1.43 × 10^9 m
9.36 × 10^11 m
5.42 × 10^13 m
9.06 × 10^17 m

We can find the answer from formula for orbital velocity v=√{(G*M)/R}, where G is the gravitational constant and G=6.67*10^-11 m³ kg⁻¹ s⁻², M is the mass of the star and R is the distance from the planet to the star. Also, v=ωR, where ω is the angular velocity and R is the radius.

ωR=√{(G*M)/R}, now, ω=2π/T, where T is the orbital period of the planet

(2π/T)*R=√{(G*M)/R}, we "put to the power of 2" both sides to get rid of the square root and get:

{(2π/T)*R}²=[√{(G*M)/R}]²,

(4π²/T²)*R²=(G*M)/R, we multiply by R:

(4π²/T²)*R³=G*M, now we solve for R and get:

R³=(G*M*T²)/4π², we take the third root to get R:

R=∛{(G*M*T²)/4π²}, plug in the numbers and get:

R=9.36*10^11 m

And this is the average distance between the planet and the star.

Answer from: Quest

quantum mechanics or quantum physics is physics of very small objects (particles) and physical entities.

quantum physics has some parallels to our macro world and some pretty unique ideas which theoretically and mathematically proven to be true even though we will never be able to access them because of our size.

there are many types of particles: subatomic, elementary etc.

subatomic means they are smaller than atom, elementary means they are at the very basis of everything.

subatomic particles are for eg. protons, neutrons but not electrons.

elementary particles are categorised into 3 groups by what they do.

these 3 groups are quarks, leptons and bosons.

light for example is a particle more precisely a photon a part of leptons.

proton (subatomic particle) is made out of 2 up quarks and 1 down quark each of these has a fractional charge like $\frac{1}{3}$ . (i crazy)

most famous scientist who contributed to this physics are:

max planckalbert einsteinerwin schrödingermany

the topic itself us understand a lot and will probably be vastly used in the future (quantum computers, understanding the big bang,

we also must not forget quantum effects like:

superposition (where 1 thing can be this and that at the same time),entanglement (where two particles are seemingly connected by some sort of unknown (or known) force, energy, matter (i know all that can be the same at least it was at the beginning)

and there is more. but probably too much for this answer to be consistent due to my average understanding of this topic.

hope this you understand quantum mechanics a little more. i'm not an expert in the topic (so don't be like wth if you are an expert) but i'm very interested in it.

anyways quantum physics is a very hard topic (harder than physics (perhaps)) therefore searching for every information there is about it and learning it is unfortunately impossible (you can only specialise into 1 - 3 things or more (perhaps

have fun and i wish you luck!

Sasha has just gotten a new job in a nearby city. after comparison shopping, she found that renting a nice two-bedroom apartment would cost around $800 per month. her utilities would cost about $150 per month. sasha has enough money saved for a down payment, and she found that she can buy a three-bedroom house or condo with a mortgage payment of $1,000 per month, including taxes and homeowner's insurance. her utilities would cost about $200 per month. what is the advantage of buying the house over renting the apartment?
