Assuming that Earth’s orbit around the Sun is circular, what information do you need to estimate...
From known information about the Earth’s orbit around the Sun, calculate the speed of the Earth as it orbits the Sun. (Hint: You will need to look up the distance from the Earth to the Sun in meters). Choose the answer closest to your calculated result.

Assume the earth is revolving around the sun in a circular orbit with a radius of 149,600,000km. What is the centripetal acceleration of the earth as it revolves around the sun?
If the radius of Neptune’s (circular) orbit around the Sun is 4.5×109 km, determine how long it takes Neptune (in Earth years) to complete one revolution around the Sun.
What is the angular momentum of Neptune in a circular orbit around the Sun? Mass of sun is 1.989x10^30 kg, mass of Neptune is 1.898x10^27 kg. Gravitational Constant: G=6.67x10^-11Nm^2/kg^2. Radius of orbit around the sun is 7.786x10^8 km.
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 satellite of mass m (where m ≪ Me) is initially in a circular orbit around the Earth at a height of 410 km above the Earth’s equator. Its operators would like to move it into a geosynchronous orbit using a Hohmann transfer orbit. Assume a spherical Earth with radius 6371 km. (a) Sketch the satellite’s Hohmann transfer orbit. (b) Find the satellite’s initial (circular) orbital speed according to an inertial observer. (c) Find the maximum height of the satellite...
