5. Find the Kinetic energy when it hits the Earth's surface. (assume no air resistance) Saturn is orbiting around the Sun at a distance of 9.555 AU, and Saturn's period is 29.4 years. 6. Use this astronomical data to calculate the mass of the Sun. Venus has a 0.82 Earth mass, and a radius of 0.95 Earth radius. 7. Use this data to calculate the escape velocity of Venus. 8. Find the orbital velocity of a space probe that is 200,000 km above the surface. 9. Find the Orbital period of this space probe. The escape velocity on the surface of the Moon is 2.4 Km/sec, and the radius of the Moon is 0.27 Earth's radius. Find the mass of the Moon from this.

What evidence can you cite that planets orbit other stars?
When Sedna was discovered in 2003, it was the most distant object known to orbit the Sun. Currently, it is moving toward the inner solar system. Its period is 10,500 years. Its perihelion distance is 75 AU. a. What is its semimajor axis in astronomical units? b. What is its aphelion distance?
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.
What is the orbital velocity of an Earth satellite 42,230 km from Earth’s center? How long does it take to circle its orbit once?
(a) One of the moons of Jupiter, named Io, has an orbital radius of 4.22 108 m and a period of 1.77 days. Assuming the orbit is circular, calculate the mass of Jupiter, (b) The largest moon of Jupiter, named Ganymede, has an orbital radius of 1.07 109 m and a period of 7.16 days. Calculate the mass of Jupiter from this data, (c) Are your results to parts (a) and (b) consistent? Explain.
Tidal friction is slowing the rotation of the Earth. As a result, the orbit of the Moon is increasing in radius at a rate of approximately 4 cm/year. Assuming this to be a constant rate, how many years will pass before the radius of the Moon's orbit increases by 3.84106 m (1%)?
Use Keplers second law to convince yourself that Earth must move faster in its orbit during the northern hemisphere winter, when it is closest to the Sun, than during the summer, when it is farthest from the Sun.
Why did Greek astronomers conclude that the heavens were made up of perfect crystalline spheres moving at constant speeds?
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.)
