In an imaginary planetary systam, the centrel star has the same mass as our sun, but is much brighter so that only a planet twice the distance between the Earth and sun can support life. According to bilogical evolution (including aging processes etc.) on that planet similar to ours, what would be the average life span of a 'human' on that planet in terms of its natural life ? The average life span of a human on the Earth may be taken to be `70` years.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`T_(2) = T_(1) ((R_(2))/(R_(1)))^(3//2) = T_(1) ((2R_(1))/(R_(1)))^(3//2) = 2 sqrt(2) T_(1)`
It means `2 sqrt(2)` years of earth are equal to 1 natural year of the imaginary planet.
`:. 1` year of earth `= (1)/(2(sqrt(2))` planet year.
`:.` Age of human `= 70` years of earth `= (70)/(2(sqrt(2))`
`= 24.75` planet years

In an imaginary planetary system, the central star has the same mass as our sun, but is brighter so that only a planet twice the distance between the earth and the sun can support life. Assuming biological evolution (inculuding aging process etc.) on that planet similar to ours, what would be the average life span of a 'human' on that planet in terms of its natural year ? The average life span of a human on the earth may be taken ot be 70 years.
