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>

The force required to open air bags is dangerous for:
pentagon [3]

It is dangerous for children. Air bags are dangerous to children age 12 and under because the bag inflates at speeds up to 200 mph and that sudden blast of energy can severely injure or kill passengers who are too close to the air bag. If possible, children should ride in the center of back seat, properly restrained with a seat belt.

The water in the plumbing in a house is at a gauge pressure of 300,000 pa. What force does this cause on the top of the tank ins
liraira [26]

Answer:

60 000 N

Explanation:

1 pa = 1 N/m^2

you have 300 000 of these   = 300 000 N /m^2

    but only an area of .2 m^2

                    300 000 N / m^2  * .2 m^2 = 60 000 N

Which scientist continued the work of another while studying the elliptical path of planets? Name both scientists. Kepler advanc
Korolek [52]
This question is so vague as to render it useless.

I suspect the answer they're looking for is Kepler advanced Copernicus's work as is stated. but the way science works is that anyone who has contributed will have their work built on. for example, Newton advanced Kepler's work on the elliptical path of planets as Einstein advanced Newton's work.
