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

s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

82780.42123 m/s

14.45 days

Explanation:

m = Mass of the planet

M = Mass of the star = $0.85\times 1.989\times 10^{30}\ kg=1.69065\times 10^{30}\ kg$

r = Radius of orbit of planet = $0.11\times 149.6\times 10^{9}\ m=16.456\times 10^{9}\ m$

v = Orbital speed

The kinetic and potential energy balance is given by

$\frac{GMm}{r^2}=\frac{mv^2}{r}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{\dfrac{Gm}{r}}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{\dfrac{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 1.69065\times 10^{30}}{16.456\times 10^{9}}}\\\Rightarrow v=82780.42123\ m/s$

The orbital speed of the star is 82780.42123 m/s

The orbital period is given by

$t=\frac{2\pi r}{v}\\\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{2\pi \times 16.456\times 10^{9}}{82780.42123}\\\Rightarrow t=1249040.48419\ seconds=\dfrac{1249040.48419}{24\times 60\times 60}=14.45\ days$

The orbital period is 14.45 days

Why copper is classified as a metal.

AveGali [126]

Answer:

It is classified as a metal because of its high ductility, malleability, thermal and electrical conductivity and resistance to corrosion. Copper is a mineral used for our everyday use. It is limited and we have to use it wisely because it is not evenly distributed everywhere and also everyone needs it. Copper is element number 29 on the Periodic Table of Elements. It is also used it electronics and wiring.
