Let a satellite orbits a planet of mass M at circular orbit of radius R. Find the orbital period T. Express your answer in terms of G, M, R, and π If the mass of the planet is 5.98 x 1024 kg, calculate the ratio of T2 to R3.
A satellite of mass m is in a circular orbit of radius r about a planet of mass M. The period of the satellite's orbit is T. A second satellite of mass 2m is in a circular orbit of radius 2r around the same planet. The period of orbit for the second satellite is 2T 8T O2T OT O 4T
46. A certain planet is in circular orbit about a star. The radius of the orbit is 9.20x10 kilometers. The planet requires 8.76x10' hours to complete one orbit. Calculate the centripetal acceleration of the planet in units of m/s
An asteroid of mass m is in a perfectly circular orbit of radius d about a planet of mass M. You may assume that M>>m so that M is completely stationary. a. Determine an expression for the orbital period of the asteroid. (I already completed this step. Answer is T=2pi(r^3/2)/sqrt(GM) b. The asteroid is suddenly stopped in its tracks and allowed to fall freely towards the planet. Determine the time it takes to collide with the planet (assumed to have...
planet X is observed (mass-M kg) to execute a circular orbit around celestial object YY. If the length of one planet-X year is 180 Earth-days, and it takes 20 light-seconds for light (velocity of light=3x108 m/s) to travel from YY to planet X, what is the mass of celestial object YY? How do your numbers change if a) the mass of X is doubled, compared to what you just calculated? b) at the original radius, the length of one planet-X...
A certain ideal gas has atomic mass number 622. A flask of volume 0.0277 m 3 holds this gas under pressure 9.88x105 Pa and temperature 815 K. How many molecules are in the flask? Give your answer is scientific notation. A moon is in circular orbit about the planet Gort. The radius of orbit is 9.21x108 m, and each orbit takes 1.69x106 seconds Find M, the mass of Gort, in kg. Enter your answer in scientific notation.
You are exploring a distant planet. When your spaceship is in a circular orbit at a distance of 630 km above the planet's surface, the ship's orbital speed is 5200 m/s. By observing the planet, you determine its radius to be 4.48×106m. You then land on the surface and, at a place where the ground is level, launch a small projectile with initial speed 11.6 m/s at an angle of 30.8∘ above the horizontal. a)If resistance due to the planet's...
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.
A 16 kg satellite has a circular orbit with a period of 2.6 h and a radius of 9.4 × 106 m around a planet of unknown mass. If the magnitude of the gravitational acceleration on the surface of the planet is 7.7 m/s2, what is the radius of the planet?
Acceleration due to gravity on board of your spaceship that orbits Jupiter is 25.89 m/s. How high is your spaceship above Jupiter's cloud tops? Express your answer in kilometers and round it to the nearest integer. M Jupiter = 1.90 x 104 kg; R Jupiter = 69,911 km. Your cosmic journey brought you into the vicinity of a neutron star. In fact, you are orbiting this neutron star at an orbital distance of 22.424 kilometers. The neutron star has mass...
