1. As telescopes improve, astronomers are able to detect planets orbiting other stars. One such planet orbits its star at a distance of 2.897 x 109 km. (This is far enough from the star that radius of the star can be ignored.) The star has 1.9 times the mass of our sun (msun = 2 x 1030 kg). If the planet has a mass of 5.4 x 1027 kg, what is the force of gravity it experiences

The planet will experience a force of

Explanation:

The force of gravity experienced by the planet is of mass at a distance from a star of mass is given by

where is the gravitational constant.

The mass of the star is two times that of the sun:

,

the mass of the planet is

,

the distance of the planet form the star is

;

therefore, the force of gravity on the planet will be

which is the force that the planet will experience.

hail is a solid form of precipitation composed of large, layered ice particles called pellets that often have spherical shapes. this phenomenon occurs during thunderstorms in the could type known as cumulus

hope this you out ^w^
