Two planets X and Y travel counterclockwise in circular orbits about a star as shown in Figure P11.14. The radii of their orbits are in the ratio 3:1. At one moment, they are aligned as shown in Figure P11.14a, making a straight line with the star. During the next five years, the angular displacement of planet X is 90.0 as shown in Figure P11.14b. What is the angular displacement of planet Y at this moment?
Suppose a star the size of our Sun, but with mass 5.0 times as great, were rotating at a speed of 1.0 revolution every 10 days. If it were to undergo gravitational collapse to a neutron star of radius 14 km, losing three-quarters of its mass in the process, what would its rotation speed be? Assume also that the thrown- off mass carries off either. a) no angular momentum b) its proportional share three-quarters of the initial angular momentum

In 2014, the Rosetta space probe reached the comet Churyumov– Gerasimenko. Although the comet’s core is actually far from spherical, in this problem we’ll model it as a sphere with a mass of 1.0 x 1013 kg and a radius of 1.6 km. If a rock were dropped from a height of 1.0 m above the comet’s surface, how long would it take to hit the surface?
A 1500-kg satellite orbits a planet in a circular orbit of radius 6.2 × 106 m. What is the angular momentum, in kg m2/s, of the satellite in its orbit around the planet if the satellite completes one orbit every 1.5 × 104 s?
An asteroid has a mass of m = 2.6 x 106 kg and is approaching Earth. When the asteroid is exactly 3 radii away from the Earth's centre, it's speed relative to the Earth's centre is u = 8.7 x 103 ms-1. The asteroid then falls to the Earth's surface, but remains intact without dissipating any energy as it passes through the Earth's atmosphere. If the rotation of the asteroid and the Earth is ignored, what is the kinetic energy of the asteroid just before it hits the ground? The Earth has mass ME = 5.98 x 1024 kg and a radius of 6.38 x 106 m. To find the relevant potential energies, you must use G = 6.67 x 10-11 N m2 kg-2
According to the law of conservation of momentum... a total angular momentum is unchanged, it means an orbiting object must orbit faster when it's far from the object it orbits around b when an object rotates or orbits, it will eventually stop because of friction c total angular momentum is unchanged, it means an orbiting object must orbit at the same speed when it's far from the object it orbits around d total angular momentum is unchanged, it means an orbiting object must orbit faster when it's near the object it orbits around
In a 2-body system, a space craft is in a circular orbit at a fixed radius B (450*10^8) around a central star of mass M (6*10^120) Determine the total energy and angular momentum of the circular orbit. (v/m = -E/m) and angular momentum (l/m) Both of these values are normalised by the mass of the spacecraft.

The figure shows a spherical hollow inside a lead sphere of radius R = 4.3 m; the surface of the hollow passes through the center of the sphere and “touches” the right side of the sphere. The mass of the sphere before hollowing was M = 388 kg. With what gravitational force does the hollowed-out lead sphere attract a small sphere of mass m = 37 kg that lies at a distance d = 12 m from the center of the lead sphere, on the straight line connecting the centers of the spheres and of the hollow?
