- A mood of a mass m and raduis a is orbiting a planet of mass M and if radius b at a distance d (center to center) in a circular orbit. Derive an expression for the speed of the mood v in terms of M,d and the gravitational constant G.Consider a star of mass M₁ that hosts a planet of mass M₂ on a circular orbit with semi- major axis a. The mass of the planet is related to the orbital velocity of the star by the expression G M₂1 Μια Using Kepler's 3rd law show that this expression can be written as V₁ = 2πG (27²) ¹/3 9 M²P where P is the orbital period of the planet around the star. V₁ = M₂I just need to know what is the Energy Conservation Equation.
- I need help with this hw problem.We would like to be able to make meaningful interpretations of variations in the acceleration due to gravity, g, as small as 0.1 mgal. How accurate must our knowledge of the latitude of our gravity stations be? (A “gravity station" is just a location at which you make a gravity measurement.) You can assume your latitude is 45°.Black holes are difficult to observewith telescopes because they, bydefinition, don’t emit or reflect any light. They can be found by look-ing for other nearby objects orbit-ing them, however. Here is a dia-gram of a star in a circular orbit around a black hole. a. The period of the star’s orbit is 90 days, and its orbital radius around the black hole isobserved to be 3.6 : ×10^11 m. Find the orbital velocity of the star in units of m/s. (You need to convert 90 days to seconds, first). The circumference of a circle is 2πr. b. The mass of the star is known to be 4 × 10^30 kg. Find the centripetal acceleration of thestar and the strength of the gravitational force on the star. c. Find the mass of the black hole.
- 19Plaskett's binary system consists of two stars that revolve in a circular orbit about a center of mass midway between them. This statement implies that the masses of the two stars are equal (see figure below). Assume the orbital speed of each star is V = 210 km/s and the orbital period of each is 11.5 days. Find the mass M of each star. (For comparison, the mass of our Sun is 1.99 x 1030 kg.) solar masses M XCM MThe supermassive black hole at the center or our galaxy (Sagittarius A*) has a mass equal to 4.3 million Suns (the mass of the Sun is 1.99 × 1030 kg). The distance from Sgr A* to Earth is 7,940 parsecs, where one parsec is equal to 3.09 × 1016 m. (a) What is the gravitational force that Sgr A* exerts on a 75 kg person on Earth, in units of Newtons? Hint: use Newton's law of universal gravitation. (b) Suppose the same person is sitting 1.0 meter away from a paperclip with a mass of 1.0 grams. What is the gravitational force that the paperclip exerts on the person? (c) Compare the forces from parts (a) and (b). Which is greater?
