- 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?arrow_forwardNASA is expected to send a 2600-kg satellite 450 km above the earth’s surface. (a) What is its radius? (b) What speed will it have?

- Io, a satellite of Jupiter, is the most volcanically active moon or planet in the solar system. It has volcanoes that send plumes of matter over 500 km high. Due to the satellite's small mass, the acceleration due to gravity on Io is only 1.81 m/s2and Io has no appreciable atmosphere. Assume that there is no variation in gravity over the distance traveled. a)What must be the speed of material just as it leaves the volcano to reach an altitude of 380 km? b)If the gravitational potential energy is zero at the surface, what is the potential energy for a 33 kg fragment at its maximum height (500 km) on Io? c)How much would this gravitational potential energy be if it were at the same height (500 km) above earth?arrow_forwardWhat is the minimum velocity required for a rocket to overcome earth's gravity and travel into space?

Io has a mass of 8.93×1022kg and a radius of 1821 km. For this calculation, ignore any variation in gravity over the 500 km range of the debris.

- An astronaut, whose mission is to go where no one has gone before, lands on a spherical planet in a distant galaxy. As she stands on the surface of the planet, she releases a small rock from rest and finds that it takes the rock 0.480 s to fall 1.90 m.
