<u>Answer</u>

Gravitational force

<u>Explanation</u>

Gravitational force is the force of attraction between two bodies of a given masses. It is calculated as follows:

Gravitational force = GM₁M₂/r²

From the formula it can be seen that gravitational force is inversely proportional to the r where are is the distance between the two bodies.

When the distance increases the gravitational force decreases.

kondaur [170]

Answer:

4.6 years

Explanation:

This is solved using Kepler's third law which says:

T^2=\frac{4\pi ^2}{GM} a^2

Where

T = Orbital period of the planet (in seconds)

a = Distance from the star (in meters)

G = Gravitational constant

M = Mass of the parent star (in kg)

From the information given

M = 3.5M_{sun} = 6.96*10^{30} kg

a=4.2AU = 6.28*10^{11} meters

G = 6.67*10^{-11}m^3kg^{-1}s^{-2}

We put this into Kepler's law and get:

T=\sqrt{\frac{4\pi ^2}{6.67*10^{-11}*6.96*10^{30}} (6.28*10^{11})^3}=145,128,196 seconds.

This when converted to years is 4.6 years.

what is the main reason that attitudes are more often revealed in spoken rather than written language
pishuonlain [190]
It's a combination of all those things. probably because we are taught from an early age to write in an academic fashion, giving balanced arguments and a conclusion. When speaking from the heart, there is no opposing argument nor is there a conclusion, just emotion.
