The tidal force is a differential force: dF/dr, which is the difference between the force at one distance and the force at another. If dr happens to correspond to, say, your height, then the tidal force is the difference in gravity felt by your head and by your feet. This amounts to a stretching force, since one end is pulled harder than the other end. Calculate the tidal force experienced by your body at the surface of a neutron star. Assume that the neutron star has a mass of 1.5 solar masses and a radius of 10 km. Assume that your mass is 100 kg and that your dr (height) is 2 m when standing and 0.5 m when prone.
What is the tidal force when you are standing?
What is the tidal force when you are prone?
Based on the above, what do you recommend for minimizing the tidal force?
A planet (in another galaxy) takes 5 000 Earth days to complete one full revolution around its own star (not the Sun). It is exactly as far away from its star as Earth is to its own Sun. Draw a FBD, then determine how many times more or less massive this star is than our sun (in other words, give a factor of mass, e.g “5x larger” or “5x smaller”)
Explain the tidal hypothesis.

- An exoplanetary system has two known planets. Planet X orbits in 290 days and Planet Y orbits in 145 days. Which planet is closest to its host star? If the star has the same mass as the Sun, what is the semi-major axis of the orbits for Planets X and Y?arrow_forward(Astronomy) Binary Pulsar. Part A: Use the orbital period 27 min for the binary pulsar (two neutron stars orbit each other) to find the orbital separation of the pair in AU and solar radii. Assume a neutron star's mass is 3 solar masses. (Hints: Use the version of Kepler's third law for binary stars.) Part B: Is this system orbiting closer or further than Mercury is to the Sun?arrow_forwardAlthough we say that the Earth orbits the Sun, in reality they are both orbiting the center of mass. It turns out that the equation for the size of the Sun's orbit around the center of mass is to take the full semi-major axis (1 AU) and multiply it by MEarth/(Msun + MEarth), sometimes known as the fulcrum equation. What is the semi-major axis of the Sun's orbit around the center of mass in km?arrow_forward
- 1. Planet A has an orbital period of 12 years and radius that is 0.033 times the radius of the star. Calculate the fractional dip of the star brightness in the case that planet A is transiting. Give the answer as a number. Quote the formula you use and explain any assumptions you have to make. 2. Planet B has an orbital period of 1 year and is located closer to its star than planet A. You succeed in detecting planet B with the radial velocity technique as well! From this measurement you calculate a minimum mass of planet B to be 75% that of the Earth. (a) Since you detect the planet with both transit method and radial velocity method, what do you know about the inclination of the planetary system? (b) Given this inclination, estimate the true mass of planet B (in units of Earth mass). You do not need to do a detailed calculation, just explain the argument. 3. You also measure the radius of planet B to be the same as Earth, one Earth radius. (a) How does the density of planet B compare…arrow_forwardThe diagram below shows the orbit of a star with an exoplanet and the corresponding radial velocity curve for the star. Four locations in the planet's orbit are shown. Questions 5-8 refer to this diagram. 5. For each of the four locations of the planet, mark and label on the star's orbit where the star would be at that time. 6. For each of the four positions of the star, draw arrow to indicate which way the star is moving at that time. 7. For each of the four positions of the star, indicate whether the star's light is redshifted, blueshifted, or not shifted. 8. Mark and label the positions on the radial velocity curve that correspond to the four letters.

What is the displacement if h=5 km? I would appreciate help with c-g :)arrow_forwardA certain binary system consists of two stars that have equal masses and revolve in circular orbits around a fixed point half-way between them. If the orbital velocity of each star is v=186 km/s and the orbital period of each is 11.3 days, calculate the mass M of each star. Give your answer in units of the solar mass, 1.99×1030 kg (e.g. if each planet's mass is 3.98×1030 kg, you would answer "2.00").arrow_forward
- A new mystery planet is detected around our Sun. We measure its position relative to the Sun to be 2 AU at perihelion and 6 AU at aphelion. What is the semimajor axis of this planet's orbit (in AU)? With that information, what is the orbital period of that planet (in years)? If this planet has the same mass as Earth, how does the average force of gravity on the planet by the Sun compare with the average force of gravity on the Earth by the Sun? Please give a numerical ratio of the forces. (Hint: You can take the semimajor axis to represent the average position of the planets) 6:this is all one question with multiples steps.
