For many years, astronomer Percival Lowell searched for a Planet X that might explain some of the perturbations observed in the orbit of Uranus. These perturbations were later explained when the masses of the outer planets and planetoids, particularly Neptune, became better measured (Voyager 2). At the time, however, Lowell had proposed the existence of a Planet X that orbited the Sun with a mean distance of 43 AU. With what period would this Planet X orbit the Sun?
What is the orbital radius of an Earth satellite having a period of 1.00 h? (b) What is unreasonable about this result?
It was stated that a satellite with negative total energy is in a bound orbit, whereas one with zero or positive total energy is in an unbounded orbit. Why zero or positive total energy is in an unbounded orbit. Why is this true? What choice for gravitational potential energy was made such that this is true?
A planet has two moons with identical mass. Moon 1 is in a circular orbit of radius r. Moon 2 is in a circular orbit of radius 2r. The magnitude of the gravitational force exerted by the planet on Moon 2 is (a) four times as large (b) twice as large (c) the same (d) half as large (e) one-fourth as large as the gravitational force exerted by the planet on Moon 1.
Suppose an alien civilization has a space station in circular orbit around its home planet. The stations orbital radius is twice the planets radius, (a) If an alien astronaut has weight w just before launch from the surface, will she be weightless when she reaches the station and floats inside of it? (b) If not, what will be the ratio of her weight in orbit to her weight on the planets surface?
