- 6 Why isn't there a planet where the asteroid belt is located? A The temperature in this portion of the solar nebula was just right to prevent rock from sticking together. B C D There was too much rocky material to form a terrestrial planet, but not enough gaseous material to form a jovian planet. There was not enough material in this part of the solar nebula to form a planet. Gravitational tugs from Jupiter prevented material from collecting together to form a planet. E A planet once formed here, but it was broken apart by a catastrophic collision.What is satellites? Name and explain various types of satellites.19 A planet is detected via the Doppler technique. The velocity change of the star is a measure of A The planet's size and density. B C D E The planet's mass and orbital distance. The planet's orbital period and eccentricity. The planet's mass and composition. The planet's size and orbital distance.
- The reason that most moons in our solar system orbit in all sorts of crazy directions is because most moons a. co-formed with their planets b. are the result of major collisions c. have been pulled into these crazy orbits by tidal forces d. are captured asteroids Tidal flexing will occur in a moon whose orbit is a. close to its planet and circular b. far from its planet and circular c. far from its planet and eccentric d. close to its planet and eccentric1. Suppose you have an Oort cloud comet on an orbit with pericenter distance 10,000 AU, and apocenter distance 20,000 AU. a. What are the semi-major axis and eccentricity of the orbit? b. What are the specific energy (energy per unit mass), and specific angular momentum (angular momentum per unit mass) of the comet? c. How fast is the comet moving at apocenter (relative to the Sun)?5. A spherical planet has a mass of 5 X 1024 kg. Its diameter is 10,000 km. First calculate its vol- ume in meters (1 km = 1000 m). Then calculate its density (Mass/Volume) in kg/m³.
