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

An object accelerates from rest to 85m/s over a distance of 36m. What acceleration did it experience?
Marizza181 [45]
Suvat
we have s, u, v and we want a
the suvat equation with these values in is: v^2 = u^2 - 2as
so a = (-v^2 + u^2)/-2s 
plug numbers in
a = (-85^2 + 0^2)/-2*36 = 7225/72 = 100.3... ms^-2

If you cannot get a chair to move across the floor, it is because ___ friction opposes your push.
denis-greek [22]
If you cannot get a chair to move across the floor, it is because static friction opposes your push. When you say static or kinetic friction the two object that facing each other are opposing each other. That's why you're having a hard time pushing the chair.
