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

olasank [31]

Answer:

Time taken by A and B is 1.2 hr.

Explanation:

Given that

Time taken by tank when all(A+B+C) are open = 1 hr

Time taken by tank when A+C are open = 1.5 hr

Time taken by tank when B+C are open = 2 hr

If we treat as filling of tank is a work then

Work = time x rate

Lets take work is 1 unit

1 = 1(1/a+1/b+1/c)          ---------1

1 = 1.5(1/a+1/c)           ----------2

1 = 2(1/b+1/c)             --------3

From equation 1 and 3

1=1(1/a+1/2)

a=2

Form equation 2

1 = 1.5(1/2+1/c)

c=6

From equation 3

 1 = 2(1/b+1/6)  

b=3

So time taken by

A is alone to fill tank is 2 hr

B is alone to fill tank is 3 hr

C is alone to fill tank is 6 hr

So time\ taken\ by\ A\ and\ B =\dfrac{2\times 3}{2+3} hr

Time taken by A and B is 1.2 hr.
