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

Newton's 2nd law of motion:

                       Force  =  (mass) x (acceleration)

                                   =  (1,127 kg) x (6 m/s² forward)

                                   =  (1,127 x 6)  newtons forward

                                   =    6,762 newtons forward
______________________________

             Momentum  =  (mass) x (speed)

                                 =   (69 kg) x (6 m/s)

                                 =      414 kg-m/s

On a distant planet, a rock falls in 48.4 s from the top of a 1.10e+02 m cliff to the planet surface below. What is the accelera
pav-90 [236]

this can be solve using the formala of free fall

t = sqrt( 2y/ g)

where t is the time of fall

y is the height

g is the acceleration due to gravity

48.4 s = sqrt (2 (1.10e+02 m)/ g)

G = 0.0930 m/s2

The velocity at impact

V = sqrt(2gy)

= sqrt( 2 ( 0.0930 m/s2)( 1.10e+02 m)

V = 4.523 m/s

Why are the wires twisted around each other in twisted pair cable?
Goryan [66]

The wires are twisted around each other in a twisted pair cable for the purpose of blocking off any external electromagnetic interference.

A twisted-pair cable is a form of cable system used for telecom services as well as most current wired networks. Twisted pairs are composed of two insulated copper wires that are been twisted together. The circuit is formed by a twisted pair of wires that may carry data. These pairs are twisted to prevent interference or noise caused by neighboring pairs.
