Pluto’s orbit is more eccentric than any of the major planets. What does that mean?
The existence of the dwarf planet Pluto was proposed based on irregularities in Neptune's orbit. Pluto was subsequently discovered near its predicted position. But it now appears that the discovery was fortuitous, because Pluto is small and the irregularities in Neptune's orbit were not well known. To illustrate that Pluto has a minor effect on the orbit of Neptune compared with the closest planet to Neptune: (a) Calculate the acceleration due to gravity at Neptune due to Pluto when they are 4.501012 m apart, as they are at present. The mass of Pluto is 1.41022 kg (b) Calculate the acceleration due to gravity at Neptune due to Uranus, presently about 2.501012 m apart, and compare it with that due to Pluto. The mass of Uranus is 8.621025 kg.

Consider Figure 13.23 in Tidal Forces. This diagram represents the tidal forces for spring tides. Sketch a similar diagram for neap tides. (Hint: For simplicity, imagine that the Sun and the Moon contribute equally. Your diagram would be the vector sum of two force fields (as in Figure 13.23), reduced by a factor of two, and superimposed at right angles.)
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 below: ?planet =(9.340×1024)×(vmax)×(Pstar)1/3×(Mstar)2/3 Given: - vmax = 1.5 m/s - Pstar = 3.5 days - Mstar = 1.148 Msun, where Msun = 1.98847×1030 kg. This calculation is not shown.

Two large asteroids start with an initial separation of r0, at which time they each exert a gravitational force on the other of strength F0. After they have fallen toward each other for a period of time, their separation has decreased to 0.38r0. At that moment, what is the strength of the new gravitational force that each asteroid feels, in terms of F0? Blank 1. Calculate the answer by read surrounding text. times F0. Express your final answer to at least 3 significant figures.
