Ogle–2013–blg–0723 is an exoplanet that is similar to earth in size and proximity to its star. this exoplanet has mass m=4.18×1024kg and radius r=5.66×106m. an astronaut whose weight on earth is w=735n lands on the planet. a. calculate m, the mass of the astronaut. b. calculate gp? , the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of ogle–2013–blg–0723. c. calculate wp? , the weight of the astronaut on the surface of ogle–2013–blg–0723. d. calculate v, the minimum velocity required to put an object into orbit above ogle–2013–blg–0723. e. calculate t, the time required to complete an orbit around ogle–2013–blg–0723.

Asystem containing an ideal gas at a constant pressure of 1.22×10^5 pa gains 2140 j of heat. during the process, the internal energy of the system increases by 2320 j. what is the change in volume of the gas?

Unpolarized light falls on two polarizer sheets whose transmission axes are at right angles. a third polarizer is placed between the first two so that its axis makes a 52-degree angle with the axis of the first polarizer. a) what fraction of the incident light intensity is transmitted through the first polaroid? b) what fraction of the incident light intensity is transmitted through the second polaroid? c) what is the angle of polarization of the light that enters the third polaroid? d) what fraction of the incident light intensity is transmitted through the third polaroid. e) what happens if the middle polaroid is removed?
