A planet exerts a gravitational force of magnitude 9e22 N on a star. If the planet were 2 times closer to the star (that is, if

the distance between the star and the planet were 1/2 what is is now), what would be the magnitude of the force on the star due to the planet?

To solve this problem we will use the related concepts in Newtonian laws that describe the force of gravitational attraction. We will use the given value and then we will obtain the proportion of the new force depending on the Radius. From there we will observe how much the force of attraction increases in the new distance.

Planet gravitational force

F_p = 6*10^{22}N

F_p = \frac{GMm}{R^2}

F_p = 9*10^{22}N

Distance between planet and star

r = \frac{R}{2}

Gravitational force is

F = \frac{GMm}{r^2}

Applying the new distance,

F = \frac{GMm}{(\frac{R}{2})^2}

F =  4\frac{GMm}{R^2}

Replacing with the previous force,

F = 4F_p

Replacing our values

F= 4(9*10^{22}N)

F = 36*10^{22}N

Therefore the magnitude of the force on the star due to the planet is  36*10^{22}N

The Young’s modulus of nickel is Y = 2 × 1011 N/m2 . Its molar mass is Mmolar = 0.059 kg and its density is rho = 8900 kg/m3 . G
Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

Atomic Size and Mass:

convert given density to kg/m^3 = 8900kg/m^3 2) convert to moles/m^3 (kg/m^3 * mol/kg) = 150847 mol/m^3 (not rounding in my actual calculations) 3) convert to atoms/m^3 (6.022^23 atoms/mol) = 9.084e28 atoms/m^3 4) take the cube root to get the number of atoms per meter, = 4495309334 atoms/m 5) take the reciprocal to get the diameter of an atom, = 2.2245e-10 m/atom 6) find the mass of one atom (kg/mol * mol/atoms) = 9.7974e-26 kg/atom Young's Modulus: Y=(F/A)/(dL/L) 1) F=mg = (45kg)(9.8N/kg) = 441 N 2) A = (0.0018m)^2 = 3.5344e-6 m^2 3) dL = 0.0016m 4) L = 2.44m 5) Y = 1.834e11 N/m^2 Interatomic Spring Stiffness: Ks,i = dY 1) From above, diameter of one atom = 2.2245e-10 m 2) From above, Y = 1.834e11 N/m^2 3) Ks,i = 40.799 N/m (not rounding in my actual calculations) Speed of Sound: v = ωd 1) ω = √(Ks,i / m,a) 2) From above, Ks,i = 40.799 N/m 3) From above, m,a = 9.7974e-26 kg 4) ω=2.0406e13 N/m*kg 5) From above, d=2.2245e-10 m 6) v=ωd = 4539 m/s (not rounding in actual calculations) Time Elapsed: 1) length sound traveled = L+dL = 2.44166 m 2) From above, speed of sound = 4539 m/s 3) T = (L+dL)/v = 0.000537505 s

Why is thermal energy from the Sun transferred to Earth through electromagnetic waves instead of any other type of thermal energ
liq [111]

Answer:

Because electromagnetic waves can travel through empty space

Explanation:

The energy that is emitted from the sun is transferred to the earth in the form of radioactive waves. These waves are originated due to the vibration between the electric and magnetic fields. As this energy reaches the earth, it warms the earth's atmosphere, resulting in the transfer of heat energy in three possible ways namely the conduction, convection, and radiation.

This electromagnetic waves do not require any matter for the transmission of energy, and can easily travel in empty space from the core of the sun to the earth and other nearby planets. Whereas other types of waves cannot travel in space, so it is transferred in the form of electromagnetic waves only.
