Answer:

The mass of the star is, M = 5.9567x10³⁰ Kg

Explanation:

Given

The orbital period of the planet, T = 0.76 year

                                                        = 2.3967x10⁷ seconds

The distance between planet and sun, R+h = 1.2 a.u

                                                                        = 1.795 x 10¹¹ meters

The orbital period of the planet is given by the formula

                                 T={2\pi\sqrt{\frac{(R+h)^{2}}{GM}}}

Squaring and solving for M

                                   M=\frac{4\pi ^{2} (R+h)^{3}}{GT^{2} }

Substituting the given values in the above equation

                          M=\frac{4\pi ^{2}(1.795X10^{11} )^{3} }{6.673X10^{-11}X(2.3967X10^{7})^{2}}    

                                     M = 5.9567 x 10³⁰ Kg

Hence, the mass of the star the planet is orbiting, M = 5.9567 x 10³⁰ Kg

Kryger [21]

Answer: Option (C)

Explanation: Rock cycle plays an important role in the alteration of rocks from one form to another.

  1. Igneous rocks when undergoes high temperature and pressure condition, it transforms into a metamorphic rock.
  2. Sedimentary rocks are formed from the sedimentation and consolidation of sediments
  3. Igneous rocks are formed due to the crystallization of magma.

Hence the correct answer is option (C)

How much power is needed to lift the 200-N object to a height of 4 m in 4 s?
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer: 2000 watts

Explanation:

Given that,

power = ?

Weight of object = 200-N

height = 4 m

Time = 4 s

Power is the rate of work done per unit time i.e Power is simply obtained by dividing work by time. Its unit is watts.

i.e Power = work / time

(since work = force x distance, and weight is the force acting on the object due to gravity)

Then, Power = (weight x distance) / time

Power = (200N x 4m) / 4s

Power = 8000Nm / 4s

Power = 2000 watts

Thus, 2000 watts of power is needed to lift the object.
