- According to Lunar Laser Ranging experiment the average distance LM from the Earth to the Moon is approximately 3.92 x 105 km. The Moon orbits the Earth and completes one revolution relative to the stars in approximately 27.5 days (a sidereal month). Calculate the orbital velocity of the Moon in m/s. Answer: Choose...Planet X with a radius of 4.0 Rearth⊕ is found orbiting a star of mass 0.80M⊙ . The eccentricity of its orbit is 0.05, and at its farthest approach to the star, it is 0.63 AU away, while at its closest approach to the star, it is 0.57 AU away. a. How long does it take Planet X to make a complete orbit around its star in years? b.The semi major axis of the planet is changed such that its closest approach to the star is now 2.9 AU. Would the gravitational force exerted by the star on Planet X increase or decrease? By what factor? Would the gravitational force exerted by Planet X on the star increase or decrease? By what factor? c. The mass of the star was increased to 2.4M⊙ . Would the gravitational force exerted by it on Planet X increase or decrease? By what factor? Would the gravitational force exerted by Planet X on the star increase or decrease? By what factor? d. What must the mass of Planet X be in Mearth⊕ such that an astronaut on its surface would have the same weight as…Kepler’s Law relates the period T ( in a sec) of a satellite to the distance from the center of the earth r (in m) to some physical constants as shown: T2 = (2π/ G ME) r3 Where G = Universal Constant of Gravitation and ME is the mass of the earth. A stationary satellite is one that circles the earth in a circular orbit but stays exactly above the same spot on the earth. Calculate the distance above the earth in m for this “geo-synchronous satellite” to orbit, then convert that height to miles.
- 010: A new planet (tentatively named "Melmac") is found in a circular orbit with a period of 571 years. The sun has a mass of 1.9891x1030 kg. How far away is the planet in Astronomical Units (AU) ? Note: An A.U. is 1.496x1011 m.b) An exoplanet orbits a non-rotating, 1.79019x 100 kg star. Analysing through the use of geodesics, determine the time period of the planet to complete one orbit around the G-type star where the eccentricity of the orbit is approximately 0 and the distance between the star and planet is 3.41382 x 10° m.
