Please answer the question and subquestions completely! This is one whole question which has subquestions! According to the official Bartleby guidelines, each question can have up to two subquestions! Thank you! 1) A missile is launched upward with a speed that is half the escape speed. What height (in radii of Earth) will it reach? R/4 R/3 R/2 R 2R A) The weight of a 0.60 kg object at the surface of Planet V is 20 N. The radius of the planet is 4 x 10 6 m. Find the gravitational acceleration at a distance of 2 x 10 6 m from the surface of this planet. 8.9 m/s2 11 m/s2 13 m/s2 18 m/s2 B) Two masses are precisely 1 m apart from each other. The gravitational force each exerts on the other is exactly 1 N. If the masses are identical, what is each mass? 1.22 x 105 kg 1.34 x 1010 kg 2.50 x 105 kg 1.58 x 1010 kg
At its closest approach to Earth, Mars is 57.50 million kilometers away. How long (in minutes) would a radio signal sent from a future manned mission to Mars take to travel to Earth? (distance = speed x time) [55]
When the Earth passes directly between the Sun and Mars, the Earth and Mars are closest to each other. If Mars is 1.52 AU from the Sun and there are 1.5 x 108 km in 1 AU, how many times will the width of the U.S. (2,530 miles) fit end-to-end between Mars and Earth? Planets and Sun not drawn to scale. Mars Earth Sun Part 1 of 4 Mars is 1.52 AU from the Sun. How many times further away from the Sun is Mars than the Earth? (The distances in AU are relative to the distance between the Sun and the Earth, so however many AU a planet is away from the Sun is how many times farther it is from Sun than Earth.) 1.52✔ 1.52 times further away
19. According to Isaac Newton, the value of the constant, k, in Kepler's Third Law (P2 = ka3) is dependent on which one of the following quantities for objects within the Solar System? a. The distance between the Sun and its planet. b. The mass of the planet. c. The electric charge of the Sun. d. The mass of the Sun.
6. A synchronous orbit is an orbit about a planet's equator that always remains above the same spot of the planet because the synchronous orbit matches the planet's rotational period. The pilot of the Mars spacecraft (which was named Cheetah 1 and had a 9556 kg mass) asked Tarzan to calculate the altitude of a synchronous orbit so they could remain over a particular geological feature on the Martian equator. Calculate the altitude above the Martian equator using the data above and Johannes Kepler's genius.
2. a. Consider two planets orbiting a distant star. Planet A is further from the star. A is orbiting at a speed of 14625 m/s and has an orbital period of 12.45 years. What is the radius of A's orbit?

Kepler's 1st law says that our Solar System's planets orbit in ellipses around the Sun where the closest distance to the Sun is called perihelion. Suppose I tell you that there is a planet with a perihelion distance of 2 AU and a semi-major axis of 1.5 AU. Does this make physical sense? Explain why or why not.
