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 walk 5 km north and then 12 km east. Your resultant displacement is____.a. magnitude: 1.1km; direction: 53.1 degrees east
sweet [91]

Answer:

Resultant = 13km

Direction = 67.38° East of North

Explanation:

Given the following :

5km North ; 12km East

Resultant Displacement (r) :

r² = 5² + 12²

r² = 25 + 144

r² = 169

r = √169

r = 13

Direction:

Tangent = opposite / Adjacent

Tanθ = opposite / Adjacent

Opposite = 12 ; adjacent = 5

Tanθ = (12/5)

Tanθ = 2.4

θ = tan^-1(2.4)

θ = 67.38° east of north

A student reacted calcium with carbon to form a compound. The calcium atoms transferred electrons to the carbon atoms. The compo
frozen [14]

Answer:

Ionic.

Explanation:

To know the the correct answer to the question given above, let us define the terms covalent and ionic.

Covalent is the term used to characterise a compound which is formed by sharing of electrons between the atoms involved. Thus, the compound formed is called covalent compound.

Ionic is the term used to characterise a compound formed when there is a transfer of electron(s) from the metallic atom to the non-metallic atom. The compound formed is called ionic compound.

Considering the question given above, since the calcium atom transfer electron(s) to the carbon atom, it means the compound is an ionic compound.

FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

THE KINETIC ENERGY OF THE SMALLER CHILD IS LESS THAN THAT OF THE BIGGER CHILD

Explanation: Kinetic energy is the energy that is exerted on a body that is in motion, kinetic energy is affected by both the mass of the object and the velocity of the object.

Mathematically,Kinetic energy is represented as follows;

K.E=1/2MV^{2}

Where M represents the mass of the object in kilograms and V represents velocity of the moving object measured in meters per seconds.

The higher the weight of the object the higher the kinetic energy of the object which means the bigger child will have a higher kinetic energy than the smaller child.

What is true of an object pulled inward in an electric field?
slava [35]

Answer:

option b

Explanation:

There is an object pulled inward in an electric field.

We have to find out of the four options given which is true.

a) The object has a neutral charge is false since when electric field pulls the object inward, there is a charge inside.

b) The object has a charge opposite that of the field, this option is correct since there will be an equal and opposite charge created by the object

c) The object has a negative charge will be correct only if the original charge was positive hence wrong

d) The object has a charge the same as that of the field is incorrect since this would be opposite the charge

So only option b is right
