Assuming a circular orbit for the Sun about the center of the Milky Way galaxy, calculate its orbital Speed using the following information: The mass of the galaxy is equivalent to a single mass times that at the Sun (or located 30,000 ly away.
You and three of your friends have won an all-expenses paid one-time-only round-trip first-class vacation to anywhere in the Universe, so long as the choice of destination is unanimous. Where do you want to go, and how do you convince your friends to agree?
1.) In what way(s) is Einstein's general theory of relativity superior to Newton's theory of universal gravitation? For each way, give an example of a case where Einstein's theory provides a more accurate description of physical phenomena than does Newton's. (Select all that apply.) A.) Newton's theory originally held that the orbit of a spherical object about another will be an open curve for which the point of closest approach slowly precesses. Einstein's theory correctly predicts that gravitational forces lead to orbits of closed ellipses. B.) Einstein's theory correctly predicts the deflection of light passing near a massive object, while Newton's theory predicts a deflection that is one-half the observed deflection. C.) Einstein's theory correctly predicts that the orbit of a spherical object about another will be an open curve for which the point of closest approach slowly precesses. Newton's theory originally held that gravitational forces lead to orbits of closed…
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.
True or False (Explain if False) 1. There is no gravity in space that is why astronauts in the International Space Station experience apparent weightlessness. 2. Another of the 82 moons of Saturn is named Rhea, which accelerates slower than the planet. 3. Eddie accidentally throws his aspirator straight up after seeing the leper down Neibolt street. Neglecting air resistance, the potential energy of the aspirator decreases while the it is going up. 4. Despite possible risks, Macoy throws his child, Imee, straight up into the air and catches her, while his wife, Imelda, was not around. Imee has the lowest energy at just before she reaches her father's hand. 5. Bill pushes his silver bicycle down a road in Derry at a constant velocity. Of the four forces (friction, gravity, normal force, and pushing force) acting on the bicycle, the greatest amount of work is exerted by friction.

Astrology, that unlikely and vague pseudoscience, makes much of the position of the planets at the moment of birth. The only known force a planet exerts on earth is gravitational. (a) Calculate the gravitational force exerted on a 5.00 kg baby by a 130 kg father 0.150 m away at birth (assisting so he is close). ______N(b) Calculate the force on the baby due to Jupiter if it is at its closest to the earth, some 6.29 ✕ 1011 m away, showing it to be comparable to that of the father. The mass of Jupiter is about 1.90 ✕ 1027 kg. Other objects in the room and the hospital building also exert similar gravitational forces. (Of course, there could be an unknown force acting, but scientists first need to be convinced that there is even an effect, much less that an unknown force causes it.)_____ N
