Q5. (i) With the aid of a sketch show what the Prime Meridian is.(ii) What is the “Ecliptic” as named on a Celestial Sphere?(iii) In a location the mean solar time is 8hrs different from that of GreenwichMean Solar time. What is the longitude of this location?
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 in the image:
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.
