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

a 2kg marble is moving at 3 m/s when it strikes another 4kg marble moving in the opposite direction at -3 m/s. What will be the
Elan Coil [88]
Momentum is conserved after the collision 

Momentum of 2 Kg before collision = 2 * 3 = 6
Momentum of 4 kg  before collision = 4 * -3 = -12

so 6 + -12 = 2 * -4 + 4 *x   where x is velocity of 4kg marble.

4x - 8 = -6
4x = 2
x = 0.5 

Velocity of 4 kg marble is 0.5 m/s after collision

The 2 kg marble will move in the opposite direction to which it was moving before the collision.

The launching velocity of a missile is 20.0 m/s, and it is shot at 53º above the horizontal. What is the vertical component of t
Lyrx [107]

Given that

Velocity of missile (v) = 20 m/s ,

Angle of missile (Θ) = 53°

Determine ,   Vertical component  = v sin Θ

                                                        = 20 sin 53°

                                                        = 15.97 m/s

If a 60-watt bulb is used to light a room, how much current is flowing through the bulb given that the voltage is 120 volts?
Pavel [41]
 Well, if I understand correctly, I think it'd be 60, because 60+60= 120, but I may be wrong. It's not my best subject, but why not try to help even though I suck lol.

dem82 [27]

Answer:

The method to determine whether a string contains a value that can be converted to a specific data type before it is converted to that data type

Explanation:

The Java string includes () method to check whether a particular sequence of character is the part of given sub string or not.

One string contain another string in Java or not.

The indexof() to check the string and substring in java

Hence java string include () method to check  whether a string contains a value that can be converted to a specific data type before it is converted to that data type
