of ellipses - explains that planets are orbiting the sun in a path described as an ellipse. ... The resulting shape will be an ellipse. An ellipse is a special curve in which the sum of the distances from every point on the curve to two other points is a constan
