A space expedition discovers a planetary system consisting of a massive star and several spherical planets. The planets all have

the same uniform mass density. The orbit of each planet is circular. In the observed planetary system, Planet A orbits the central star at the distance of 2R and takes T hours to complete one revolution around the star. Planet B orbits the central star at the distance of R. Which of the following expressions is correct for the number of hours it takes Planet B to complete one revolution around the star?
a. 1/√8T
b. 1/2T
c. 1/√4T
d. 2T
e. √8T

Answer:

T_B=(\frac{T}{\sqrt{8}})

Explanation:

Distance of Planet A from Central star 2R

Time of Resolution T_A=T

Distance of Planet B from orbit star R

Generally the equation for Kepler's law of periods is given by

   \frac{T_A^2}{T_B^2}=\frac{R_A^3}{R_B^3}

   T_B^2=T_A^2 \frac{R_A^3}{R_B^3}

  T_B^2=T_A^2 (\frac{R_A}{R_B})^3

  T_B^2=T^2 (\frac{R}{2R})^3

  T_B^2=T^2 (\frac{1}{R})^3

  T_B^2=(\frac{T^2}{8})

Therefore the following expressions is correct for the number of hours it takes Planet B to complete one revolution around the star

  T_B=(\frac{T}{\sqrt{8}})

A boy carries a 50 N box up a flight of stairs 10-m high. How much potential energy has the box gained?
almond37 [142]

Answer:

Potential energy, P = 500 J

Explanation:

We have,

Weight of the box, W = 50 N

Height of the stairs, h = 10 m

It is required to find the potential energy gained by the box. The potential energy is possessed by an object due to its height. The formula of potential energy is given by :

P=mgh

g is acceleration due to gravity

P=50\ N\times 10\ m\\\\P=500\ J

So, the potential energy of 500 J is gained by the box.
