- A star near the visible edge of a galaxy travels in a uniform circular orbit. It is 48,300 ly (light-years) from the galactic center and has a speed of 275 km/s. Estimate the total mass of the galaxy based on the motion of the star. Gravitational constant is 6.674×10−11 m3/(kg·s2) and mass of the Sun Ms=1.99 × 1030 kg. dont provide hand written solutionA satellite has a mass of 5850 kg and is in a circular orbit 4.10 × 105 m above the surface of a planet. The period of the orbit is 2.00 hours. The radius of the planet is 4.15 × 106 m. (a) Find the mass of the planet,(b) the energy of the orbit, and (c) the escape velocity from this orbit. If the speed of the satellite is increased by 20% what would be the maximum distance above the planet?

- Two newly discovered planets follow circular orbits around a star in a distant part of the galaxy. The orbital speeds of the planets are determined to be 44.6 km/s and 51.6 km/s. The slower planet's orbital period is 8.78 years. (a) What is the mass of the star? (b) What is the orbital period of the faster planet, in years?(a) What is the escape speed on a spherical asteroid whose radius is 274 km and whose gravitational acceleration at the surface is 0.444 m/s2? (b) How far from the surface will a particle go if it leaves the asteroid's surface with a radial speed of 311 m/s? (c) With what speed will an object hit the asteroid if it is dropped from 289.4 km above the surface?Around 2.5 centuries ago, several physicists of the time came up with the notion of a dark star. This was a star so dense, with so much gravity, that not even light could escape. The calculations used Newtonian mechanics. In class, we calculated the escape speed from the surface of the earth or the distance from the sun, and the mass of the planet or star. Here, the process is partially reversed. Calculate the dark star radius from the mass of the star and the escape speed. Answer in kilometers. c = 3*108 m/s M = 3.2*1030 kg G = 2/3 * 10-10 N*m2/kg2
- A satellite in geostationary orbit (also called synchronous orbit) appears to remain stationary in the sky as seen from any particular location on the planet. a.) In the future, there will be need for satellites in synchronous orbit around Mars to aid colonies. At what altitude would such a satellite need to be above the surface of Mars?Assume that the mass of Mars is 6.39 × 10^23 kg, the length of the Martian solar day (i.e., sol) is 24h 39m 35s, the length of the sidereal day is 24h 37m 22s, and the equatorial radius is 3396 km. (Hint: if you haven’t had a physics class before, you can find this by using the fact that the acceleration of an object in circular motion either as v2/r, where v and r are the velocity and radius of the orbit, or as 4Pi 2r/T2 , where T is the period. Use this second equation and Mathematical Insight 4.5 on p. 131 to find r for T=1 day. Make sure to use values for Mars nstead of Earth, as necessary. Alternatively, you can calculate the answer using Newton’s…(a) What is the escape speed on a spherical asteroid whose radius is 803 km and whose gravitational acceleration at the surface is 1.75 m/s2?
