planet X travels in a circular motion orbit around the Sun. The radius of Planet X is twice that of Earth. The year on Planet X is 540 Earth years. The mass of Planet X is half that of Earth. The mass of the sun is 1.99*10^30 kg. The Earth's orbital distance from the Sun is 1.50*10^11 m.
A planet has a mass of 7.5x1024 kg and travels in a nearly circular orbit around a star as shown. When it is at location A, the velocity of the planet is o, o, -1.5x104 m/s. When it reaches location B, the planet's velocity is-1.5x104, 0, 0 m/s. We're looking down on the orbit from above, with +x to the right and +z down the page. 1 Sun (a) what is Δp, the change in the momentum of the planet...
