The star Rho1 Cancri is 57 light-years from the earth and has a mass 0.85 times that of our sun. A planet has been detected in a

circular orbit around Rho1 Cancri with an orbital radius equal to 0.11 times the radius of the earth's orbit around the sun. What are (a)the orbital speed and (b)the orbital period of the planet of Rho1 Cancri

Answer:

82780.42123 m/s

14.45 days

Explanation:

m = Mass of the planet

M = Mass of the star = 0.85\times 1.989\times 10^{30}\ kg

r = Radius of orbit of planet = 0.11\times 149.6\times 10^{9}\ m

v = Orbital speed

The kinetic and potential energy balance is given by

\frac{GMm}{r^2}=\frac{mv^2}{r}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{\frac{Gm}{r}}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{\frac{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 0.85\times 1.989\times 10^{30}}{0.11\times 149.6\times 10^{9}}}\\\Rightarrow v=82780.42123\ m/s

The orbital speed of the star is 82780.42123 m/s

The orbital period is given by

t=\frac{2\pi r}{v}\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{2\pi \times 0.11\times 149.6\times 10^{9}}{82780.42123}\\\Rightarrow t=1249040.48419\ seconds=\frac{1249040.48419}{24\times 60\times 60}=14.45\ days

The orbital period is 14.45 days

Determine the acceleration that result when a 12-N net force is applied to a 3-kg object and then to a 6-kg object
user100 [1]

For 3 kg mass: <em>F = \lpha ma,a = \frac{F}{m} = \frac{12N}{3kg} = 4\lpha m / s^{2}</em>

For 6 kg mass: <em>F = \lpha ma,a = \frac{F}{m} = \frac{12N}{6kg} = 2\lpha m / s^{2}</em>


Hope this helped, have a great day!~

Use this excerpt from the text to answer the question. "Some people insist the United States is more properly called a republic
Bond [772]
Political power is utilized in a roundabout way by chose authorities, not straightforwardly by the natives themselves. Oftentimes, legislators and numerous standard Americans allude to the United States as a majority rules system. Others locate this disturbing in light of the fact that, not at all like in a vote based system where nationals vote specifically on laws, in the United States, chose agents do – and, thusly, the U.S. is a republic.

What occurs when a swimmer pushes through water to swim
Triss [41]
When we swim we apply force and push the water backward with the help of our hands. In response, The water pushes us forward with an equal force. Thus, in order to move forward and swim, the swimmer lushes the water backward. Newton's 3rd law of motion
