A planet has 1/9 the earth's mass and half its radius. It orbits a star with six times the sun's mass with an orbital period of 48 years.
Suppose aliens from this planet crash their spaceship in New Mexico. If the spaceship weighs 1200 Zorgs on their planet, then what is the weight in New Mexico, in Zorgs?
I got 533.3 Zorgs but it was incorrect.
How to solve part 2 of this question? I have an answer of 1.97E22 for part A but I am having trouble with part B.
A. The Earth has a mass of 5.97 * 1024 kg and the Moon has a mass of 7.35 * 1022 kg. If they are separated by a distance of 3.85 * 105 km, what is the force (in N) between the Earth and the Moon? (Enter your answer in scientific notation: 1.23E12 means 1.23 * 1012)
B. Repeat the previous problem using centripetal forces. Assume the Moon travels in a perfect circle around the Earth, with masses and distances given above, and takes 27.32 days to complete a complete circle. What is the centripetal force (in N) acting on the Moon? (Think about why and by how much the answers to these two questions differ.)
