According to Keplers first law, planets move in elliptical orbits. Why is that considered accelerated motion? According to Newton, what is the force causing that acceleration?
Which major planet has the largest . . . A. semimajor axis? B. average orbital speed around the Sun? C. orbital period around the Sun? D. eccentricity?
If the major axis of an ellipse is 16 cm, what is the semimajor axis? If the eccentricity is 0.8, would this ellipse be best described as mostly circular or very elongated?
What is the circular velocity of an Earth satellite 1000 km above Earths surface? (Note: Earths average radius is 6370 km. Hint: Convert all quantities to m, kg, s.)
Show that equations 1, 2 and 3 lead to Kepler’s Third Law of planetary motion. How are theorbital radius and period related? How do you obtain a linear plot from this relationship?Which quantities would be in the x-axis? y-axis?
Newtons version of Kepler's third law is P2=4pi2/(G(M1+M2)) x a3. Since the square of the period P varies inversely with the Sum of the masses (M1+M2), the period itself depends on the inverse square root of the object masses. If a solar system has a star that is 3.9 times as massive as our Sun, and if that solar system has Earths exact twin, what is the orbital period of that planets months ?
A projectile is shot upward from the surface of Earth with an initial velocity of 128 meters per second. Use the position function below for free-falling objects. What is its velocity after 4 seconds? After 10 seconds? (Round your answers to one decimal place.) s(t) = −4.9t2 + v0t + s0 4 s m/s 10 s m/s
Why is it important that the projectile in the question 1 be above Earth’s atmosphere? Question 1 Why will a projectile that moves horizontally at 8 km/s follow a curve that matches the curvature of the Earth?
The dwarf planet Praamzius is estimated to have a diameter of about 300 km and orbits the sun at a distance of 6.8×10^12m. What is its orbital period in years? Express your answer in years to three significant figures.
Modeled after the two satellites problem (slide 12 in Lecture13, Universal gravity), imagine now if the period of the satellite is exact 93.55 hours, the earth mass is 5.98 x 1024 kg, and the radius of the earth is 3958.8 miles, what is the distance of the satellite from the surface of the earth in MILES? Use G=6.67x 10 -11 Nm2/kg2. Your answer for this problem is some large number on the order of 105 to 106. Just put in the raw number as your answer. For example, 34567.11.
According to Kepler's Law, which of the following statements is true? Explain your work! (a) Planets move slower when they are closer to the Sun and faster when they are farther away. (b) All points on the path of the planet's orbit are equidistant from the Sun. (c) Planets move faster when they are closer to the Sun and slower when they are farther away. (d) Planets orbit at constant velocity.
