The planet Mars has a mass of 6.42x10^23 kg and a radius of 3.38x10^6 m. Determine how much a 50 kg person would weigh on Mars.
In January 2006 astronomers reported the discovery of a planet, comparable in size to the earth, orbiting another star and having a mass about 5.5 times the earth’s mass. It is believed to consist of a mixture of rock and ice, similar to Neptune. If this planet has the same density as Neptune 11.76 g>cm32, what is its radius expressed (a) in kilometers and (b) as a multiple of earth’s radius?
The mean diameters of X and Y, two planets in the same solar system, are 6.5 x 10³ km and 1.2 x 104 km, respectively. The mass of x is 0.21 times the mass of Y. The value of g on Y is 8.1 m/s².
(a) What is the ratio of the mean density of X to that of Y (Px / Py)?
(b) What is the value of g on X?
m/s²
(c) The mass of Y is 4.372 x 1024 kg. What is the escape speed on X?
m/s
