The answer can be found be using the formula of orbital velocity v=√{(G*M)/R}

Here G =Gravitational constant (G=6.67*10^-11 m³ kg⁻¹ s⁻²)

M= Mass of star

R = The distance between planet and the star

As we also know, v=ωR,

Here, ω= angular velocity

         R= radius

ωR=√{(G*M)/R}, now, ω=2π/T, where T is the orbital period of the planet

(2π/T)*R=√{(G*M)/R}, we "put to the power of 2" both sides to get rid of the square root and get:


{(2π/T)*R}²=[√{(G*M)/R}]², 


(4π²/T²)*R²=(G*M)/R, we multiply by R:


(4π²/T²)*R³=G*M, now we solve for R and get:


R³=(G*M*T²)/4π², we take the third root to get R:


R=∛{(G*M*T²)/4π²}, inserting the values of time and mass ( T= 2.8 x 10 s and Mass= 6.2x 10 kg)

R=∛{(G*M*T²)/4π²},

R=R=∛[{G=6.67*10^-11 x 6.2x 10 x (2.8 x 10^2)/4x3.14²},

R=9.36*10^11 m 


So this will be the average distance between the star and the planet.

Answer:

9.36 * 10^11 m

Explanation:

The formula of general velocity can be used here =  v=√{(G*M)/R}.

G = gravitational constant or 6.67*10^-11 m³ kg⁻¹ s⁻²

M = Mass of the star

R = radius

To find v we use the formula v=ωR.

Here ω is the angular velocity; ω  = ω=2π/T

Here T is the orbital period of the planet

The formula is arranged likewise: (2π/T)*R=√{(G*M)/R}

Step 2: {(2π/T)*R}²=[√{(G*M)/R}]²

Step 3: (4π²/T²)*R²=(G*M)/R

Step 4: (4π²/T²)*R³=G*M

Step 5: R³=(G*M*T²)/4π²

Step 6: R=∛{(G*M*T²)/4π²}

Step 7: Add your numbers to the formula and we get the answer.

Ugo [173]

The most distinctive feature of ape dentition, which clearly distinguishes apes from Old World monkeys, is a Y-5 molar pattern.

<h3>What is the Y-5 molar pattern?</h3>
  • This is a distinctive type of molar teeth pattern found in apes and hominoids.
  • In this, 5 cusps or raised surfaces are present on the grinding surface of teeth, roughly forming a Y- shape. Therefore, this is also known as Y-5 pattern.
  • Whereas Old world monkeys have only 4 cusps on their lower molars present in a bilophodont pattern.
  • A Y-5 molar is formed when the tooth is divided into different pieces which form the complete structure of the tooth.
  • In bilophodont pattern the tooth is divided into 2 symmetric sections.
  • The dental formula of apes is 2.1.2.3/2.1.2.3 i.e. 2 incisors, 1 canine, 2 premolars, 3 molars.
