In recent years, astronomers have found planets orbiting nearby stars that are quite different from planets in our solar system.

Kepler-12b, has a diameter that is 1.7 times that of Jupiter, but a mass that is only 0.43 that of Jupiter. What is the value of g on this large, but low-density, world?

Answer:

The value of g in Kepler-12b is $3.85 m/s^{2}$

Explanation:

To determine the value of g at Kepler-12b it is necessary to combine the equation of the weight and the equation for the Universal law of gravity:

$W = m.g$ (1)

Where m is the mass and g is the value of the gravity

$F = G \frac{M.m}{R^{2}}$ (2)

Equation (1) and equation (2) will be equal, since the weight is a force acting on the object as a consequence of gravity:

$m.g = G \frac{M.m}{R^{2}}$ (3)

Then g will be isolated from equation 3:

$g = G \frac{M.m}{m.R^{2}}$

$g = \frac{G.M}{R^{2}}$ (4)

The radius of Jupiter has a value of 69911000 meters, so its diameter can be determined by:

$d = 2R$ (5)

Where d and R are the diameter and radius of Jupiter

$d_{jupiter} = 2(69911000 m)$

$d_{jupiter} = 139822000 m$

Procedure for finding the radius of Kepler-12b:

For the case of Kepler-12b it has a diameter that is 1.7 times that of Jupiter

$d_{Kepler-12b} = 1.7(d_{jupiter})$

$d_{Kepler-12b} = 1.7(139822000 m)$

$d_{Kepler-12b} = 237697400 m$

By means of equation 5 the radius of Kepler-12b can be known:

$R_{Kepler-12b} = \frac{d}{2}$

$R_{Kepler-12b} = \frac{237697400 m}{2}$

$R_{Kepler-12b} = 118848700 m$

Procedure for finding the mass of Kepler-12b:

The mass of Jupiter has a value of $1.898x10^{27}$ kilograms

For the case of Kepler-12b it has a mass that is 0.43 times that of jupiter

$m_{Kepler-12b} = 0.43(m_{jupiter})$

$m_{Kepler-12b} = 0.43(1.898x10^{27} Kg)$

$m_{Kepler-12b} = 8.161x10^{26} Kg$

The value of g in Kepler-12b can be found by replacing its radius and mass in equation 4:

$g = \frac{(6.67x10^{-11} N.m^{2}/Kg^{2})(8.161x10^{26} Kg)}{(118848700 m)^{2}}$

$g = 3.85 m/s^{2}$

Hence, in Kepler-12b the gravity has a value of $3.85 m/s^{2}$

If a boat and its riders have a mass of 900 kg and the boat drifts in at 1.4 m/s how much work does sam do to stop it?

Rama09 [41]

The initial kinetic energy of the boat and its rider is
$K_i = \frac{1}{2} mv_i^2 = \frac{1}{2}(900 kg)(1.4 m/s)^2=882 J$

After Sam stops it, the final kinetic energy of the boat+rider is
$K_f = 0 J$
because its final velocity is zero.

For the law of conservation of energy, the work done by Sam is the variation of kinetic energy of the system:
$W=K_f-K_i =0-882 J=-882 J$
where the negative sign is due to the fact that the force Sam is applying goes against the direction of motion of the boat.

As shown in the diagram, two forces act on an object. The forces have magnitudes F1 = 5.7 N and F2 = 1.9 N. What third force wil

galina1969 [7]

Answer:

Second option 6.3 N at 162° counterclockwise from

F1->

Explanation:

Observe the attached image. We must calculate the sum of all the forces in the direction x and in the direction y and equal the sum of the forces to 0.

For the address x we have:

$-F_3sin(b) + F_1 = 0$

For the address and we have:

$-F_3cos(b) + F_2 = 0$

The forces $F_1$ and $F_2$ are known

$F_1 = 5.7\ N\\\\F_2 = 1.9\ N$

We have 2 unknowns ( $F_3$ and b) and we have 2 equations.

Now we clear $F_3$ from the second equation and introduce it into the first equation.

$F_3 = \frac{F_2}{cos (b)}$

Then

$-\frac{F_2}{cos (b)}sin(b)+F_1 = 0\\\\F_1 = \frac{F_2}{cos (b)}sin(b)\\\\F_1 = F_2tan(b)\\\\tan(b) = \frac{F_1}{F_2}\\\\tan(b) = \frac{5.7}{1.9}\\\\tan^{-1}(\frac{5.7}{1.9}) = b\\\\b= 72\°\\\\m = b +90\\\\\m= 162\°$

Then we find the value of $F_3$

$F_3 = \frac{F_1}{sin(b)}\\\\F_3 =\frac{5.7}{sin(72\°)}\\\\F_3 = 6.01 N$

Finally the answer is 6.3 N at 162° counterclockwise from

F1->

A ball is released from the top of a hill. How fast is the ball going when it reaches the base of the hill? Approximate g as 10

irina [24]

First I’ll show you this standard derivation using conservation of energy:
Pi=Kf,
mgh = 1/2 m v^2,
V = sqrt(2gh)
P is initial potential energy, K is final kinetic, m is mass of object, h is height from stopping point, v is final velocity.
In this case the height difference for the hill is 2-0.5=1.5 m. Thus the ball is moving at sqrt(2(10)(1.5))=
5.477 m/s.

The mass of Object 2 is double the mass of Object 5. The mass of Object 4 is half of the mass of Object 5 and the mass of Object

SVETLANKA909090 [29]

This is a great problem if you like getting tied up in knots
and making smoke come out of your brain.

I found that it makes the problem a lot easier if I give the objects some
numbers. I'm going to say that the mass of Object 5 is 20 clods.

Let the mass of Mass of Object 5 be 20 clods .

Then . . .

-- The mass of Object 2 is double the mass of Object 5 = 40 clods.

-- The mass of Object 4 is half of the mass of Object 5 = 10 clods.
and
-- the mass of Object 3 is half of the mass of Object 4 = 5 clods.

So now, here are the masses:

Object #1 . . . . . unknown
Object #2 . . . . . 40 clods
Object #3 . . . . . 5 clods
Object #4 . . . . . 10 clods
Object #5 . . . . . 20 clods .

Now let's check out the statements, and see how they stack up:

Choice-A:
Object 3 and Object 5 exert the same gravitational force on Object 1.
Can't be.
Objects #3 and #5 have different masses, so they can't both
exert the same force on the same mass.

Choice-B.
Object 2 and Object 4 exert the same gravitational force on Object 1.
Can't be.
Objects #2 and #4 have different masses, so they can't both
exert the same force on the same mass.

Choice-C.
The gravitational force between Object 1 and Object 2 is greater than
the gravitational force between Object 1 and Object 4.
Yes ! Yay !
Object-2 has more mass than Object-4 has, so it must exert more force on
ANYTHING than Object-4 does, (as long as the distances are the same).

Choice-D.
The gravitational force between Object 1 and Object 3 is greater than the gravitational force between Object 1 and Object 5.
Can't be.
Object-3 has less mass than Object-5 has, so it must exert less force on
ANYTHING than Object-4 does, (as long as the distances are the same).

Conclusion:
If the DISTANCE is the same for all the tests, then Choice-C is
the only one that can be true.

A 1.53-kg bucket hangs on a rope wrapped around a pulley of mass 7.07 kg and radius 66 cm. This pulley is frictionless in its ax

levacccp [35]

Answer:

$\alpha = 6.431\,\frac{rad}{s^{2}}$

Explanation:

The pulley is modelled by the Newton's Laws, whose equation of equilibrium is:

$\Sigma M = T \cdot R = \frac{1}{2}\cdot M \cdot R^{2}\cdot \alpha$

Given that tension is equal to the weight of the bucket, the angular acceleration experimented by the pulley is:

$T = \frac{1}{2}\cdot M \cdot R \cdot \alpha$

$m_{b}\cdot g = \frac{1}{2}\cdot M \cdot R \cdot \alpha$

$\alpha = \frac{2\cdot m_{b}\cdot g}{M\cdot R}$

$\alpha = \frac{2\cdot (1.53\,kg)\cdot \left(9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)}{(7.07\,kg)\cdot (0.66\,m)}$

$\alpha = 6.431\,\frac{rad}{s^{2}}$
