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}

Two identical point charges are 3.00 cm apart. find the charge on each of them if the force or repulsion is 4.00 x 10^-7. (Use C
DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

Charge on each is 2 x 10⁻¹⁰.

Explanation:

We know that Force between two point charges is given b the Coulomb's law as:

F = kq₁q₂/r^2

k = 9 x 10^9

r = 3.00 cm

= 0.03 m

q₁ = q₂

F = 4.00 x 10^-7

Rearranging the formula, we get:

F = k q²/r²

q² = Fr²/k

q² = 4 x 10⁻⁷ x 0.03²/(9x10⁹)

q² = 4 x 10⁻²⁰

q = 2 x 10⁻¹⁰

As there is force of repulsion between the charges, the charges must be both positive or both negative.

Molodets [167]

b) between poles M1 and M2

Explanation:

From the expression, we can deduce that r is the distance between two magnetic poles M1 and M2.

The law of attraction between two magnetic poles states that:

<em>  the force of attraction or repulsion between two magnetic poles is a function of the product of the strength of the magnetic poles and the square of the distance between the pole</em>s

 

    Mathematically:

            FM = K \frac{M1 M2}{r^{2} }

 here r is the distance between the poles

  FM is the magnetic force between the poles

   M1 is the strength of the first magnetic pole

   M2 is the strength of the second pole

   K is the magnetic field constant

A solid conducting sphere with radius R carries a positive total charge Q. The sphere is surrounded by an insulating shell with
Illusion [34]

Answer:

Explanation:

Volume of the insulating shell is,

V_{shell}=\frac{4}{3}\pi(R^3_2-R^3_1)

Charge density of the shell is,

\rho=\frac{Q_{shell}}{\frac{4}{3}\pi(R^3_2-R^3_1)}

Here, R_2 =2R, R_1 =R \,and\, Q_{shell} =-Q

\rho=\frac{Q_{shell}}{\frac{4}{3}\pi((2R)^3-R^3)}=\frac{-3Q}{28\piR^3}

B)

The electric field is E=\frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{Qr}{R^3}

For 0 <r<R the electric field is zero, because the electric field inside the conductor is zero.

C)

For R <r <2R According to gauss law

E(4\pi r^2)=\frac{Q}{\epsilon_0}+\frac{4\pi\rho}{3\epsilon_0}(r^3-R^3)

substitute \rho=\frac{-3Q}{28\piR^3}

E=\frac{2}{7\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{Q}{r^2}-\frac{Qr}{28\piR^3}

D)

The net charge enclosed for each r in this range is positive and the electric field is outward

E)

For r>2R

Charge enclosed is zero, so electric field is zero
