Question 6 (8 points) A spherical planet has 12 times the earth's mass and has three times the earth's radius. It orbits a star with 5 times the sun's mass with an orbital period of 7 years. What is the orbital radius of this planet in AU, where 1 AU is the earth-sun distance
Planet X has 20 times the mass of the earth and 3 times the earth's radius. It orbits star Y at a distance of 8 AU, where 1 AU is the earth-sun distance. Star Y has twice the mass of our sun. (a) What is the orbital period of Planet X in years? (b) An astronaut has an earth weight of 120 lbs. What is her weight on the surface of planet X?
A spherically symmetric planet has 2 times the Earth's mass and twice its radius. If a jar of peanut butter weighs 12N on the Earth, how much would it weigh on the surface of this planet? depends if it's Skippy creamy or super-chunky peanut butter.
A planet with twice the mass of the Earth orbits a star that is 2/3 the mass of the Sun. The orbital radius of the planet around the star is 4.5X10^12m. What is the orbital period of the planet?
2. What is the escape speed from m? a planet of mass M and radius R if M-3.2x 1023 kg and R 2.4 x 100 3. Two satellites are placed in geosynchronous orbits, orbits with a period of 24 hours, where each satellite hovers over a spot on the Earth's equator. Satellite B has three times the mass of satellite A. Wh is the relationship between the magnitudes of the gravitational forces FA and FB of the Earth on the...
Suppose that Planet X has 5 times the radius of the Earth and and 16 times Earth's mass. What is the ratio of the escape velocity on Planet X divided by the escape velocity on Earth?
an extrasolar planet orbits a distant star if a planet moves at an orbital speed of 2.15 x10^-7 m/s and it has an orbital radius of 4.32 x10^12 meters about its star , what is mass in kilograms?
The radius of a planet is three times that of Earth and its mass is nine times that of Esrth. The acceleration due to gravity on this planet is
Astronomers discover an exoplanet (a planet of a star other than the Sun) that has an orbital period of 3.97 Earth years in its circular orbit around its sun, which is a star with a measured mass of 3.41 times 10^30 kg. Find the radius of the exoplanet's orbit. _____ m
A planet has a gravitational acceleration on its surface of 0.5 times Earth's gravitational acceleration on its surface. The planet's radius is two times Earth's radius. What is the mass of the planet, in terms of Earth masses, ME? Hint: Write equations for the gravitational acceleration on the surface of the planet and on Earth's surface in terms of their respective masses and radii. Then write the relationships between Earth's and the planet's gravitational accelerations, and between the Earth's and...
