Which one of the following can the transit method tell us about a planet? -its mass-its size-the eccentricity of its orbit

Physics

aalyn [17]3 years ago

The "transit method" means doing very careful precise measurements as the planet passes in front of its star.  

It's too far away for us to see it directly, but when it "transits" the star, the brightness of the star decreases by a tiny tiny tiny bit, which we can measure.

If we can measure that dip with good enough precision, it tells us how much of the star's photosphere was blocked from our view when the planet temporarily got in the way.  From that, we can estimate the planet's <em>size</em>.

Scientists often say that light and other forms of electromagnetic radiation have a dual nature
Alex

Answer:

Behaves as a wave.

Explanation:

The dual nature of light means that light behaves as a wave. If the light consisted of small particles, the alternating light and dark bands would not have occurred.

Sometimes it behaves like a particle (called a photon), which explains how light travels in straight lines.

A 11.0 kg satellite has a circular orbit with a period of 1.80 h and a radius of 7.50 × 106 m around a planet of unknown mass. I
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Expression for times period of a satellite can be given as follows

Time period T = 1.8 x 60 x 60

= 6480

T² = \frac{4\times \pi^2\times r^3}{GM} where T is time period , r is radius of orbit , G is gravitational constant and M is mass of the satellite.

6480² = 4 x 3.14² x 7.5³ x 10¹⁸ / GM

GM = 4 x 3.14² x 7.5³ x 10¹⁸ / 6480²

= 3.96 X 10¹⁴

Expression for acceleration due to gravity

g = GM / R² where R is radius of satellite

20 = 3.96 X 10¹⁴ / R²

R² = 3.96 X 10¹⁴ / 20

= 1.98 x 10¹³ m

R= 4.45 x 10⁶ m

What is the instantaneous velocity v of the particle at t=10.0s?
algol [13]
The instantenous velocity is just the slope of the graph at a certain instant. Since the graph is a straight line, its instantenous velocity is uniform through out. v = dx / dt = (40 - 10) / (50 - 0) = 0.6 m/s.
