Observers in a distant solar system are watching our Sun and using the radial velocity method to try to determine whether the Su

n has planets. Because of the gravitational pull of Jupiter, the observers see the Sun's spectrum slowly redshift and then blueshift by a tiny amount. How long must they observe to see a full cycle?

Answer: almost 12 years

Explanation:

Using the radial velocity method, planet hunters can track a sun's spectrum, to determine whether the sun has planets. The spectrum appears first slightly blue-shifted, and then slightly red-shifted. If the shifts are regular, repeating themselves at fixed intervals of days, months, or even years, it  is almost certainly caused by a body orbiting the sun, tugging it back and forth over the course of its orbit. Because of the gravitational pull of Jupiter (about 3,000 times the mass of Earth), In which its average distance from the sun is 480 millions miles and takes nearly 12 years to make one revolution.

the gravitational force between the sun and earth is larger than sun and the moon. what do you think the reason for this is?
Tems11 [23]

Answer: The greater an object's mass, the more gravitational force it exerts.

Explanation: So, to begin answering your question, Earth has a greater gravitational pull than the moon simply because the Earth is more massive. Sorry if I get this wrong. I am in 5th grade! ♥

Suppose you throw a baseball downward from a roof so that it initially has 120 J of gravitational potential energy, and 10 J of
Volgvan

Answer:

B.

It will be greater than 10 J.

Explanation:

The total mechanical energy of an object is the sum of its potential energy (PE) and its kinetic energy (KE):

E = PE + KE

According to the law of conservation of energy, when there are no frictional forces on an object, its mechanical energy is conserved.

The potential energy PE is the energy due to the position of the object: the highest the object above the ground, the highest its PE.

The kinetic energy KE is the energy due to the motion of the object: the highest its speed, the largest its KE.

Here at the beginning, when it is at the top of the roof, the baseball has:

PE = 120 J

KE = 10 J

So the total energy is

E = 120 + 10 = 130 J

As the ball falls down, its potential energy decreases, since its height decreases; as a result, since the total energy must remain constant, its kinetic energy increases (as its speed increases).

Therefore, when the ball reaches the ground, its kinetic energy must be greater than 10 J.

The chart below shows the average surface temperature or temperature range for each of the eight planets.
Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

A) Earth and the other inner planets have higher average surface temperatures than the outer planets.

Explanation:

the earth and the other inner planets have higher average surface temperatures than the outer planets.

The reason for this response is due to the distance between the sun and the respective planet, the source of energy generation is the sun and the only way in which the temperature increase of each planet is guaranteed is by radiation, the further away a planet is from its star, its temperature will decrease. Although it is also important to highlight the atmospheric composition of the planet if this planet in its stratosphere has high density clouds that do not allow the entry of solar radiation, the temperature of the planet's surface will not increase, independent of the distance from the sun, but these are more complex cases where specialists in that area enter to perform a study in detail.
