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/â8T
b. 1/2T
c. 1/3â4T
d. 2T
e. â8T

Answer:

T/√8

Explanation:

From Kepler's law, T² ∝ R³ where T = period of planet and R = radius of planet.

For planet A, period = T and radius = 2R.

For planet B, period = T' and radius = R.

So, T²/R³ = k

So, T²/(2R)³ = T'²/R³

T'² = T²R³/(2R)³

T'² = T²/8

T' = T/√8

So, the number of hours it takes Planet B to complete one revolution around the star is T/√8

tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

true b and c

Explanation:

n the electromechanical transitions of the atoms the relationship must be fulfilled

        \frac{x}{\lambda } = R (1 / nf - 1 / no²)

where for the final state nf = 1 giving in the case of hydrogen the Lymma series whose smallest wavelength is lam = 122 nm with nf = 1 and there are a series of spectral lines for each value of n of the final state

in the case of sodium so well it has a transition from an excited state to the kiss state (bad)

Now let's review the different proposals

a) False. The electronic potential for sodium is much lower than for hydrognosia

b) True

c) True

d) true

What statement is true about earth tectonic plates
DaniilM [7]
Continent jig-saw shapes when puzzled and combined together, formed one big continent - Pangea, and was separated by drifts.

Fossil comparisons of different species were discovered into two different, separated continents in which when you combine them, they were one in the past.

Seismic, volcanic, and geothermal activity are found along imagined plate boundaries. 

Plates were actually rubbing against each other as evidence is seen on the formed mountain ranges.

what is the acceleration of a softball if it has a mass of 0.50kg and hits the catcher’s glove with a force of 25 N
Kitty [74]

Answer:

mass=0.50kg

force=25N

acceleration =?

Now,

force=m×a

25=0.50×a

25÷0.50=a

50=a

acceleration =50m/s^2 answer!!!!

hope this may help you!!!!

Two cars collide and come to a complete stop. where did all of their energy go?
MA_775_DIABLO [31]
Most of the energy will be absorbed by the materials that make up the cars, causing them to deform. The energy will also be converted into sound energy, causing a loud bang upon collision. Also, some energy will be converted to thermal energy, which will cause the cars to heat up slightly.
