Jaclyn and Vanessa also join NASA to avoid CoVid. But instead of spending the year in space playing Call of Duty, like Philopater, they volunteer to go to Mars. Which will be an experience no one else has on their med school application, and they can study for the MCAT on the way. After traveling 6 months, and working through all the problems in uworld, they finally reach Mars and must put their spacecraft in a circular orbit 3,000 m above the planet's surface. What speed do Jaclyn and Vanessa need to give their spacecraft to do this? O3,550 m/s O6,230 m/s O 1.370 m/s

You are a rover pilot on the crew of the initial exploration team sent to Kepler 22b,the first extrasolar planet discovered within the habitable zone of a sun-like star. Thescience team recently discovered liquid water on the surface. (Hurrah!) Your rover isat point A on the shore of a circular lake with radius 4 km collecting samples. Thescience team wants to send your rover to a point C diametrically opposite A. Therover can drive around the circumference of the lake at a rate of 4 km per hour andfly over the lake at a rate of 3 km per hour.(a) How long will it take the rover to fly across the lake?(b) How long will it take the rover to drive around the shore of the lake?You could also fly at an angle θ along a chord inside the circular lake, andcomplete the rest of the path driving along the circumference of the lake.(c) Find the length of the chord in terms of θ.

You are an astronaut who travels to the other side of the galaxy to visit planet bartleby. You want to find the planet's mass so that it matches the numbers that you already have about the planet's two moons.
Since 1995, hundreds of extrasolar planets have been discovered. There is the exciting possibility that there is life on one or more of these planets. To support life similar to that on the Earth, the planet must have liquid water. For an Earth-like planet orbiting a star like the Sun, this requirement means that the planet must be within a habitable zone of 0.9 AU to 1.4 AU from the star. The semimajor axis of an extrasolar planet is inferred from its period. What range in periods corresponds to the habitable zone for an Earth-like Planet orbiting a Sun-like star?
Suppose astronomers found evidence of an earth-like planet 20 lightyears away. a) what may be two ethical considerations that one may consider when deciding if humans should travel to this planet? b) how fast would a spaceship need to travel if the roundtrip can no take longer than 40 years for the astronauts? c) how much time will the trip take according to the people on earth?
In a distant star system there are many inhabitable planets. One of these planets is named Qomar. Qomar is 3.2 AU's from its star and takes 6.5 Earth years to go around its star once. There is another planet in the same star system called Ferenginar. Ferenginar is 0.9 AUs from the star. What is the length of a Ferengi year (on Ferenginar) in terms of Earth years?
Neptune orbits the Sun with an orbital radius of 4.495 x 10^12 m.

(Round to the nearest thousandth). C) Convert the period in part b) to years (Round to the nearest tenth)
