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 ship leaves a port at noon and travels due west at 20 knots. At 6 PM, a second ship leaves the same port and travels northwest
Amanda [17]

Answer:

v = 12.44 Knots

Explanation:

First ship starts at Noon with speed 20 Knots towards West

now we know that 2nd ship starts at 6 PM with speed 15 Knots towards North West

so after time "t" of 2nd ship motion the two ships positions are given as

r_1 = 20(t + 6)\hat i

r_2 = 15(t)(cos45\hat i + sin45\hat j)

now we can find the distance between two ships as

x = \sqrt{(20(t + 6) - 10.6 t)^2 + (10.6t)^2}

now we have

x^2 = (120 + 9.4 t)^2 + (10.6 t)^2

x^2 = 200.72 t^2 + 14400 + 2256 t

now we will differentiate it with respect to time

2x\frac{dx}{dt} = 401.44 t + 2256

here we know that

t = \frac{90}{15} = 6 hours

so we have

x = 187.5

now we have

2(187.5) v = 401.44(6) + 2256

v = 12.44 Knots
