If a comet has a perihelion of 1.2 AU and an aphelion of 4.9 AU, what...
If a comet has a perihelion of 0.80 AU and an aphelion of 9.1 AU, what is the semi-major axis of the comet's orbit? Express the answer using two significant figures. axis: What is the period of the comet's orbit around the Sun? period: years
A)Some comets are in highly elongated orbits that come very close to the sun at perihelion. The distance from one such comet to the center of the sun is 6.00×10^9m at perihelion and 3.00×10^12m at aphelion. For this comet's orbit, find the semi-major axis. B) In 2017 astronomers discovered a planet orbiting the star HATS-43. The orbit of the planet around HATS-43 has semi-major axis 7.41×109m, eccentricity 0.173, and period 4.39 days. Find the distance between HATS-43 and the planet...
The orbit of a 1.5 ✕ 1010 kg comet around the Sun is elliptical, with an aphelion distance of 33.0 AU and perihelion distance of 0.850 AU. (Note: 1 AU = one astronomical unit = the average distance from the Sun to the Earth = 1.496 ✕ 1011 m.) (a)What is its orbital eccentricity? (b)What is its period? (Enter your answer in yr.) (c)At aphelion what is the potential energy (in J) of the comet—Sun system?
9. A comet has a period of 76.3 years and moves in elliptical orbit in which its perihelion (closest approach to the Sun) is 0.610 AU (Astronomical Units). Find (a) the semi-major axis of the comet and (b) an estimate of the comet's maximum distance from the Sun, both in astronomical units
Halley’s Comet has a perihelion distance of 0.6 AU and an orbital period of 76 years. What is its aphelion distance from the Sun

A comet has a period of 72.3 years and moves in an elliptical orbit in which its perihelion (closest approach to the Sun) is 0.650 AU. Find the semimajor axis of the comet and an estimate of the comet's maximum distance from the Sun, both in astronomical units. (a.) the semimajor axis of the comet (in AU). (b.) an estimate of the comet's maximum distance (in AU) from the Sun.
Your Own Comet The night before your birthday in 2007 you set up your telescope on a nearby moun- taintop. It was a clear night, and you had a stroke of luck: A 12:30 A.M. you spotted a new comet. After repeating the observation on successive nights, you were able to calculate its solar system coordinates po-: (xo, yo, zo) and its velocity vector Vo-(xyo o) on that first night. Using this information, determine the following e the comet's perihelion...
A comet in orbit around the sun has an orbital eccentricity 0.4 and semi-major axis 6 AU. What is the comet's furthest distance from the Sun in AU?
(1) Halley's Comet and Kepler's Laws: Halley's Comet orbits the Sun every 76.0 years. Its elliptical orbit has an eccentricity of 0.97. Using that information and the Kepler material in Math Insight Box 3.2 (p.70) and Figures 3.16, 3.17 and 3.18: 40 points total] (a) Find the comet's average distance from the Sun (semimajor axis, a) (b) Find its closest and furthest distances from the Sun: the Perihelion & Aphelion distances.
