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>

Skylar travels 50 meters N and then goes 30 meters W before coming straight back south 20 meters. What distance did she travel?
lesya [120]

Answer:

100\ \text{meters}.

Explanation:

Distance Skylar traveled North is 50\ \text{meters}

Then she traveled 30\ \text{meters} Westward.

After which she traveled 20\ \text{meters} towards the South.

The total distance traveled would be the sum of the distances.

50+30+20=100\ \text{meters}

The distance traveled by Skylar was is 100\ \text{meters}.

A circuit contains two light bulbs connected in parallel. What would happen to the brightness of each light bulb if two more lig
laila [671]

Answer;

C. The brightness of each bulb would remain the same even though the total resistance of the circuit would decrease.

Explanation;

-If light bulbs are connected in parallel to a voltage source, the brightness of the individual bulbs remains more-or-less constant as more and more bulbs are added to the circuit.

-The current increases as more bulbs are added to the circuit and the overall resistance decreases. In addition, if one bulb is removed from the circuit the other bulbs do not go out. Each bulb is independently linked to the voltage source
