Perform the same calculation for the staggered mass system in the right diagram. How does the time change between impacts of successive masses in both scenarios? Does this agree with your observations?

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.)
Comet P/1999 R1 has a perihelion of 0.0570 AU and aphelion of 4.99 AU. Using the results of the previous problem, find its speed at aphelion. (Hint: The expression is for the perihelion. Use symmetry ot rewrite the expression for aphelion.)

In the solar system, there are many small pieces of rocks (i.e., asteroids) floating around that we canactually detect and whose orbits we can track. We’ll learn more about these later, but for now let’stake a look at the orbits of the asteroids. You’ll want to keep 3-4 significant digits throughout this problemand report all periods in years.(a) Imagine here is a gap in semi-major axis near a hypothetical 2.502 AU. What would the orbital period be of asteroids at this location?(b) The explanation for the missing asteroids has to do with gravitational interactions from themassive planet Jupiter located at 5.204 AU. Calculate is the orbital period of Jupiter in years? This is ungraded problem that uses Kepler's 3rd law.
