What is radioactivity

1 answer:

3 0

Radioactivity refers to the particles which are emitted from nuclei as a result of nuclear instability. Because the nucleus experiences the intense conflict between the two strongest forces in nature, it should not be surprising that there are many nuclear isotopes which are unstable and emit some kind of radiation.

An astronaut lands on a new, recently discovered planet in a different star system. The astronaut measures the acceleration due

Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

The radius of the new planet is ~2.04 * 10⁶ m, or 2,041,752 m.

Explanation:

We can use Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation:

$\displaystyle F_g=G\frac{Mm}{r^2}$

Let's look at Newton's 2nd Law:

$F=ma$

We can set these equations equal to each other:

$\displaystyle G\frac{Mm}{r^2} =ma$

The mass of the second mass (astronaut) cancels out. We are left with:

$\displaystyle G\frac{M}{r^2} =a$

We are solving for the radius of the new planet, so we can rearrange the equation:

$\displaystyle r=\sqrt{\frac{GM}{a} }$

Substitute in our known values given in the problem (G = 6.67 * 10⁻¹¹ ; M = 7.5 * 10²³ ; a = 12).

$\displaystyle r =\sqrt{\frac{(6.67\times 10^{-11})(7.5 \times 10^{23}}{12} }$
$r=2.04 \times 10^6$

The radius of the new planet is ~2.04 * 10⁶ m.
