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

What pollutant forms when automobile emissions react with oxygen gas and ultraviolet rays?
creativ13 [48]

Ozone is a molecule that consists of three oxygen atoms. When high-energy ultraviolet rays strike ordinary oxygen molecules (O2), they split the molecule into two single oxygen atoms, known as atomic oxygen. A freed oxygen atom then combines with another oxygen molecule to form a molecule of ozone.  Hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides come from great variety of industrial and combustion processes. Motor vehicle exhaust and industrial emissions, gasoline vapors, and chemical solvents are some of the major sources of NOx and VOC that acts as a precursor of ozone. In urban areas, the number of automobiles are more and therefore, more production of such harmful gases. These gases in presence of sunlight leads to the formation of bad ozone.

A dog of mass 10 kg sits on a skateboard of mass 2 kg that is initially traveling south at 2 m/s. The dog jumps off with a veloc
Tasya [4]

Answer:

17 m/s south

Explanation:

m_1 = Mass of dog = 10 kg

m_2 = Mass of skateboard = 2 kg

v = Combined velocity = 2 m/s

u_1 = Velocity of dog = 1 m/s

u_2 = Velocity of skateboard

In this system the linear momentum is conserved

(m_1+m_2)v+m_1u_1+m_2u_2=0\\\Rightarrow u_2=-\dfrac{(m_1+m_2)v+m_1u_1}{m_2}\\\Rightarrow u_2=-\dfrac{(10+2)2+10\times 1}{2}\\\Rightarrow u_2=-17\ m/s

The velocity of the skateboard will be 17 m/s south as the north is taken as positive
