Answer:

Astronomers have no theoretical explanation for the ""hot Jupiters"" observed orbiting some other stars.

False

Explanation:

The “hot Jupiters” joint word startes to be used to be able to describe planets like 51 Pegasi b, a planet with a 10-day-or-less orbit and a mass 25% or greater than Jupitere, circling a sun-like star planet in 1995, which was found by astronomers Michel Mayor and Didier Queloz, who were awarded the 2019 Nobel Prize for Physics along with the cosmologist James Peebles for their “contributions to our understanding of the evolution of the universe and Earth’s place in the cosmos.”

Now we know a total of 4,000-plus exoplanets, but only a few more than 400 meet the definition of the enigmatic hot Jupiters which, tell us a lot about how planetary systems form, and what kinds of conditions cause extreme results.

In a 2018 paper in the Annual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics, astronomers Rebekah Dawson of the Pennsylvania State University and John Asher Johnson of Harvard University reviewed on how hot Jupiters might have formed, and would be the meaning for the rest of the planets in the galaxy.

A ball with 100 J of PE is released from a height of 10 m. What will be the KE of the ball at 5

harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

The kinetic energy is: 50[J]

Explanation:

The ball is having a potential energy of 100 [J], therefore

PE = [J]

The elevation is 10 [m], and at this point the ball is having only potential energy, the kinetic energy is zero.

$E_{p} =m*g*h\\where:\\g= gravity[m/s^{2} ]\\m = mass [kg]\\m= \frac{E_{p} }{g*h}\\ m= \frac{100}{9.81*10}\\\\m= 1.01[kg]\\\\$

In the moment when the ball starts to fall, it will lose potential energy and the potential energy will be transforme in kinetic energy.

When the elevation is 5 [m], we have a potential energy of

$P_{e} =m*g*h\\P_{e} =1.01*9.81*5\\\\P_{e} = 50 [J]\\$

This energy is equal to the kinetic energy, therefore

Ke= 50 [J]

Sheila uses a 45N force on her bowling ball across a 15m lane. What work did she do on the bowling ball? Show your work.

Maurinko [17]

Answer:

675J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Force = 45N

Distance = 15m

Unknown:

Work done by Sheila = ?

Solution:

Work done by a body is the amount of force applied to make a body move through a distance;

Work done = Force x distance

Now;

Work done = 45 x 15 = 675J

An automobile rounds a curve of radius 50.0 m on a flat road.

bixtya [17]

Answer:

14m/s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Radius of the curve = 50m

Centripetal acceleration = 3.92m/s²

Unknown:

Speed needed to keep the car on the curve = ?

Solution:

The centripetal acceleration is the inwardly directly acceleration needed to keep a body along a curved path.

It is given as;

a = $\frac{v^{2} }{r}$

a is the centripetal acceleration

v is the speed

r is the radius

Now insert the parameters and find v;

v² = ar

v² = 3.92 x 50 = 196

v = √196 = 14m/s
