- A ferry transports tourists between three islands. From the port, to get to the first island, it sails 10 km straight east and then 30 km straight south. It then sails from the first island to second island in a direction of 15 km, 30° south of west. How far is the second island from the port? How far and in what direction should the fairy sails to get to the third island from the second island? (Note: the third island is 24 km, 57.2° south of west from the port.The International Space Station (ISS) orbits the Earth once every 7.2 hours. If the radius of the Earth is 3,958.8 miles and the mass of earth is 5.972 x 10 kg, calculate the altitude of the ISS above the surface of the Earth, in miles. Use G=6.674 x 10 11 Nm2/kg?. Write your answer in pure numbers, for example, 4567.8. Keep at least on digit after the decimal point. 24What is the difference (in N) in the weight of a 58.0 kg cougar as measured in a location where g1 = 9.8095 meters per second squared, and a location where g2 = 9.7808 meters per second squared?
- Please give me correct answer and square the answer.In terms of Kepler’s 2nd law, what is the significance of these areas?A 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.
- 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.How many orders of magnitude do you need to grow in spatial scale (size) to form a planet? Let's take the extreme ends of this scale, from a dust particle of radius a = 10-6m to the gas giant Jupiter (you can round up its radius to the nearest ten to keep it simple). What else has this difference in order of magnitude? Maybe pick something that's not a length scale. Be creative!
- 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 Third Law means that all orbits with the same semi-major axis have the same period. How can it take the same amount of time to travel each of these paths when the lengths of the paths are so different?
