Since 1995, hundreds of extrasolar planets have been discovered. There is the exciting possibility that there is life on one or more of these planets. To support life similar to that on the Earth, the planet must have liquid water. For an Earth-like planet orbiting a star like the Sun, this requirement means that the planet must be within a habitable zone of 0.9 AU to 1.4 AU from the star. The semimajor axis of an extrasolar planet is inferred from its period. What range in periods corresponds to the habitable zone for an Earth-like Planet orbiting a Sun-like star?
A system consists of five particles. How many terms appear in the expression for the total gravitational potential energy of the system? (a) 4 (b) 5 (c) 10 (d) 20 (e) 25
A massive black hole is believed to exist at the center of our galaxy (and most other spiral galaxies). Since the 1990s, astronomers have been tracking the motions of several dozen stars in rapid motion around the center. Their motions give a clue to the size of this black hole. a. One of these stars is believed to be in an approximately circular orbit with a radius of about 1.50 103 AU and a period of approximately 30 yr. Use these numbers to determine the mass of the black hole around which this star is orbiting, b. What is the speed of this star, and how does it compare with the speed of the Earth in its orbit? How does it compare with the speed of light?
A spacecraft in the shape of a long cylinder has a length of 100 m, and its mass with occupants is 1 000 kg. Ii has strayed too close to a black hole having a mass 100 times that of the Sun (Fig. P11.11). The nose of the spacecraft points toward the black hole, and the distance between the nose and the center of the black hole is 10.0 km. (a) Determine the total force on the spacecraft. (b) What is the difference in the gravitational fields acting on the occupants in the nose of the ship and on those in the rear of the ship, farthest from the black hole? (This difference in accelerations grows rapidly as the ship approaches the black hole. It puts the body of the ship under extreme tension and eventually tears it apart.)

Thor stands on the top of Stark Tower (425 m) and fights his brother Loki using Mjolnir, his hammer. If his hammer has a mass equal to 300 billion elephants (call it 4.5*1015 kg), what is the gravitation potential energy (in J) of Mjolnir, relative to the ground? (Use scientific notation to enter your answer: 1.23E12 means 1.23 * 1012) 2.Loki tricks Thor into dropping Mjolnir off of Stark Tower. When the hammer has fallen one third of the way down the tower, what is its kinetic energy (in J)? (Hint: you could find the speed, then calculate the kinetic energy, but there's an easier way…)

In this problem you will measure the gravitational constant in a series of “observational experiments,” making use of Newton’s law of gravitation and second law of motion as well as Kepler’s third law of planetary motion Suppose a rocket is launched as described in part (d) with an initial speed of vi = 494 m/s and attains a peak altitude of H = 12.7 km above the surface of Earth. Taking ME = 5.95×1024 kg and Ri = 6.41×106 m, what is the measured value of the gravitational constant, in units of N⋅m2/kg2?
