- If a planet has a period of 8 years, what is its average distance from the Sun, in astronomical units? Assume thatthe mass of the planet is small compared to the Sun and thatthe average distance from the Sun is the same as the semimajoraxis. Make sure you express your answer with at least one digitafter the decimal point.Confused on where to start when finding the orbital radius between the two planets. Given : planet mass 9.2 x10^2kg, sun mass 1.4 x10^35kg, and g= 17.3m/s^2A large planet with a mass of 3.4e25 kg has a moon with a mass of 1.5e23 kg. If the moon orbits the a planet at a radius of 4. 1e8 km, what is the magnitude of the gravitational force between the planet and the moon?
- Needs Complete typed solution with 100 % accuracy.According to Lunar Laser Ranging experiments the average distance LM from the Earth to the Moon is approximately 3.85 x 105 km. The Moon orbits the Earth and completes one revolution in approximately 27.5 days (a sidereal month). a) Calculate the orbital velocity of the Moon. b) Calculate mass of the Earth.A planet with mass 9.69x1023 kg orbits a star with mass 9.21x1030 kg. The orbit is circular, and the distance from the planet to the sun is 225x106 km. What is the length of a year on this planet? Give your answer in earth years (1 earth year = 31,557,600 seconds).
- The mean radius of earth from the Sun is 0.67 times the mars mean distancxe of mars from the sun. What is the time (in years) for mars to orbit the sun?Chapter 21 and 22, Problem 2The mean distance of an asteroid from the Sun is 1.74 times that of Earth from the Sun. From Kepler's law of periods, calculate the number of years required for the asteroid to make one revolution around the Sun.
- The International Space Station (ISS) is a space station orbiting the earth above the ground. If the radius of the earth is 3,958.8 miles, mass of earth is 5.972 x 10 24 kg, the period of the ISS at the orbit around the earth is 9.16 hours, can you calculate what is the distance from the ISS to the surface of the earth, in unit of miles? Use G=6.674 x 10 -11 Nm2/kg2. Write your answer in pure numbers, for example, 4567.8. Please keep at least on digit after the decimal point.A new planet is discovered orbiting a distant star. Observations have confirmed that the planet has a circular orbit with a radius of 12 AU and takes 117 days to orbit the star. Determine the mass of the star. State your answer with appropriate mks units. [NOTE: AU ..stands.for...astronomical unit". It is the average distance between Earth & the Sun. 1 AU≈ 1.496 x 1011 m.] Enter a number with units. I be quite large and your calculator will display the answer as a power of 10. If, as an example, your answer was 8.54 x 1056, you would type "8.54e56" into the answer box (remember to state your units with your answer).]An earth-like planet has a mass of 6.00×1024 kg and a radius of 7000 km. A satellite of mass 55 kg is orbiting the planet at a distance of 2000 km above the surface. What is the magnitufe of the gravitational force exerted on the satellite by the planet?
