Titan is the largest moon of Saturn, and the only moon in the solar system known to have a substantial atmosphere. Its radius is easily measured to be 2570km. Since it doesn't have a satellite itself it's not obvious to us how we could determine its mass. Suppose an astronaut of mass 60kg visits and nds her weight to be 81N. What is Titan's mass?
In the solar system, there are many small pieces of rocks (i.e., asteroids) floating around that we canactually detect and whose orbits we can track. We’ll learn more about these later, but for now let’stake a look at the orbits of the asteroids. You’ll want to keep 3-4 significant digits throughout this problemand report all periods in years.(a) Imagine here is a gap in semi-major axis near a hypothetical 2.502 AU. What would the orbital period be of asteroids at this location?(b) The explanation for the missing asteroids has to do with gravitational interactions from themassive planet Jupiter located at 5.204 AU. Calculate is the orbital period of Jupiter in years? This is ungraded problem that uses Kepler's 3rd law.
