AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the challenge of determining the mass of a theoretical planet that orbits a star without having a satellite. Participants clarify that it is not possible to calculate the planet's mass solely based on the provided parameters, which include the star's characteristics and the planet's distance and orbital period. The lack of an orbiting satellite means that gravitational interactions cannot be used to derive the mass. The conversation highlights the need for additional data or methods to ascertain the planet's mass. Ultimately, the consensus is that the available information is insufficient for this calculation.

Homework Statement


Hi I am doing a report for a space science class, and i have a theoretical planet that orbits a star 1.07solarM 1.05solarR 6000K, then planet is distance 1.08AU, a period of 400days, temp of 12.85degC and radius of 1.98earthM... Is it at all possible to find the planets mass!? if i don't have an orbiting satellite? if so could you tell me the formula, i can't find one anywhere...

No, we can't find the planet's mass from the information given.
 

Thread 'Errors and significant figures'

I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'

Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
