Venus has a period of revolution of 225 Earth days. Find the distance between the Sun and Venus as a multiple of Earth’s average distance from the Sun. Enter the distance between the Sun and Venus (expressed as a multiple of the Earth's average distance from the Sun) with three significant figures.
1. If an astroid is 4 AU from the sun, what is the period of revolution around the sun for the asteroid? 2. An 86 kg basketball player has a height of 6 feet 8 inches and runs at 15 miles per hour. Express his height in centimeters and micrometers, his mass in pounds, and his speed in m/s.
The average distance from the Earth to the Sun is defined as one "astronomical unit" (AU). An asteroid orbits the Sun in one-third of a year. What is the asteroids average distance from the Sun? 0.19 AU 0.43 AU o 21 AU 5.2 AU Many comets orbit the Sun in highly elliptical orbits. What happens over time to the comet's angular momentum? It continually increases. It continually decreases. It remains constant It increases during some parts of the orbit and...
Problem S The intensity of Sun light on Earth is 1370 W/m. The distance from Mars to the Sun is 15 times larger than the distance from Earth to the Sun If the distance from Mars to the Sun is 1.5 times larger than the distance from Earth to the Sun. What is the intensity of Sun light on Mars? a) ce from Earth to the Sun is 1.5 x 10 m. What is the power output of the Sun?
Planet X has 20 times the mass of the earth and 3 times the earth's radius. It orbits star Y at a distance of 8 AU, where 1 AU is the earth-sun distance. Star Y has twice the mass of our sun. (a) What is the orbital period of Planet X in years? (b) An astronaut has an earth weight of 120 lbs. What is her weight on the surface of planet X?
The orbit of a 1.5 ✕ 1010 kg comet around the Sun is elliptical, with an aphelion distance of 33.0 AU and perihelion distance of 0.850 AU. (Note: 1 AU = one astronomical unit = the average distance from the Sun to the Earth = 1.496 ✕ 1011 m.) (a)What is its orbital eccentricity? (b)What is its period? (Enter your answer in yr.) (c)At aphelion what is the potential energy (in J) of the comet—Sun system?
Suppose that Earth were moved to a distance of 2 AU from the Sun. How much stronger or weaker would the Sun's gravitational pull be on the Earth? Explain.
37. Jupiter at its present location, were a star? What would Earth be like ? Assume this hypothetical Jupiter with 75 × MJ would be a red dwarf with the same density as the Sun but a surface temperature of only 2500 K. What would be its total luminosity, compared to that of the Sun? (Hint: recall that to be a star, Jupiter would have to be 75 times more mass than it has today.)
What is the period of revolution of a satellite with a mass m that orbits earth in a circular path of a radius of 7940 km (about 1570 km above the surface of the earth).? Please provide details to the calculation so I understand better.
SCADO 10. A certain planet orbits the Sun with a period of 84 years. What is its distance from the Sun in Astronomical Units? (1 AU = the average distance between the Earth and the Sun)
