How do astronomers explain the orbit of hot jupiters

1 answer:

3 0

Giant alien planets known as "hot Jupiters" can induce wobbles in their parent stars that may lead to the wild, close orbits seen by astronomers. ... Giant alien planets known as "hot Jupiters" orbit their stars much closer than Mercury does the sun

Aisha is sitting on frictionless ice and holding two heavy ski boots. Aisha weighs 637 N, and each boot has a mass of 4.50 kg. A

Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

-0.73 m/s

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by using the law of conservation of momentum.

In fact, in absence of external forces (the ice is frictionless, so no friction), the total momentum of Aisha + two boots is conserved.

At the beginning, their total momentum is zero, since they are at rest:

$p_i = 0$ (1)

After, their total momentum is:

$p_f = Mv + 2mv'$ (2)

where:

M is Aisha's mass

v is Aisha's velocity relative to the ground

m = 4.50 kg is the mass of each boot

v' is the boot's velocity relative to the ground

We can find:

$M=\frac{W}{g}=\frac{637 N}{9.8 N/kg}=65 kg$ is Aisha's mass (where W = 637 N was her weight)

v' can be rewritten as:

$v'=v+6$

because 6 m/s is the velocity of the boots relative to her, while v' is their velocity relative to the ground.

Substituting and combining (1) and (2) we find:

$0=Mv+2m(v+6)\\0=Mv+2mv+12m\\v=\frac{-12m}{M+2m}=\frac{-12(4.50)}{65+2(4.50)}=-0.73 m/s$

and the negative sign indicates that the direction is opposite to that of the boots.

A laser pulse takes 2.56 seconds to travel from Earth to the Moon and return. Use this to calculate how far away the Moon is. Ho

Deffense [45]

Answer:

$x = 3.84\times 10^{5}\,km$

This delay affect conversations in the sense that recipient will be receive the message just 2.56 seconds after the message was sent.

Explanation:

The laser pulse has an ondulatory nature as electromagnetic wave, which can travel in the void. Speed of light is constant and distance between Earth and the Moon is:

$x = 0.5\cdot c\cdot \Delta t$

$x = 0.5\cdot (3\times 10^{5}\,\frac{km}{s})\cdot (2.56\,s)$

$x = 3.84\times 10^{5}\,km$

This delay affect conversations in the sense that recipient will be receive the message just 2.56 seconds after the message was sent.

The impulse given to a ball with mass of 4 kg is 28 N s. If the ball were already moving at 3 m/s what would the final velocity

mart [117]

vf = 10 m/s. A ball with mass of 4kg and a impulse given of 28N.s with a intial velocity of 3m/s would have a final velocity of 10 m/s.

The key to solve this problem is using the equation I = F.Δt = m.Δv, Δv = vf - vi.

The impulse given to the ball with mass 4Kg is 28 N.s. If the ball were already moving at 3 m/s, to calculate its final velocity:

I = m(vf - vi) -------> I = m.vf - m.vi ------> vf = (I + m.vi)/m ------> vf = I/m + vi

Where I 28 N.s, m = 4 Kg, and vi = 3 m/s

vf = (28N.s/4kg) + 3m/s = 7m/s + 3m/s

vf = 10 m/s.

State Archimedes' principle

OlgaM077 [116]

Explanation:

Archimedes' principle states that the upward buoyant force which is exerted on body when immersed whether fully submerged or partially in the fluid is equal to weight of fluid which body displaces and this force acts in upward direction at center of mass of displaced fluid.

Thus,

Weight of the displaced fluid = Weight of the object - Weight of object in fluid.
