SunMoonPlanet XUmbraNot to scaleapproximatelymi. The sun of galaxy X has a diameter of about 796,000 mi with a maximum distance from Planet X'ssurface of about 78,700,000 mi. Planet X's moon has a diameter of 2,731 mi. For a total solar eclipseto occur, the moon must pass between the sun and Planet X. The moon must also be close enough toPlanet X for the moon's umbra (shadow) to reach the surface of Planet X.The maximum distance that the moon can be from Planet X and still have a total solar eclipse occur i(Round to the nearest thousand as needed )

Given: The diameter of the sun=796000 mi Radius rs=7960002=398000 mi The diameter of Moon=2731 mi…

f) Assume that the space station orbits the Earth with uniform circular motion. This means that the magnitude of the acceleration of the space station is given by a = v²/r. In addition, the net force on the space station is equal to m,tation*a (Newton's Second Law, as always), and the force on the space station is F = - G*m,tation*Mearth/r?. Using these equations, we can derive a formula for the speed of the space station as it orbits Earth: Fnet = m*a (towards centre of earth for uniform circular motion) Inserting Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation and the formula for centripetal acceleration, G*mstation *mearth/r² = mstation*Vstation/r, and dividing both sides by mstation and multiplying both sides by r, we get: G*marth/r = v, and finally we arrive at our formula for the speed of the station, Vstation = V(G*mearth/r), ...note that this is meant to be a square root symbol. Use this equation to calculate the approximate speed of the space station given the distance between the…
