Problem 1:
You are the science officer on a visit to a distant solar system. Prior to landing on a planet you
measure its radius to be 9 x 106 m and its rotation period to be 22.3 hours. You have
previously determined that the planet orbits 2.2 x 10¹¹ m from its star with a period of
402 days (3.473 x 107 sec). Once on the surface you find that the free-fall acceleration is
12.2 m/sec².
a) What is the mass of the planet? Answer: 1.5 x 1025 kg.
b) What is the mass of the star? Answer: 5.2 x 1030 kg.
The "classical" radius of a neutron is about 0.79 fm (1 femtometer = 10-15 m). The mass of a neutron is 1.675×10-27 kg.
what would be the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity in meters per second squared at the surface of a sphere of radius R = 1.2 m with the density 8.11*10^17 in kilograms per cubic meter?
G = 6.67*10^-11 m^3/kg/s^2
The mass of the sun is 2.0 x 1030 kg, and the mass of a hydrogen atom is 1.67 x
10-27 kg. If we assume that the sun is mostly composed of hydrogen, how many
atoms are there in the sun?

You may assume that the mass of theatmosphere does not contribute significantly to the total mass of the star, so that the surfacegravity g = GMr/r2 is constant at all heights in the isothermal atmosphere. Assume an idealgas law P = nkT = (ρ/µmH) kT, where µ is the mean molecular weight and mH is the mass of ahydrogen atom. By solving the equation of hydrostatic equilibrium with these approximations, show that P(r) = P(0) exp ((−gµmH/kT)r) Briefly describe the meaning of the expression kT/gµmH. Some white dwarfs have an atmosphere of mostly hydrogen plasma, whereas others have an atmosphere dominated by helium plasma. For the simple model above, briefly discuss what major difference would be seen between these two cases. You can assume the same temperature and surface gravity for the two cases.arrow_forward
