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.)
One way to recognize a distant planet is by its motion along its orbit. If Uranus circles the Sun in 84 years, how many arc seconds will it move in 24 hours? (For the purposes of this problem, ignore the motion of Earth.)
Since 1995, hundreds of extrasolar planets have been discovered. There is the exciting possibility that there is life on one or more of these planets. To support life similar to that on the Earth, the planet must have liquid water. For an Earth-like planet orbiting a star like the Sun, this requirement means that the planet must be within a habitable zone of 0.9 AU to 1.4 AU from the star. The semimajor axis of an extrasolar planet is inferred from its period. What range in periods corresponds to the habitable zone for an Earth-like Planet orbiting a Sun-like star?
(a) What is the approximate force of gravity on a 70kg person due to the Andromeda galaxy, assuming its total mass is 1013 than of our Sun and acts like a single mass 2 Mly away? (b) What is the ratio of this force to the person's weight? Note that Andromeda is the closest large galaxy.
In the Tsiolkovsky's equation, the parameter “delta v”, could I use “delta v”as “v” in the equation v=sqrt(GM/r) or are they different. For example if a satellite is in a geosynchronous orbit with a “delta v” of 2km/s, could I use the 2km/s to calculate the radius of orbit? Thanks
asap do all steps please An asteroid in our Solar System has an eccentricity of 0.550 and a perihelion (closest to Sun) distance of 0.800 AU (Astronomical Units). a)What is its semimajor axis in AU? b)What is its orbital period in Earth years? (Hint: use the simpler form of Kepler’s law for orbitsaround our Sun. You do not need to know 1AU in m). c)What is the ratio of its maximum to minimum speedduring its orbit, vmax/vmin (3 sig figs)? (Hint: use a conservation law) d)Choose one: The asteroid’s total mechanical energy is: i) positive, ii) zero iii) negative, iv) any of theaboveare possible. e) The Earth’s orbit is very close to circular and draw it as acircle of radius 1AU (OK to trace sometime at least the size of a quarter or draw by hand).

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.
