An asteroid is in an orbit around the sun whose closest point to the sun has a radius R and whose most distant point has a radius 9R, where R is equal to the radius of the earth's orbit = 1 AU = 1.5 x 10^11 m. 1. What is the asteroid's speed when it is closest to the sun? 2. How does this compare with the earth's orbital speed? 3. What is the period of this orbit, in years?

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...

Express your answer in meters per second squared. Part C What is the magnitude of the orbital velocity of the...
The earth moves around the sun in a nearly circular orbit of radius 1.50 1011 m. During the three summer months (an elapsed time of 7.89 106 s), the earth moves one-fourth of the distance around the sun. (a) What is the average speed of the earth? (b) What is the magnitude of the average velocity of the earth during this period?
planet X travels in a circular motion orbit around the Sun. The radius of Planet X is twice that of Earth. The year on Planet X is 540 Earth years. The mass of Planet X is half that of Earth. The mass of the sun is 1.99*10^30 kg. The Earth's orbital distance from the Sun is 1.50*10^11 m.
The radius of the earth's very nearly circular orbit around the sun is 1.50×1011 m. Find the magnitude of the earth's centripetal acceleration as it travels around the sun. Assume a year of 365 days. Express your answer to three significant figures and with appropriate units.
An asteroid, whose mass is 2.50×10-4 times the mass of Earth, revolves in a circular orbit around the Sun at a distance that is 2 times the Earth's distance from the Sun. Calculate the period of revolution of the asteroid. Tries 0/10 What is the ratio of the kinetic energy of the asteroid to the kinetic energy of Earth?
