Answer:

9.36*10^11 m

Explanation

Orbital velocity  v=√{(G*M)/R},

G = gravitational constant =6.67*10^-11 m³ kg⁻¹ s⁻²,

M = mass of the star

R =distance from the planet to the star.

v=ωR, with ω as the angular velocity and R the radius

ωR=√{(G*M)/R},

ω=2π/T,

T = orbital period of the planet

To get R we write the formula by making R the subject of the equation

(2π/T)*R=√{(G*M)/R}

{(2π/T)*R}²=[√{(G*M)/R}]²,

(4π²/T²)*R²=(G*M)/R,

(4π²/T²)*R³=G*M,

R³=(G*M*T²)/4π²,

R=∛{(G*M*T²)/4π²},

Substitute values

R=9.36*10^11 m

The tires on your truck have 0.35 m radius. In a straight line, you drive 2600 m. What is the angular displacement of the tire,
Travka [436]
1) In a circular motion, the angular displacement \theta is given by
\theta =  \frac{S}{r}
where S is the arc length and r is the radius. The problem says that the truck drove for 2600 m, so this corresponds to the total arc length covered by the tire: S=2600 m. Using the information about the radius, r=0.35 m, we find the total angular displacement:
\theta =  \frac{2600 m}{0.35 m} =7428 rad

2) If we put larger tires, with radius r=0.60 m, the angular displacement will be smaller. We can see this by using the same formula. In fact, this time we have:
\theta =  \frac{2600 m}{0.60 m}=4333 rad

Infrared, visible light, then ultraviolet. Infrared is light that the human eye can not see and visible light is clearly light we can see then ultraviolet is has such a high frequency we can't see it either.
