One recently discovered extrasolar planet, or exoplanet, orbits a star whose mass is 0.70 times the mass of our sun. This planet

has been found to have 2.3 times the earth's diameter and 7.9 times the earth's mass. Observations of this planet over time show that it is in a nearly circular orbit around its star and completes one orbit in only 9.5 days. How many times the orbital radius r of the earth around our sun is the exoplanet's orbital radius around its sun. Assume that the earth is also in a nearly circular orbit.
a.) 0.026r
b.) 0.078r
c.) 0.70r
d,) 2.3r

0.078 times the orbital radius r of the earth around our sun is the exoplanet's orbital radius around its sun.

Answer: Option B

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given that planet is revolving around the earth so from the statement of centrifugal force, we know that any

               \frac{G M m}{r^{2}}=m \omega^{2} r

The orbit’s period is given by,

               T=\sqrt{\frac{2 \pi}{\omega r^{2}}}=\sqrt{\frac{r^{3}}{G M}}

Where,

T_{e} = Earth’s period

T_{p} = planet’s period

M_{s} = sun’s mass

r_{e} = earth’s radius

Now,

             T_{e}=\sqrt{\frac{r_{e}^{3}}{G M_{s}}}

As, planet mass is equal to 0.7 times the sun mass, so

            T_{p}=\sqrt{\frac{r_{p}^{3}}{0.7 G M_{s}}}

Taking the ratios of both equation, we get,

             \frac{T_{e}}{T_{p}}=\frac{\sqrt{\frac{r_{e}^{3}}{G M_{s}}}}{\sqrt{\frac{r_{p}^{3}}{0.7 G M_{s}}}}

            \frac{T_{e}}{T_{p}}=\sqrt{\frac{0.7 \times r_{e}^{3}}{r_{p}^{3}}}

            \left(\frac{T_{e}}{T_{p}}\right)^{2}=\frac{0.7 \times r_{e}^{3}}{r_{p}^{3}}

            \left(\frac{T_{e}}{T_{p}}\right)^{2} \times \frac{1}{0.7}=\frac{r_{e}^{3}}{r_{p}^{3}}

           \frac{r_{e}}{r_{p}}=\left(\left(\frac{T_{e}}{T_{p}}\right)^{2} \times \frac{1}{0.7}\right)^{\frac{1}{3}}

Given T_{p}=9.5 \text { days } and T_{e}=365 \text { days }

          \frac{r_{e}}{r_{p}}=\left(\left(\frac{365}{9.5}\right)^{2} \times \frac{1}{0.7}\right)^{\frac{1}{3}}=\left(\frac{133225}{90.25} \times \frac{1}{0.7}\right)^{\frac{1}{3}}=(2108.82)^{\frac{1}{3}}

         r_{p}=\left(\frac{1}{(2108.82)^{\frac{1}{3}}}\right) r_{e}=\left(\frac{1}{12.82}\right) r_{e}=0.078 r_{e}

ycow [4]

Answer:

\mu=0.185

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Mass m=17kg

Force F=33N

Velocity v=1.6m/s

Distance d= 9.8m

Generally the equation for Work done is mathematically given by

 W=\triangle K.E+\triangle P.E

Where

 \triangle K.E=(F-F_f)*2

 F_f=F+\frac{\triangle K.E}{d}

 F_f=33+\frac{0.5*17*1.6^2}{9.8}

 F_f=30.8N

Since

 f = \mu*m*g

 \mu= 30.8/(m*g)

 \mu= 30.8/(17*9.81)

 \mu=0.185

A constant voltage of 12.00 V has been observed over a certain time interval across a 1.20 H inductor. The current through the i
kiruha [24]

Answer:

The time is 0.5 sec.

Explanation:

Given that,

Voltage V= 12.00 V

Inductance L= 1.20 H

Current = 3.00 A

Increases rate = 8.00 A

We need to calculate change in current

\Delta A = 8.00-3.00= 5.00\ A

We need to calculate the time interval

Using formula of inductor

V=L\dfrac{\Delta A}{\Delta t}

\Delta t =\dfrac{L\Delta A}{V}

Where, \Delta A = change in current

V = voltage

L = inductance

Put the value into the formula

\Delta t=\dfrac{1.20\times5.00}{12.00}

\Delta t=0.5\ sec

Hence, The time is 0.5 sec.

What happens when exhale
polet [3.4K]
When you breathe in, or inhale, your diaphragm contracts (tightens) and moves downward. This increases the space in your chest cavity, into which your lungs expand. The intercostal muscles between your ribs also help enlarge the chest cavity. They contract to pull your rib cage both upward and outward when you inhale.

If you ride your bicycle down a straight road for 500m then turn around and ride back, your distance is____ your displacement.
Helen [10]

Answer:

C-less than

Explanation:

Distance is total distance traveled (1000m here if you stop where you started).

Displacement is your final distance from where you started (0m if you stop where you started).

0m<1000m
