7. Planet A and planet B orbit around the same star. Planet A is thre times...
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...
A planet is discovered to orbit around a star in the galaxy Andromeda, with the same orbital diameter as the Earth around our Sun. If that star has 4 times the mass of our Sun, what will the period of revolution of that new planet be, compared to the Earth's orb o One-fourth as much o One-half as much Twice as much A. Four times much The average distance from the Earth to the Sun is defined as one "astronomical...
Two planets orbit in circular orbits around a star have speeds of 5v(planet A) and 2v(planet B). Express your answers in fractional form, simplified as much as possible. What is the ratio of the orbital radii of the planets? rB/rA = ___/___ What is the ratio of their periods? PB/PA = ___/____
Two planets are orbiting around the same star. Planet A has four times the mass of planet B. Planet A is located twice further from the star than planet B. When comparing the force of gravity affecting both planets, what is the value of the following ratio: FG on A FG on B O A) 4 B) 2 C) 1 D) 1/2 O E) 1/4
Satellite A has twice the mass of satellite B, and circles in the same orbit. Compare the two satellite's speeds. The speed of B is twice the speed of A. The speed of Bis half the speed of A. A. The speed of Bis one-fourth the speed of A. The speed of B is equal to the speed of A. The speed of Halley's Comet, while traveling in its elliptical orbit around the Sun, O is constant increases as it...
A satellite of mass m is in a circular orbit of radius R2 around a spherical planet of radius R1 made of a material with density ρ. ( R2 is measured from the center of the planet, not its surface.) Use G for the universal gravitational constant.A) Find the kinetic energy of this satellite, KExpress the satellite's kinetic energy in terms of G, m, π, R1, R2, and ρ.B) Find U, the gravitational potential energy of the satellite. Take the gravitational potential...
