Case #3: What is the gravitational acceleration due to the Sun at a distance of 40...
Pluto's orbit around the Sun is highly elliptical compared to the planets in our Solar System. It has a perihelion distance of 29.7 AU and an aphelion distance of 49.5 AU. a) What is the semi-major axis of Pluto's orbit, in AU? b) What is Pluto's orbital period, in Earth years?
What is the value of the gravitational acceleration at the surface of the Sun relative to that here on Earth? a. 0.04 b. 28 c. 0.35 d. 274
6. What is the gravitational force between the Sun and Mercury? (5pts) Mass of sun 1.99x10. kg and the mass of Mercury is 3.30 x 10” and the distance between the two is 5.8 x 10 km. 7. What is the force due to Gravity on Mercury? Radius 2440 km (Spts) 8. If a ball is thrown up ward at 10 m/s on Mercury. What is the maximum height that the ball will teach245pts)
A The Earth exerts a gravitational pull of 2.0 ×1020 N on the Moon; the Sun exerts a gravitational pull of 4.3 ×1020 N on the Moon.What is the net force on the Moon when the angular separation between the Earth and the Sun is 90 as seen from the Moon? B : A gun on the shore (at sea level) fires a shot at a ship which is heading directly toward the gun at a speed of 40 km/h....
Suppose that Earth were moved to a distance of 2 AU from the Sun. How much stronger or weaker would the Sun's gravitational pull be on the Earth? Explain.
An object takes 29.5 years to orbit the Sun. What is its average distance from the Sun? a. 29.5 AU b. 14.75 AU c. 9.55 AU
A comet orbits the Sun every 8.67 years and reaches its closest distance to the Sun at 0.68 AU in its orbit. What would its aphelion be? Round your answer to 3 decimal places in normal decimal format in units of AU.
calculate the gravitational effect on mars due to the sun and jupiter. Please show full working.
A comet moves about the Sun in an elliptical orbit, with its closest approach to the Sun being about 0.620 AU and its greatest distance from the sun being 35.5 AU (1 AU = the Earth-Sun distance). If the comet's speed at closest approach is 54.0 km/s, what is its speed when it is farthest from the Sun? (The gravitational force exerted by the Sun on the comet is parallel to the moment arm, so exerts no torque. Therefore, angular...
A comet orbits the Sun with a period of 67.41 years. The comet’s distance of closest approach to the Sun (perihelion) is 1.239 AU. What is the maximum distance of the comet from the Sun (aphelion)? Give your answer in AU.
