In 2004 astronomers reported the discovery of a large Jupiter-sized planet orbiting very close to the star HD 179949 (hence the

term "hot Jupiter"). The orbit was just 19 the distance of Mercury from our sun, and it takes the planet only 3.09 days to make one orbit (assumed to be circular). What is the mass of the star? Express your answer (a)in kilograms and (b)as a multiple of our sun's mass.

  <span>I'll tell you how to do it but you must crunch the numbers. 

Use Kepler's 3rd Law 

T^2 = k R^3 

where k = 4(pi)^2/ GM 
G =gravitational constant = 6.67300 × 10-11 m3 kg-1 s-2 
M = mass of this new planet 
pi = 3.14159265 
T =3.09 days = 266976 seconds 
R = (579,000,000km)/9 = 64333333.3 km 

a) 
Solve Kepler's 3rd Law for M. Your answer will be in kg 


b) 
mass of the sun = 1.98892 × 10^30 kilograms 
Form the ratio 
M(planet)/M(sun) </span>

Which of the following best describes a substance in which the temperature remains constant while at the same time it is experie
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

The right option is (d) substance undergoing a change of state

Explanation:

Latent Heat: Latent heat is the heat required to change the state of a substance without change in temperature. Latent heat is also known as hidden heat because the heat is not visible. The unit is Joules (J).

Latent heat is divided into two:

⇒ Latent Heat of fusion

⇒ Latent Heat of vaporization.

Latent Heat of fusion: This is the heat  energy required to convert a substance from its solid form to its liquid form without change in temperature. E.g (Ice) When ice is heated, its temperature rise steadily until a certain temperature is reached when the solid begins to melts.

Latent Heat of vaporization: This is the heat required to change a liquid substance to vapor without a change in temperature. The latent heat depend on the mass of the liquid and the nature of the liquid. E.g When water is heated from a known temperature  its boiling point (100°C) When more heat is supplied to its boiling temperature, it continue to boil without a change in temperature.

From The above, Latent heat brings about  a change of state of a substance at a steady temperature.

The right option is (d) substance undergoing a change of state

Leto [7]
In both scenarios, the position - time graph will be a linear graph, since the speed is constant, so your position is moving at a consistent pace.

What is the smallest value of n for which the wavelength of a Balmer series line is less than 400 nm
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

The smallest value is n= 2

Explanation:

The balmer equation is given below

1/λ = R(1/4 - 1/n₂²).

R= 1.0973731568508 × 10^7 m^-1

λ= 400*10^-9 m

(400*10^-9)= 1.0973731568508 × 10^7 (1/4-1/n²)

(400*10^-9)/1.0973731568508 × 10^7

= 1/4 - 1/n²

364.51 *10^-16= 1/4 - 1/n²

1/n²= 1/4 -364.51 *10^-16

1/n² = 0.25-3.6451*10^-14

1/0.25= n²

4= n²

√4= n

2= n

The smallest value is N= 2

Which of the following statements indicates that the client is at risk for an electrical shock at home?
sashaice [31]

Answer:

“I had to cut off the third prong on the electrical plug so that it would fit in the extension cord.”

Explanation:

A good method to find the customer at greater risk of receiving an electric shock is to discard the options.

If we analyze the fourth option "I always make sure that I am standing in a dry area before operating electrical equipment.", we will see that the customer minimizes the risk of electric conduction through a fluid. This precaution also minimizes the risk of electric shock.

The third option "I always read the owner’s manual when I purchase a new electrical appliance." It tells us that the customer knows how to properly use the electrical equipment that manipulates and knows the do and do not of such devices, so the risk of electric shock is reduced.

In the second option, "My bread got stuck in my toaster this morning, and I unplugged it before trying to remove it." The customer made sure to interrupt the electric flow to the device before proceeding and try to remove the jammed bread. If there is no electric current, there will be no electric shock to the customer.

The first option "I had to cut off the third prong on the electrical plug so that it would fit in the extension cord." It tells us that the client altered the cord extension in an inappropriate manner, since the equipment is not designed to work with two prongs. Because the design conditions are not being met, it is possible that the equipment malfunctions and this malfunction could result in the customer receiving an electric shock.

I hope the explanation was clear for you. If you have any further question, I'll be happy to assist you. :D
