In recent years, scientists have discovered hundreds of planets orbiting other stars. Some of these planets are in orbits that are similar to that of earth, which orbits the sun (Msun = 1.99 × 1030 kg) at a distance of 1.50 × 1011 m, called 1 astronomical unit (1 au). Others have extreme orbits that are much different from anything in our solar system. The following problem relates to one of these planets that follows circular orbit around its star....

f) in vacuum, light travels at about 186,282 miles per second. One mile is about 161 kilometers (km). Astronomers prefer to use units of distance that are reasonable in describing how far objects are from Earth. For example, for distances in the solar system we use the astronomical unit (AU), which is equal to the average distance of Earth from the Sun; 1 AU is about 150 million km. For distances to stars and galaxies, astronomers use the light-year (1...

In Lecture 4, we discussed Kepler’s third law relatingthe orbital period of a planet (p) to the semi-major axis (orbital distance, a) of its orbit(p2= a3). We can apply this law as long the object orbits the Sun or another object of the same mass, and the units of orbital period are in (Earth) years and the orbital distance is in Astronomical Units(AU). [1AU is equal to the distance between the Earth and the Sun]. [Note: Newton extended this law...

Question 4 1 pts Planet X has a mass of 5.97 x 1024 kg and it orbits 1.52 x 108 km from a star with a period of 412 days. What is the angular momentum of the planet around its star? Answer in units of kg m²/sec. Due to its large distance from its star, you can treat the planet as a point mass in its circular motion around the star.
