1. using Newton’s Law of Universal Gravitation and some kinematics calculation we can calculate the mass of the planet. For this, use this equation in the image:

 

Given:

- vmax = 83 m/s

- Pstar = 3.5 days 

- Mstar = 1.148 Msun, where Msun = 1.98847×1030 kg. This calculation is not shown.

Mplanet
(9.340 x 1024) × (vmax ) × (Pstar)+/3 × (Mstar )²/3
Transcribed Image Text:Mplanet (9.340 x 1024) × (vmax ) × (Pstar)+/3 × (Mstar )²/3
