Two planets orbit a far away star as shown. Is it possible that both planets experience the same gravitation force from the star

?
A) No, it is not possible.
B) Yes, it is possible if the closer planet has less mass.
C) Yes, it is possible if the closer planet as a smaller radius.
D) Yes, it is possible if the closer planet orbits the star in a shorter time.

As we know that gravitational force on two planets will be given as

let

mass of star = M

mass of two planets are m1 and m2

their distance from star is r1 and r2

F = \frac{GMm_1}{r_1^2} = \frac{GMm_2}{r_2^2}

since the gravitational force of star is given on two planets to be same

so here we can say

\frac{m_1}{r_1^2} = \frac{m_2}{r_2^2}

now if the ratio of mass and distance is same then we can say that closer planet must have lesser mass to hold good for above equation

so correct answer will be

B) Yes, it is possible if the closer planet has less mass.

Boron coated with SiC (or Borsic) reinforced aluminum containing aligned 20 vol% fibers is an important high-temperature, lightw
Scilla [17]

Answer:

Option C is correct.

Modulus of elasticity of the composite perpendicular to the fibers = (12 × 10⁶) psi

Explanation:

For combination of materials, the properties (especially physical properties) of the resulting composite is a sum of the fractional contribution of each material thay makes up the composite.

In this composite,

The fibres = 20 vol%

Aluminium = 80 vol%

Modulus of elasticity of the composite

= [0.2 × E(fibres)] + [0.8 × E(Al)]

Modulus of elasticity of the fibers = E(fibres) = (55 × 10⁶) psi. =

Modulus of elasticity of aluminum = E(Al) = (10 × 10⁶) psi.

But modulus of elasticity of the composite perpendicular to the fibers is given in the expression.

[1 ÷ E(perpendicular)]

= [0.2 ÷ E(fibres)] + [0.8 ÷ E(Al)]

[1 ÷ E(perpendicular)]

= [0.2 ÷ (55 × 10⁶)] + [0.8 ÷ (10 × 10⁶)]

= (3.636 × 10⁻⁹) + (8.00 × 10⁻⁸)

= (8.3636 × 10⁻⁸)

E(perpendicular) = 1 ÷ (8.3636 × 10⁻⁸)

= 11,961,722.5 psi = (11.96 × 10⁶) psi

= (12 × 10⁶) psi

Hope this Helps!!!

A supersonic jet, with a mass of 21,000 kg, departs from its home airbase with a velocity of 400 m/s due east. What is the jet’s
disa [49]

Answer:

Momentum  P is 840000kgm/s or 8.4 × 10^6

Explanation:

Data :

        Mass = 21000 kg

        Velocity = 400 m/s

So momentum is given as

      P = mv

      P = 21000×400

    P = 8400000 kgm/s

       P = 8.4 × 10^6
