Why did astronomers suspect an eighth planet beyond Uranus?
When astronomers were continuously watching the orbit of Uranus, they noted some discrepancy. In some points, Uranus loose track of its orbit. This lead to speculation that there should be another mass near Uranus, that pulls Uranus out of its orbit when it comes near to it. This was later verified by discovering Neptune.
The average density of the planet Uranus is 1.27 103 kg/m3. The ratio of the mass of Neptune to that of Uranus is 1.19. The ratio of the radius of Neptune to that of Uranus is 0.969. Find the average density of Neptune.
Why do some astronomers object to the new definition of a planet that was adopted in 2006? A. New space missions show that Pluto is much larger than originally thought. B. By this definition, Earth, Jupiter, and other planets should not be considered planets. C. There was never a vote on whether to adopt the new definition or not. D. It means that we now technically have over 100 planets.
Homework questions 1) Why did astronomers expect to find that the universe was decelerating? What is it actually doing? 2) What is meant by the "critical density of the universe? How is it related to the different models of the universe? 3) How was the interactions of particles different when the universe was a hundredth of a second old, 3 minutes old, and 500,000 years old? 4) Why don't we know what the universe was like at its actual birth...
In 2017 astronomers discovered a planet orbiting the star HATS-43. The orbit of the planet around HATS-43 has semi-major axis 7.41×109m, eccentricity 0.173, and period 4.39 days. Find the mass of HATS-43.
(c5p46) Compute the gravitational force between the sun (M = 1.99x1030 kg) and the planet Uranus (m = 1.45x101 times the mass of the earth, orbital radius r = 19.166 A.U.).
why did epidemiologists immediately suspect terrorism in the cases of anthrax in the fall of 2001?
Radio astronomers detect electromagnetic radiation at 45 MHz form an interstellar gas cloud. They suspect this radiation is emitted by electrons spiraling in a magnetic field. What is the magnetic field strength in the gas cloud?

1A.The planet Uranus has a satellite, Ariel, which travels in an orbit of radius 1.910×108 m with a period of 2.52 days. Calculate the mass of Uranus from this information. 1B. The masses and coordinates of three spheres are as follows: 16 kg, x = 0.75 m, y = 2.00 m; 46 kg, x = -1.75 m, y = -1.50 m; 70 kg, x = 0.00 m, y= -0.75 m. What is the magnitude of the gravitational force on a...
