2. A new Earth-like planet is found orbiting a distant star with a circular orbit. The it takes 1.3 Earth years for the planet to make a full circle around it's star. The star has a radius 5 x 1011m. The altitude of the planet's orbit is 8 x 105 km. Find the mass of the star that the new planet is orbiting.
A new Earth size planet has been discovered in a distant star system. The planet has six times the mass of Earth and has a radius of twice the radius of the Earth. Do NOT mix or change system of units! There is an equation in the posted handout for solving this problem. If you do not use it you will only receive 1 point for this problem no matter your answer. What is the acceleration due to gravity on...
A planet in a circular orbit about a star has an orbital radius of 6.10 au . If the star has a mass that is 1.20 times our own Sun's mass, determine the time ? , in units of Earth years, for one revolution of the planet around the star
points A newly discovered planet is in a circular orbit around a distant star with an orbital period of 400 Earth days. The planet also rotates on its axis, making one full rotation every 4.00 Earth days. The radius of the planet is rp = 7.00 × 106 m and the radius of the planet's orbit about the star is r 7.00×1011 m. My Notes Ask Your Tea Determine the ratio of the radial acceleration, due to the rotation of...
