Astronomical observations of our Milky Way galaxy indicate that it has a mass of about 8.1011 solar masses. A star orbiting on the galaxy's periphery is about 6.0104 light years from its center. (a) What should the orbital period of that star be? (b) If its period is 6.0107 instead, what is the mass of the galaxy? Such calculations are used to imply the existence of "dark matter" in the universe and have indicated, for example, the existence of very massive black holes at the centers of some galaxies.
6. We’ve learned that incredibly intelligent (and superior) aliens from the planet Splorg are planning toinvade the Earth. However, they have first decided to determine how smart we humans are. If theydeem us smart enough, they might reconsider their planned invasion. To evaluate our intelligence, theyhave asked us to get our Physics class to figure out at what radial distance they would need to orbit asatellite so that it always remained at the same location above the Splorigian equator (i.e. insplorgeosynchronous orbit). They also want to know what velocity they’d need their spacecraft toreach in order for it to escape the gravity of Splorg when the time comes to invade Earth. Here’s theinformation they gave us: a day on Splorg lasts the equivalent of 31.7 hours. At the equator, Splorg hasa circumference of 54,660 km. Finally, they’ve told us that it takes a 2 kg mass exactly 0.56 s to fall adistance of 2 m at the surface of Splorg
