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>

Why is the curve between 1950 and 1980 relatively flat and centered around zero degrees difference from the baseline? (Hint: how
zimovet [89]

Look at the title of the graph, in small print under it.

Each point is "compared to 1950-1980 baseline". So the set of data for those years is being compared to itself. No wonder it matches up pretty close !

A sinusoidal sound wave moves through a medium and is described by the displacement wave function
ZanzabumX [31]

By applying the wave equation we know that the maximum speed of the element's oscillatory motion is 1716 micrometer / s.

We need to know about wave equations to solve this problem. The displacement of the wave on the y-axis can be explained by the wave equation

y = A cos (kx - ωt)

where y is y-axis displacement, A is amplitude, k is wave number, x is x-axis displacement, ω is angular speed and t is time.

the wavenumber and angular speed of the wave equation can be determined respectively by

k = 2π / λ

ω = 2πf

where k is the wavenumber, λ is wavelength and f is frequency.

From the question above, we know that:

y = 2.00cos (15.7x - 858t)

v = dy / dt

v = d(2.00cos (15.7x - 858t)) / dt

v = -858 x (-2.00sin(15.7x - 858t))

v = 1716 sin(15.7x - 858t) micrometer/s

maximum velocity can be reached when (sinθ = 1), hence

v = 1716 sin(15.7x - 858t)

v = 1716 x 1

v = 1716 micrometer / s

To lift a load of 100 kg a distance of 1 m an effort of 25 kg must be applied over an inclined plane of length 4 m. What must be
andreyandreev [35.5K]
Work = force * distance.
We must produce twice as much energy as we are lifting the weight twice as high.
But we are not increasing the force so we must increase the length of the ramp ( distance ) instead.
The new length will be twice as great as the previous length.
So 8 metres is required. 


25 kg * 8 m = work = 100 kg * 2 m
