Now M is the sum of the two masses in units of the solar mass .e. the mass of our Sun), while a is still in AU and P in years. An important application of Newton's generalization of Kepler's third law is being able to dete mine mass of a central body based on the motion of a satellite around that body. If the satellite is much less massive than the body it's orbiting, then M is essentially equal to...
Today, the Moon’s orbit around Earth has a semi-major axis of a=384,400 km and an orbital period of 27.32166 days. a. The Moon slowly moves outward due to tidal braking of the Earth’s rotation, and at some future date the Moon will have an orbital period of 47 days. Compute the semi-major axis of the Moon’s orbit at this future date (express your answer in kilometers). semi-major axis = 5.5*10^5 km b. Today, the Moon has an angular diameter of...
Pluto's orbit around the Sun is highly elliptical compared to the planets in our Solar System. It has a perihelion distance of 29.7 AU and an aphelion distance of 49.5 AU. a) What is the semi-major axis of Pluto's orbit, in AU? b) What is Pluto's orbital period, in Earth years?
Kepler’s Third Law indicates that the Period (P) of an orbit is related to the semi-major axis (a) of the orbit with: P 2 = ka3 . Kepler noticed that the value of the constant k changes when we observe systems with different central objects. This means that the orbits of all of the planets in the Solar System have the same value for k, but that value is different for the Moon because all of the planets orbit the...

(25 points) A star known as S2 is in orbit around a massive, dark object thought to be a black hole at the center of the Milky Way Galaxy. Based on the spectral type of the star, S2's mass is about 15Mo. The period of the orbit is about 15 years, the eccentricity of the orbit is about 0.9, and the semimajor axis of the orbit is about 1000 AU. Remember that IAU = 1.5 × 1013 cm. In solar...
