- Astronomers discover an exoplanet, a planet orbiting a star other than the Sun, that has an orbital period of 3.87 Earth years in a circular orbit around its star, which has a measured mass of 3.77×10^30 kg. Find the radius r of the exoplanet's orbit.The orbit of the planet Venus is nearly circular with an orbital velocity of 126.5x103 km/h. Knowing that the mean distance from the center of the sun to the center of Venus is 108.5?1021 km and that the radius of the sun is 695.5x103 km, determine (a) the mass of the sun, (b) the acceleration of gravity at the surface of the sun.A satellite has a mass of 6398 kg and is in a circular orbit 4.41 × 105 m above the surface of a planet. The period of the orbit is 1.5 hours. The radius of the planet is 4.58 × 106 m. What would be the true weight of the satellite if it were at rest on the planet’s surface?
