- We sent a probe out to orbit the planet Kerbal at a distance of 5.5x107m from the middle of the planet. It took our probe 3.5x105s to orbit the planet. Calculate the mass of planet Kerbal. Possible Formulas that can be used to answer the question: v=(2πr)/T ac=v2/r ac=(4π2r)/T2 Fc=mac Fg=mg F=(Gm1m2)/d2 g=Gm/r2 T2=(4π2/Gm)r3 v=√(Gm)/r g=9.80m/s2 G=6.67x10-11 (N∙m2)/kg2A satellite is orbiting the earth in low orbit (160 km above the surface of the earth). If the universal gravitational constant is 6.67 x 10^-11 m^3/kg x s^2 the mass of the earth is 5.972 x 10^24 kg and the radius of the earth is 6371 km, what speed must the satellite travel in order to maintain the low earth orbit?The 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?
