Q5.7: An asteroid is in circular orbit around the Sun. Its distance from the Sun is 7.3 times the average distance of Earth from the Sun. The period of this asteroid is 20 Earth years A 7.3 Earth years 144 Earth years 53 Earth years 3.8 Earth years E
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?
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...
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?
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?
(a) An asteroid is in an elliptical orbit around a distant star. At its closest approach, the asteroid is 0.700 AU from the star and has a speed of 54.0 km/s. When the asteroid is at its farthest distance from the star of 36.0 AU, what is its speed (in km/s)? (1 AU is the average distance from the Earth to the Sun and is equal to 1.496 x 101 m. You may assume that other planets and smaller objects...
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...
A comet orbits the Sun every 8.67 years and reaches its closest distance to the Sun at 0.68 AU in its orbit. What would its aphelion be? Round your answer to 3 decimal places in normal decimal format in units of AU.
The asteroid Icarus (image above) has a perihelion distance of 0.19 AU and an orbital eccentricity of 0.83. What is its semimajor axis and aphelion distance from the Sun
