Suppose astronomers find an earthlike planet that is twice the size of Earth (that is, its radius is twice that of Earth’s). What must be the mass of this planet such that the gravitational force (Fgravity) at the surface would be identical to Earth’s?
(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.
Action at a distance, such as is the case for gravity, was once thought to be illogical and therefore untrue. What is the ultimate determinant of the truth in science, and why was this action at a distance ultimately accepted?
Check Your Understanding There is another consideration to this last calculation of ME. We derived Equation 13.8 assuming that the satellite orbits around the center of the astronomical body at the same radius used in the expression for the gravitational force between them. What assumption is made to justify this? Earth is about 81 times more massive than the Moon. Does the Moon orbit about the exact center of Earth? Which is about 17,000 mph. Using Equation 13.8, the period is T=2r3GME=2( 6.37 10 6+4.00 10 5m)3(6.67 10 11N m 2 /kg 2)(5.96 10 24kg)=5.55103s
Respond to each statement, true or false: (a) No force of gravity acts on an astronaut in an orbiting space station. (b) At three Earth radii from the center of Earth, the acceleration of gravity is one-ninth its surface value. (c) If two identical planets, each with surface gravity g and volume V, coalesce into one planet with volume 2V, the surface gravity of the new planet is 2g. (d) One kilogram of gold would have greater value on Earth than on the Moon.

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). Label an “S” where the Sunis. Carefully mark theperihelion of the asteroid to the left of the Sun with a “P” and aphelion with an “A” to the right of the Sunto scale (use your ruler to measure it). Show the extent of the asteroid’s semimajor…

Let's say an apple weighs exactly 1N on the surface of the Earth (which corresponds to a distance of 6400 km from the center of the Earth). Now imagine an astronaut brings the apple on a spaceship. What is the force of the Earth's gravity on this apple at a vertical distance of 6400 km above the surface of the Earth? Hint: the radial distance of the apple from the center has doubled. What does this do to the force of gravity according to Newton's law of universal gravitation?
