A number of gas giant planets orbiting other stars at distances less than 1 A.U. have been discovered. Because of their proximity to their parent stars, and their compositional similarity to Jupiter, they have been labeled “Hot Jupiters”. The orbital radius of one of these planets is 0.06 A.U. with average orbital speed 600 km/sec. What is the length of this planet’s year in Earth (solar) days? Estimate the mass, M, of its parent star in terms of the mass of the sun (M) using Newton’s first form of Kepler’s 3rd Law. Calculate the star’s luminosity, L, in terms of the luminosity of the sun (L☉), Note: (LL=MM4where L ~ 4 × 1026 W ). The radius of this planet is 1.5 times the radius of Jupiter. Assuming its equilibrium temperature is the temperature at which the planet radiates as much energy as it receives from its star, estimate the temperature of the planet. The value of the planet’s albedo is 0.8. (NOTE: The intensity of the star’s radiant power at a distance d from the star is…
r r M M 1. What is the gravitational potential energy of the mass (m) in the picture? The mass is the same distance away r from the centers of both of the other masses, and both of the other masses have the same mass, M. Give your answer in Joules. r = 400 million meters m = 7x1022 kg м- 2х1027 kg 2. What is the net gravitational force for the mass m at this location? Give your answer in Newtons.

Every few months, memes circulate claiming that certain alignments of the planets with the Earth will result in a change in the gravitational force you feel. Usually, these memes state that the alignment will counteract Earth's gravity slightly so you will feel less of a gravitational pull towards the Earth. Can this ever happen? Let's look at the numbers. What is the gravitational force (in N) of the Earth on you (ME = 5.97 ✕ 1024 kg, RE = 6380 km)? Say your mass is 68 kg. (Enter the magnitude.) What is the gravitational force (in N) of Jupiter on you when it is closest to Earth (MJ = 1.90 ✕ 1027 kg, RJE = 5.88 ✕ 108 km)? (Enter the magnitude.) By what factor would the mass of Jupiter need to increase to be equal to the gravitational force you feel from the Earth? Part 1 of 5 The gravitational force between two masses is given by Fg = −GMm r2 where G = 6.67 ✕ 10−11 m3/s2/kg. We can use this expression to determine the magnitude of the gravitational force you feel…
