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

An airplane flies 120 km at a constant altitude in a direction 30.0° north of east. a wind is blowing that results in a net hori
astraxan [27]
 Best Answer:<span>  </span><span>The net angle between the direction of flight of the aircraft and the wind in the opposing direction is 20. THe component opposing the aircraft is 2.4*cos 20 KN 
= 2400 * 0.9397 = 2255.2622 N. The distance covered is 120 Km 
The work done by the aircraft overcoming the wind is 
= 2255.2622 * 120000 = 270631464 = 2.71 x 10^8 N 
As the question is trickily worded as : the work done on the plane by the air (wind) the answer is -2.71 x 10^8 J . (fourth option)</span>

Which of Newton's Three Laws Applies? Law 1, 2, or 3?
frozen [14]

Answer:

1. Newton's first law

2.Newton's second law

3.Newton's third law

Explanation:

1. Newton's first law stated, In an inertial frame of reference, an object either remains at rest or continues to move at a constant velocity, unless acted upon by a force... this is base of the concept of inertia.

2. Newton's second law stated, In an inertial frame of reference, the vector sum of the forces F on an object is equal to the mass m of that object multiplied by the acceleration a of the object: F = ma, or in easier words, F is directly proportional to a.

3. Newton's third law stated, When one body exerts a force on a second body, the second body simultaneously exerts a force equal in magnitude and opposite in direction on the first body., In this case, the Normal Are opposite with gravititional force.
