- Since March 2006, NASAs Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) has been in a circular orbit at an altitude of 316 km around Mars (Fig. P6.81). The acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the planet Mars is 0.376g, and its radius is 3.40 103 km. Assume the acceleration due to gravity at the satellite is the same as on the planets surface. a. What is MROs orbital speed? B. What is the period of the spacecrafts orbit? FIGURE P6.81arrow_forwardSaturns ring system forms a relatively thin, circular disk in the equatorial plane of the planet. The inner radius of the ring system is approximately 92,000 km from the center of the planet, and the outer edge is about 137,000 km from the center of the planet. The mass of Saturn itself is 5.68 1026 kg. a. What is the period of a particle in the outer edge compared with the period of a particle in the inner edge? b. How long does it take a particle in the inner edge to move once around Saturn? c. While this inner-edge particle is completing one orbit abound Saturn, how far around Saturn does a particle on the outer edge move?arrow_forwardPlanetary orbits are often approximated as uniform circular motion. Figure P7.9 is a scaled representation of a planets orbit with a semimajor axis of 1.524 AU. a.

What is the ratio of the planets maximum speed to its minimum speed? c. Comment on the validity of approximating this orbit as uniform circular motion.arrow_forward

(b) What is unreasonable about this result?arrow_forwardFor 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_forwardThree billiard balls, the two-ball, the four-ball, and the eight-ball, are arranged on a pool table as shown in Figure P7.26.
