According to the law of universal gravitation, any two objects are attracted to each other. The strength of the gravitational fo

rce depends on the masses of the objects and their distance from each other. Many stars have planets around them. If there were no gravity attracting a planet to its star, the planet's motion would carry it away from the star. However, when this motion is balanced by the gravitational attraction to the star, the planet orbits the star. Two solar systems each have a planet the same distance from the star. The planets have the same mass, but Planet A orbits a more massive star than Planet B. Which of the following statements is true about the planets? A. Planet B is more attracted to its star than Planet A. B. Planet A has a longer year than Planet B. C. Planet A orbits its star faster than Planet B. D. Planet B will keep orbiting its star longer than Planet A.

Answer:

C. Planet A orbits its star faster than Planet B.

Explanation:

The force of gravitational attraction depends on the masses of the bodies involved. The greater the mass, the greater the force of attraction between them.

Based on this, we can say that the gravitational force between planet A and the star it orbits is stronger than planet B and its star. That's because the star of planet A has a greater mass than the star of planet B.

Since the gravitational force between planet A and its star is greater than the gravitational force between planet B and its star, we can say that planet A will orbit its star faster than planet B will orbit its star.

The answer is C. Because planet A experiences a stronger gravitational field, it will have a larger acceleration due to gravity, and therefor orbit faster than planet B

What information does the third quantum number of an electron give? A. The direction the electron in spinning B. The energy leve
Juli2301 [7.4K]

The information that the third quantum number of an electron gives is the direction the electron in spinning. That is option A.

<h3>What are quantum numbers?</h3>

Quantum number are those numbers that are used to specify the properties of the atomic orbitals and the electrons in those orbitals.

The types of quantum numbers include the following:

  • principal,

  • azimuthal,

  • magnetic, and spin.

The third quantum number is shows the direction of the electron while spinning through specifying its angular momentum.

15.0 g of cream at 10.0 ℃ are added to an insulated cup containing 150.0 g of coffee at 78.6 °C. Calculate the equilibrium tempe
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

The equilibrium temperature of the coffee is 72.4 °C

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of cream = 15.0 grams

Temperature of the cream = 10.0°C

Mass of the coffee = 150.0 grams

Temperature of the coffee = 78.6 °C

C = respective specific heat of the substances( same as water) = 4.184 J/g°C

Step 2: Calculate the equilibrium temperature

m(cream)*C*(T2-T1) = -m(coffee)*c*(T2-T1)

15.0 g* 4.184 J/g°C *(T2 - 10.0°C) = -150.0g *4.184 J/g°C*(T2-78.6°C)

62.76T2 - 627.6 = -627.6T2 + 49329.36

690.36T2 = 49956.96

T2 = 72.4 °C

The equilibrium temperature of the coffee is 72.4 °C
