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.

A 90 kg person stands at the edge of a stationary children's merry-go-round at a distance of 5.0 m from its center. The person s
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

\omega = 0.016\,\frac{rad}{s}

Explanation:

The rotation rate of the man is:

\omega = \frac{v}{R}

\omega = \frac{0.80\,\frac{m}{s} }{5\,m}

\omega = 0.16\,\frac{rad}{s}

The resultant rotation rate of the system is computed from the Principle of Angular Momentum Conservation:

(90\,kg)\cdot (5\,m)^{2}\cdot (0.16\,\frac{rad}{s} ) = [(90\,kg)\cdot (5\,m)^{2}+20000\,kg\cdot m^{2}]\cdot \omega

The final angular speed is:

\omega = 0.016\,\frac{rad}{s}

The​ time, t, required to drive a fixed distance varies inversely as the​ speed, r. It takes 3 hr at a speed of 14 ​km/h to driv
kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

time taken with speed 23 km/h will be 1.8 hours or 1 hour 48 minutes

Explanation:

Given:

Time is inversely proportional to the speed

mathematically,

t ∝ (1/r)

let the proportionality constant be 'k'

thus,

t = k/r

therefore, for case 1

time = 3 hr

speed = 14 km/hr

3 = k/14

also,

for case 2

let the time be = t

r = 23 km/h

thus,

we have

t = k/23

on dividing equation 2 by 1

we get

\frac{t}{3}=\frac{k/23}{k/14}

or

t=\frac{14\times3}{23}

or

t = 1.8 hr = or 1 hour 48 minutes ( 0.8 hours × 60 minutes/hour = 48 minutes)

diamong [38]
Below are the choices that can be found elsewhere:

A. (4.9 × 10-14 newtons) · tan(30°) 
<span>B. (4.9 × 10-14 newtons) · sin(30°) </span>
<span>C. (4.9 × 10-14 newtons) · cos(30°) </span>
<span>D. (4.9 × 10-14 newtons) · arctan(30°) </span>
<span>E. (4.9 × 10-14 newtons) · arccos(30°)
</span>
<span>Force is proportional to the angle made by the velocity with respect to the magnetic field. It is maximum when velocity is perpendicular to the magnetic field and minimum when the velocity is parallel to the magnetic field. It is proportional to sin of the angle. In this problem it will be proportional to sin(30)</span>

Which of the following is the smallest conceivable amount of time that could pass between a lunar eclipse and a solar eclipse .
pickupchik [31]
The time required for a moon to orbit around the earth is about 27-28 days

In order for lunar eclipse to occur the line that should be formed is:
Sun-Earth-Moon
because earth is making shade on moon

in order for solar eclipse to occur the line is now:
Sun-Moon-Earth
because moon is making a shade on earth (blocking sun = solar eclipse)

Therefore moon needs to make half of its orbit to go from behind the earth to in front of the earth.
