In which location would light travel at the highest speed

Physics
1 answer:
PSYCHO15rus [73]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

C. Between the Sun and Earth

Explanation:

C. Between the Sun and Earth

Reason is the space between the earth and sun is the least dense medium (like a vacuum) out of all the mediums so light would travel the fastest here.

Suppose that the sun shrank in size but that its mass remained the same. What would happen to the orbit of the earth?
Minchanka [31]

Answer:

Nothing

Explanation:

The radius of the orbit of the Earth does not depend on the radius of the sun.

In fact, the gravitational attraction between the Earth and the Sun provides the centripetal force that keeps the Earth in orbit:

G\frac{Mm}{r^2} = m\frac{v^2}{r}

where

G is the gravitational constant

M is the mass of the sun

m is the mass of the Earth

r is the radius of the orbit of the Earth

v is the orbital speed of the earth

Re-arranging the equation for r:

r=\frac{GM}{v^2}

Also,

v=\omega r

where \omega is the angular velocity of the Earth's orbit. So we can rewrite the equation as

r=\frac{GM}{\omega^2 r^2}\\r^3 = \frac{GM}{\omega^2}

As we see, the radius of the orbit of the Earth, r, does not depend on the mass of the Sun, so if the sun shrank in size, the orbit remains the same.

The innermost satellite of jupiter orbits the planet with a radius of 422 × 103 km and a period of 1.77 days. what is the mass o
FinnZ [79.3K]

The mass of Jupitar is obtained from the calculations as 5.8 * 10^-14 Kg.

<h3>What is the mass of Jupitar?</h3>

There are nine planets in the solar system and the sun lies at the enter of our solar system. This is the heliocentric model of the solar system.

Given that;

T^2 = GMr^3/4π

T = period

G = gravitational constant

r = radius

M = mass of Jupitar

Now;

1 day = 86400 seconds

1.77 days = 1.77 days *  86400 seconds/1 day

= 152928 seconds

Making M the subject of the formula;

M =4πT^2/Gr^3

M = 4 * 3.142 * (152928)^2/6.67 × 10^-11 * (422 × 10^9)^3

M = 2.9 * 10^11/5.0 * 10^24

M = 5.8 * 10^-14 Kg
