On February 20, 1962, John Glenn made the first U.S.-manned flight around the Earth for three orbits on Friendship 7. With Earth at one focus, the orbit of Friendship 7 is given approximately by r =4090.76/(1 - 0.0076 cos θ),where r is measured in miles from Earth’s center. Use the formula and the figure shown to solve:How far from Earth’s center was John Glenn at his closest distance from the planet? Round to the nearest mile. If the radius of Earth is 3960 miles, how far was he from Earth’s surface at this point on the flight?

- When the Earth passes directly between the Sun and Mars, the Earth and Mars are closest to each other. If Mars is 1.52 AU from the Sun and there are 1.5 x 108 km in 1 AU, how many times will the width of the U.S. (2,530 miles) fit end-to-end between Mars and Earth? Planets and Sun not drawn to scale. Mars Earth Sun Part 1 of 4 Mars is 1.52 AU from the Sun. How many times further away from the Sun is Mars than the Earth? (The distances in AU are relative to the distance between the Sun and the Earth, so however many AU a planet is away from the Sun is how many times farther it is from Sun than Earth.) 1.52✔ 1.52 times further awayA satellite in orbit around the earth is at an altitude of 107 percent of the earth's radius. Rounding off our old friend "g" to ten meters per second squared, what is the acceleration due to earth's gravity at the satellite? Your answer should be in meters per second squared, but do not put the unit, just the number.What is the radius of the sun if the mass is 7.4*10^22 kg and the gravitational acceleration is 280m/s/s? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth and use scientific notation
- Thank you for the explanation, but this didn't answer my question. I need to know the angles for qeustion 2, 3, and 4. With explanations on how to get them.Earth's orbit is (on average) 1 Astronomical Unit from the Sun. For reference, 1 Astronomical Unit is about 93 million miles. Jupiter's orbit is about 5 Astronomical Units from the Sun. Suppose that the gravitational force between the Earth and the Sun is equal to 50,000 N (it's way more than that but we are just pretending here). If we move Earth to Jupiter's orbit, what will be the new value of the gravitational force between the Earth and the Sun? Remember to include units of force (Newtons or N) in your answer.The Sun occupies an angle of approximately 0.5 degrees to us on Earth, at a distance of 150 million kilometers from the Sun. Given this information, calculate the Sun's radius.
- Let's assume that the planet was originally orbiting around something with the mass of our Sun (and thus the mass of the planet is negligible). Now we will examine the case where the planet orbits a star with 8 times the mass of our Sun, but we will say that the dates listed in the diagram above are still accurate for indicating the planet's position as it orbits the new star. What is ratio of the size of the semimajor axis of the planet in this case compared to the original (aka how many times larger {ratio greater than 1} or smaller {ratio less than 1} is the new semimajor axis than the old one)?Kepler's 1st law says that our Solar System's planets orbit in ellipses around the Sun where the closest distance to the Sun is called perihelion. Suppose I tell you that there is a planet with a perihelion distance of 2 AU and a semi-major axis of 1.5 AU. Does this make physical sense? Explain why or why not.Kepler's 3rd law is given as p2 = a3. If the orbital period of a space telescope at the second Sun-Earth Lagrange point (L2) is 1 year, is its orbit a violation of Kepler's 3rd law?
- On February 28, 2010, Earth was equidistant from the spacecraft Dawn and the Sun, forming an isosceles triangle. The distance from Earth to Dawn and Earth to the Sun was 0.99 AU (astronomical units). The distance from Dawn to the Sun was 1.84 AU. a) Draw a diagram to show Dawn, Earth, and the Sun. b) Determine the angle between the sight lines from Earth to Dawn and the Sun.Many people mistakenly believe that the astronauts who orbit Earth are "above gravity." Earth's mass is 6×1024kg, and its radius is 6.38×106m(6380 kmkm). Use the inverse-square law to find a height above Earth's surface at that the force of gravity on a shuttle is about 96 %% that at Earth's surface.What is the force of gravity between two keen physics students who are (3.30x10^0) m apart if one physics student has a mass of (1.250x10^2) kg and the other has a mass of (8.6x10^1) kg ?
