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…
A small asteroid that has a mass of 150 kg is moving at 500 m/s when it is 950 km above the surface of the Moon. The radius of the Moon is 1.737E6 m and the mass of the Moon is 7.350E22 kg.
a.How fast will the meteorite be traveling when it impacts the lunar surface if it is heading straight toward the center of the moon?
