Assuming a circular orbit for the Sun about the center of the Milky Way galaxy, calculate its orbital Speed using the following information: The mass of the galaxy is equivalent to a single mass times that at the Sun (or located 30,000 ly away.
What is the gravitational acceleration close to the surface of a planet with a mass of 2ME and radius of 2RE where ME, and RE are the mass and radius of Earth, respectively? Answer as a multiple of g, the magnitude of the gravitational acceleration near Earths surface. (See Section 7.5.)
Check Your Understanding There is another consideration to this last calculation of ME. We derived Equation 13.8 assuming that the satellite orbits around the center of the astronomical body at the same radius used in the expression for the gravitational force between them. What assumption is made to justify this? Earth is about 81 times more massive than the Moon. Does the Moon orbit about the exact center of Earth? Which is about 17,000 mph. Using Equation 13.8, the period is T=2r3GME=2( 6.37 10 6+4.00 10 5m)3(6.67 10 11N m 2 /kg 2)(5.96 10 24kg)=5.55103s

A synchronous satellite, which always remains above the same point on a planets equator, is put in orbit around Jupiter to study that planets famous red spot. Jupiter rotates once every 9.84 h. Use the data of Table 13.2 to find the altitude of the satellite above the surface of the planet.
Check Your Understanding Earth exerts a tidal force on the Moon. Is it greater than, the same as, or less than that of the Moon on Earth? Be careful in your response, as tidal forces arise from the difference in gravitational forces between one side and the other. Look at the calculations we performed for the tidal force on Earth and consider the values that would change significantly for the Moon. The diameter of the Moon is one-fourth that of Earth. Tidal forces on the Moon are not easy to detect, since there is no liquid on the surface.
