For many years, astronomer Percival Lowell searched for a Planet X that might explain some of the perturbations observed in the orbit of Uranus. These perturbations were later explained when the masses of the outer planets and planetoids, particularly Neptune, became better measured (Voyager 2). At the time, however, Lowell had proposed the existence of a Planet X that orbited the Sun with a mean distance of 43 AU. With what period would this Planet X orbit the Sun?

Kenny gets sent to a distant planet of radius 6.0 x 10^5m, and he tries to find out how big the planet is by kicking a sphere of 0.4 kg. He kicks it (with respect to the ground) at an angle of 45o, with a speed of 30 m/s. If the sphere lands 6 seconds later, what is the mass of that planet? Remember, the gravitational acceleration for this planet isn't the same as Earth's!

A light rod of length 2L is free to rotate in a verticalplane about a frictionless pivot through its center. A particleof mass m1 is attached at one end of the rod, and a mass m2is at the opposite end, where m1 >m2. The system is releasedfrom rest in the vertical position shown in Figure P8.84a, andat some later time, the system is rotating in the position shownin Figure P8.84b. Take the reference point of the gravitationalpotential energy to be at the pivot. (a) Find an expression forthe system’s total mechanical energy in the vertical position.(b) Find an expression for the total mechanical energy in therotated position shown in Figure P8.84b.

In 2005 astronomers announced the discovery of a large black hole in the galaxy Markarian 766 having clumps of matter orbiting around once every 27 hours and moving at 30,000 km/s. How far are these clumps from the center of the black hole? What is the mass of this black hole, assuming circular orbits? Express your answer in kilograms and as a multiple of our sun's mass.
