A comet orbits the Sun in 4,063 years. What is its average orbital distance from the Sun? Express your answer in AU (enter "AU" for units) and round it to the nearest integer А. An asteroid orbits the Sun at an average orbital distance of 3.12 AU. What is its average orbital period? Express your answer in years (enter "years" for units) and round it to two decimals. В. A moon orbits a planet in 1.5 days. What is the...
6. Given that the distance to the Moon is 384000 km, and taking the Moon’s orbit around Earth to be circular, estimate the speed (in kilometers per second) at which the Moon orbits the Earth. 7. The baseline in Figure 0.19 in the textbook is 100 m and the angle at B is 60 degrees. Using the tangent function, calculate the distance from A to the tree Ch. 1 Discussion Questions 2. The benefit of our current knowledge lets us...
Earth's orbital velocity is about 29 km/s and that maintains its nearly circular orbit. Suppose we had a spacecraft following Earth in its orbit, and we applied a rocket to speed it to 35 km/s. Assume the thrust is entirely in the plane of the orbit, so the spacecraft stays in the same plane as Earth's orbit. What happens?
An undiscovered planet, many light-years from Earth, has one moon, which has a nearly circular periodic orbit. If the distance from the center of the moon to the surface of the planet is 2.015 ~ 10 km and the planet has a radius of 3475 km and a mass of 4.00 x 1022 kg, how long (in days) does it take the moon to make one revolution around the planet? The gravitational constant is 6.67 x 10-11N.m²/kg?. T = days

An undiscovered planet, many light-years from Earth, has one moon which has a nearly circular periodic orbit. If the distance from the center of the moon to the surface of the planet is 2.00000 × 105 km and the planet has a radius of 3225 km and a mass of 6.85 × 1022 kg, how long (in days) does it take the moon to make one revolution around the planet. The gravitational constant is 6.67 × 10-11 N·m2/kg2.
An asteroid is discovered in a nearly circular orbit around the Sun, with an orbital radius that is 2.49 times Earth's. What is the asteroid's orbital period T, its "year," in terms of Earth years? ears
