K=T^2/r^3
T^2/r^3 =(4π^2)/(Gm_1 )
T^2/r^3 =(4π^2)/((6.67×〖10〗^(-11) )×(1.898×〖10〗^27))
T^2/r^3 =3.118×〖10〗^(-16)
r^3/T^2 =3.204×〖10〗^15 log(r^3/T^2 )=log(3.204 ×〖10〗^15)
log(r^3 )-log(T^2 )=log(3.204 ×〖10〗^15)
3 log(r)-2 log(T)= log(3.204 ×〖10〗^15)
log(r)=2/3 log(T)+(log(3.204×〖10〗^15))/3
Kepler’s Third Law states that the gradient of the graph should be two thirds. Therefore because the graph shows the gradient of the moons is 0.6585 we can in fact confirm that Kepler’s Third Law is correct.
Q1c.
〖T_a〗^2/〖r_a〗^3 =〖T_b〗^2/〖r_b〗^3
〖1.77〗^2/〖(4.22×〖10〗^8)〗^3 =〖250.25〗^2/〖r_b〗^3
〖r_b〗^3=(〖(4.22×〖10〗^8)〗^3×〖250.25〗^2)/〖1.77〗^2
〖r_b〗^3=1.502×〖10〗^30
r_b=∛(1.502×〖10〗^30 )
r_b=1.145×〖10〗^10

If an intervening mass can align perfectly with a background source then it will bend the light creating a ring of light around the object. This is known as Einstein’s ring and depending on the mass of the object will determine the size of the ring, a larger mass results in a larger ring. (Richmond, 2015)
Our universe is 85% dark matter, dark matter may be invisible but it still has mass and therefore when light travels towards it, it will bend around them matter causing gravitational lensing. All objects can bend light but usually the change is not measurable on smaller objects such as humans, for any substantial bend to occur it would take a huge mass and a light ray to travel extremely close to the matter. When the light bends it can alters the shape of the image, with a galaxy for example it can bend or warp the shape which is normally elliptical or spiral looking. (Grocutt, 2015)
An accretion disk is formed when rocks, gasses and other satellites travel close to a black hole; they are sucked into the gravitational field (StrongGravity, 2013). A black hole is a place in space where the gravitational field is so great that not even light can escape it. This is because matter has been compressed into such a confined space; this can occur when a star is dying for example (Smith, 2008). Once trapped in the gravitational field the rocks and
For Body 2 T^2/r^3 was 1.99E-5, for Body 3 it was 1.97E-5 and for Body 3 is was 1.97E-5. For Body 4 this was 1.85E-5. The data helps support the fact that the T^2/r^3 should be the same for all planets because the numbers were all relatively similar, especially for Bodies 2 and 3 which were identical and thus proved Kepler’s Law of Harmony, which states that T^2/r^3 should be the same for all planets orbiting the same central body.
As this matter spirals into the black hole it creates what is known as an accretion disk, which accelerates and heats up emitting X-rays which can then be detected by astronomers.[6]
The disk of gas around the black hole is propelled by the radiation emitted by the disk itself. The disk emits radiation because of the friction and gravity heating the gas. The disk generates as much light as twenty two trillion suns. The light from this monstrosity takes about 11 billion years to reach Earth.
United States is a country with a big cultural diversity. Persons from all the countries, especially from the least developed ones, start a new life in this country with the only purpose of reach the American Dream. A better economic position, life style and educational opportunities for their family, are some of the facts that immigrates are looking for in America. All these privileges are not enough for them to forget their background. The reading Two Kinds by Amy Tan, and the movie The Namesake by Dir. Mira Nair, show two different stories about how the new family in America struggle with the parent’s culture and what American culture is. Immigrants, such as me, have to face many life changes when arriving for first time to America, such as different beliefs and ideologies, different language and new economic opportunities
1-4 For each of the following,classify the variable as either qualitative or quantitative.if it is quantitative,state whether it is discrete or continuous.
Kepler's Third Law states the relationship between the period of motion for a planet and the semi-major axis of the planet's elliptical orbit. The relationship is that the square of the period is proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis. Kepler's interpretations were uncommon because he used mathematics in his determinations of the laws and didn't just believe in God about what happened in the
The short story, “Two Kinds”, written by Amy Tan, is written from the point of view of the character named Jing-Mei. There are three experiences which demonstrate her viewpoint. In the first experience, Jing-Mei is being told by her mom about the “American dream”. At first, she strives to pursue this prodigy. Her mom would test her every night after dinner. Through Jing-Mei’s eyes, she starts to realize that it was not the life she wanted to live. Lines in the story illustrate this when he says “I won’t let her change me, I promised myself. I won’t be what I’m not.” (p.406). In the second experience, Jing-Mei performs in a talent show. Her mother forced her to learn how to play the piano. After seeing a little girl playing the piano
The first black hole was discovered in 1971 and John Wheeler, an American astronomer, coined the term black hole in 1967 (“Black Holes: Facts”). Black holes are formed out of pieces of a star that have exploded in a supernova explosion (“Black Holes – NASA”). They are also formed when two stars have a stellar collision
The star has been losing fuel and is burning out, so the star will begin to collapse. When collapsing part of the star will shoot into space and scientist believe this is how a supermassive black hole forms. When the hole is forming, dust and gas is collected from the galaxy surrounding the black hole. Light cannot be released because matter is squeezed together in a small space. Stellar black holes are small but dense and can have 20 times more mass than the sun. Mass is the property of a physical body. When a black hole is forming it is possible for mass to be pulled from stars around the whole. This will help the hole grow in power and
The formation of these little black holes are from the compression of matter caused by the
6) The moons altitude increased from each other by 10 in the first two observations, and after that there was a short decrease of
Later on, he accomplished and developed the general theories of relativity which “helped make predictions concerning light and gravitation” (“Albert Einstein”. 5). Einstein’s first prediction was “that a red shift is produced if light passes through an intense gravitational field, and this was subsequently detected in astronomical observations in 1925. The second was a prediction that the apparent positions of stars would shift when they are seen near the sun because the sun’s intense gravity would bend the light rays from the stars as they pass the sun” (5).Later on, “one of the deep
Common types of black holes are produced by certain dying stars. A star with a mass greater than 20 times the mass of our sun can produce a black hole at the end of its life. Black holes are usually only created by the death of a very massive star. When a very massive star dies, it explodes into a supernova. The outer parts of the star are launched violently into space while the core completely collapses under its own weight. If the core remaining after the giant explosion from the supernova is very massive, there
This is one way that matter could escape the black hole. Huge jets of gas sometimes come out from either ends of the hole, or gas will spin around the hole, called an accretion disk.
The most recent confirmation of Albert Einstein’s theory of relativity was the detection of gravitational waves. This discovery revolutionised our understanding of science and the universe. It has also unlocked the potential for future scientific endeavours especially in the field of gravitational wave astronomy.
