Answer: Mass of the planet, M= 8.53 x 10^8kg

Explanation:

Given Radius = 2.0 x 106m

Period T = 7h 11m

Using the third law of kepler's equation which states that the square of the orbital period of any planet is proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis of its orbit.

This is represented by the equation

T^2 = ( 4π^2/GM) R^3

Where T is the period in seconds

T = (7h x 60m + 11m)(60 sec)

= 25860 sec

G represents the gravitational constant

= 6.6 x 10^-11 N.m^2/kg^2 and M is the mass of the planet

Making M the subject of the formula,

M = (4π^2/G)*R^3/T^2

M = (4π^2/ 6.6 x10^-11)*(2×106m)^3(25860s)^2

Therefore Mass of the planet, M= 8.53 x 10^8kg

Alborosie

Answer:

Strato-volcano

Explanation:

Strato-volcanoes are usually characterized by the presence of steep-sided slopes, with distinct craters, and are frequently erupted and conical in appearance. This type of volcano is generally felsic in nature. Due to the presence of high silica content, the magma being highly viscous, moves at a relatively slower rate. These are highly explosive and produce a large number of pyroclastic materials, lava flow, volcanic ashes, and gases.

They are also commonly considered as the composite volcano, and are comprised of alternating tephra and solidified lava layers.

Light from a lamp is shining on a surface. how can you increase the intensity of the light on the surface?
vlada-n [284]
The intensity of a light in a surface follows the inverse square law formula which can be mathematically expressed as,
                         I = k/d²
where I is intensity, d is distance, and k is the proportionality constant. For us to increase the intensity, we should lower the distance from the source to the surface.

Bradley gets an x-ray at a radiology clinic that employs its own technologists and radiologists. Would the coder at the clinic r
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

Explanation:

If Bradley examination was done and interpreted in the same facility, the radiologist code is used example- procedure code 72100- Radiologic examination, spine, lumbosacral, 2 or 3 views is reported.

if the X-ray was taken by Dr X but Dr X does not read or interpret the image but forward it to the radiologist for initial report, then a 26- modifier is used. E.g A reports by the technologist would be, procedure code 72050-Radiologic examination, spine, cervical, 2 or 3

views or 72050- TC in certain situations and the consulting radiologist would report 72050-26.

if Bradley’s x-ray were sent to an independent radiologist for interpretation, then the procedure code 76140 is used in reporting.

What is the magnitude of the relative angle φ
melomori [17]

Complete question is;

A ski jumper travels down a slope and leaves the ski track moving in the horizontal direction with a speed of 24 m/s. The landing incline below her falls off with a slope of θ = 59◦ . The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s².

What is the magnitude of the relative angle φ with which the ski jumper hits the slope? Answer in units of ◦

Answer:

14.08°

Explanation:

The time covered will be given by the formula;

t = (2V_x•tan θ)/g

t = (2 × 24 × tan 59)/9.8

t = 8.152 s

Now, the slope of the flight path at the point of impact will be given by the formula;

tan α = V_y/V_x

We are given V_x = 24 m/s

V_y will be gotten from the formula;

v = gt

Thus;

V_y = gt

V_y = 9.8 × (8.152) = 78.89 m/s

Thus;

tan α = 78.89/24

tan α = 3.2871

α = tan^(-1) 3.2871

α = 73.08°

Thus ;

Relative angle φ = α - θ = 73.08 - 59 = 14.08°
