Textbook Question
Chapter 44, Problem 36P
What would the mass of the Sun have to be if Pluto (the outermost “planet” most of the time) were to have the same orbital speed that Mercury (the innermost planet) has now? Use date from Appendix C, express your answer in terms of the Sun’s current mass Ms, and assume circular orbits.

Can you please help w/ the question in the pic?
This is the data I have so far:
1. Determine the mass M of the massive object at the center of the Milky Way galaxy. Take the distance of one light year to be 9.461x10^15: answer= 4.26*10^37
2.Express your answer in solar masses instead of kilograms, where one solar mass is equal to the mass of the sun, which is 1.99*10^30: answer=2.14*10^7
TIA
This would be all of g. how do you get just the z component of the gravitational field

- Around 2.5 centuries ago, several physicists of the time came up with the notion of a dark star. This was a star so dense, with so much gravity, that not even light could escape. The calculations used Newtonian mechanics. In class, we calculated the escape speed from the surface of the earth or the distance from the sun, and the mass of the planet or star. Here, the process is partially reversed. Calculate the dark star radius from the mass of the star and the escape speed.

- Astronomical observations of our milky way galaxy indicate that it has a mass of about 8x1011 solar masses. A star orbiting near the galaxy's periphery is 5.6x104 light years from its center. a.) What should be the orbital period (in years) of that star be? b.) If its period is 6.4x107 years instead, what is the mass (in solar masses) of the galaxy? Such calculations are used to imply the existence of "dark matter" in the universe and have indicated, for example, the existence of very massive black holes at the center of some galaxies.arrow_forwardsolve the question asap.arrow_forwardIn 2004 astronomers reported the discovery of a large Jupiter-sized planet orbiting very close to the star HD 179949 (hence the term "hot Jupiter").

- Black holes are difficult to observewith telescopes because they, bydefinition, don’t emit or reflect any light. They can be found by look-ing for other nearby objects orbit-ing them, however. Here is a dia-gram of a star in a circular orbit around a black hole. a. The period of the star’s orbit is 90 days, and its orbital radius around the black hole isobserved to be 3.6 : ×10^11 m. Find the orbital velocity of the star in units of m/s. (You need to convert 90 days to seconds, first). The circumference of a circle is 2πr. b. The mass of the star is known to be 4 × 10^30 kg. Find the centripetal acceleration of thestar and the strength of the gravitational force on the star. c.
