Answer:

Extrasolar solar system differ from our solar system in many ways such as of mass, size and shape of the planet, as well as temperature or amount of heat received in each planet.

Explanation:

An extrasolar planet is a planet outside the Solar System, while the Solar System orbit around the sun as a result of the gravitational pull of the sun.

Thus, we can say that the major difference between extrasolar planetary systems and solar system is that in solar system, planets orbit around the Sun, while in extrasolar planetary systems, planets orbit around other stars.

All of the planets in our solar system orbit around the Sun. Planets that orbit around other stars are called exoplanets or extrasolar.

Extrasolar solar system differ from our solar system in many ways such as of mass, size and shape of the planet. They also differ in terms of temperature, because the temperature in each planet in solar system depends on its distance from the sun while that of the extrasolar depends on the activities of the star.

A constant force is applied to an object, causing the object to accelerate at 10 m/s^2. What will the acceleration be if: a) The

Liula [17]

What you need to know is that the force is

F=ma

The force is the product of mass and acceleration

this means that the acceleration is

a=F/m

a) The force is halved?
this means that f will be $\frac{F}{2}$ now:

a= $\frac{F}{2m}$

So the accelaration will also he halved (it's the original acceleratation divided by 2)

b) The object's mass is halved?
a= $\frac{F}{m/2}$ =a= $\frac{F2}{m}$

which is the original acceleration times two!! so it will double

c) The force and the object's mass are both halved?
now we have

a= $\frac{F/2}{m/2}$ =a= $\frac{2F}{2m}$ =a= $\frac{F}{m}$

so they will cancel each other out and the acceleration will stay the same!

The composition of the protoplanetary disk varies with distance from the protostar due to temperature.

lesantik [10]

Answer:

b) 1. Iron, silicates, carbon

2. Water

3. Methane, Ammonia, Carbon Dioxide.

Explanation:

Protoplanetry disk is the disk of gases and clouds of dust that rotates around the newly made star. The temperature of the protoplanetry disk actually determines the type of the planet that is to be formed. Inner part of the protoplanetry disk is closer to the sun thats why it is the hottest and denser part and composed of the materials like Iron, silicates, carbon as they have high melting points. Then comes those materials that exist in the solid form at lower temperatures such as the volatile materials like water. Ater that the protoplanetry disk is made of highly volatile materials that exists in solid from only at low coldest temperatures. So the outer part of the protoplanetry disk is made up of the Methane, Ammonia and Carbon Dioxide.

Kepler’s third law can be used to derive the relation between the orbital period, P (measured in days), and the semimajor axis,

NikAS [45]

Kepler's 3rd law is given as
P² = kA³
where
P = period, days
A = semimajor axis, AU
k = constant

Given:
P = 687 days
A = 1.52 AU

Therefore
k = P²/A³ = 687²/1.52³ = 1.3439 x 10⁵ days²/AU³

Answer: 1.3439 x 10⁵ (days²/AU³)
