Astronomical observations of our Milky Way galaxy indicate that it has a mass of about 8 ✕ 1011 solar masses. A star orbiting near the galaxy's periphery is 6.0 ✕ 104 light years from its center. What should the orbital period (in y) of that star be?
Kepler’s Law relates the period T ( in a sec) of a satellite to the distance from the center of the earth r (in m) to some physical constants as shown: T2 = (2π/ G ME) r3 Where G = Universal Constant of Gravitation and ME is the mass of the earth. A stationary satellite is one that circles the earth in a circular orbit but stays exactly above the same spot on the earth. Calculate the distance above the earth in m for this “geo-synchronous satellite” to orbit, then convert that height to miles.
Two planets orbit a star in circular orbits, as shown. The mass of the star is 8 * 101 kg. The mass of planet 1 is 8 * 10ª kg. The orbital radius of planet 2 is 2 x 1o1ºm.

Taking the age of Earth to be about 4 ✕ 109 years and assuming its orbital radius of 1.5 ✕ 1011 m has not changed and is circular, calculate the approximate total distance Earth has traveled since its birth (in a frame of reference stationary with respect to the Sun). ..............m Answer and simplify
On planet LV- 426 it is observed that a person’s weight is the same as it is on Earth, but the planet has a radius half that of Earth. Which of the following must be true? -the mass of LV-426 is ¼ that of Earth -the mass of Earth is ¼ that of LV-426 -A rock dropped from 10m would hit the ground faster on Earth -A rock dropped 10m would hit the ground faster on LV-426 Why?
Astronomical observations of our Milky Way galaxy indicate that it has a mass of about 8 x 1011 solar masses. A star orbiting near the galaxy's periphery is 5.6 x 104 light years from its center. (For your calculations, assume that the galaxy's mass is concentrated near its center.) (a) What should the orbital period of that star be? yr (b) If its period is 5.1 x 107 years instead, what is the mass of the galaxy? Such calculations are used to imply the existence of "dark matter" in the universe and have indicated, for example, the existence of very massive black holes at the centers of some galaxies. solar masses
