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.

So let's consider a person with a mass of 51.0 kg standing on the Earth. To find the gravitational force on the person, we'll again use Newton's law of universal gravitation with the Earth as m2 and the radius of the Earth for the distance F = GmME RE2 . Now all we need to do is substitute values and calculate. We already said m = 51.0 kg, and we know G = 6.67 ✕ 10−11 N · m2/kg2. The Earth is not a perfect sphere, but, its average radius is RE = 6.37 ✕ 106 m. The mass of the Earth is ME = 5.97 ✕ 10−24 kg. We can then substitute these values in the following formula. (Enter your answer in N.) F = (6.67 ✕ 10−11 N · m2/kg2)(51.0 kg)(5.97 ✕ 1024 kg) (6.37 ✕ 106 m)2 (A) = _______ N Now let's compare this result to the person's weight (in N) found by multiplying the person's mass by g (or, that is, w = mg) where g = 9.80 m/s2. w = (51.0 kg)(9.80 m/s2) =(b) __________________ N You should have found that these two methods give about the same result!…
