The orbital speed of a planet about its star is 3.1
a) What is the magnitude of the force exerted by the star on the planet will be equal to centripetal force or m*v^2/r (m is mass of planet )
or (6*1024*9.61*108)/(1.6*1011) N or 36.0375 * 1021 N
B) What is the mass of the star?
now centripetal force must be equal to gravitational pull of the sun
or m1v^2/r = G*m1*m2/r^2 (m1 is mass of planet , m2 is mass of sun)
or m2 = v^2 *r /G
or m2 = (3.1*104)2*(1.6*1011)/6.67384

An extrasolar planet orbits a distant star. if the planet moves at an orbital speed kf 2.15 x 10 ^7 m/s and it has an orbital radius of 4.32 x 10 ^ 12 metters about its stars, what is the star's mass, in kilograms? Express your result using three sig figs b.) Describe the free bory diagram of a block on a table with an additional external force pushing downwards in it.
Suppose that you have a planet in a circular orbit about a star with the mass of the Sun. The orbital speed is 141 km/s. If you could increase the planet’s speed, what speed would you need to make it to escape the gravitational pull of its parent star?
Question 4 4 pts Consider a single planet orbiting a star. The orbital speed of the planet ALWAYS decreases the further away from the star the planet orbits. True False Question 5 4 pts Consider a collision between two particles A and B where all masses and initial velocities are known. The final velocities can be found for COMPLETELY INELASTIC collisions in 1D, 2D and 3D systems with NO additional information True CFalse
Problem 1 Planetary Orbits Consider the two-body problem for a planet-star system. The planet, of mass m, is initially in a circular orbit of radius r and angular speed w about the star, of mass M. (i) What is the gravitational potential energy of the system, U? What is the kinetic energy of the planet, K? What is the total energy of the system, E = K +U? (ii) The star suddenly loses half of its mass, M + M/2....
A satellite having orbital speed Vorbits a planet of mass M. If the planet had same but double its average mass density, the orbital speed of the satellite at the same distance from the center would be OV. V/2. OVE. O 2V. Ow2.
Which of the statements are correct about a planet revolving around a star? A. If the mass of the star increases to four times what it was, the period of the planet revolving around the star will reduce to half of what it was B.If the mass of the planet doubles, its period revolving around the star will become half of its original C.If the mass of the star doubles, the period of the planet revolving around the star will...
In a newly discovered exoplanetary system one planet orbits its star in 56 days with an average orbital radius of 107,588,122 kilometers. It is observed that another planet in the same system has orbital period of 373 days. What is its average orbital radius of the second planet? Express your answer in kilometers, use scientific notation and round the coefficient to two decimals. In a newly discovered exoplanetary system one planet orbits its star in 57 days with an average...
points A newly discovered planet is in a circular orbit around a distant star with an orbital period of 400 Earth days. The planet also rotates on its axis, making one full rotation every 4.00 Earth days. The radius of the planet is rp = 7.00 × 106 m and the radius of the planet's orbit about the star is r 7.00×1011 m. My Notes Ask Your Tea Determine the ratio of the radial acceleration, due to the rotation of...
