You are packing for a vacation on a planet orbiting another star that is much like the Sun. Why might you want some information about the planets orbit size and axis tilt to know what to pack?
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.
