Chapter 08, Problem 51 Chalkboard Video A star has a mass of 2.10 x 1050 kg and is moving in a circular orbit about the center of its galaxy. The radius of the orbit is 2.5 x 104 light-years (1 light-year = 9.5 x 1015 m), and the angular speed of the star is 2.0 x 10-15 rad/s. (a) Determine the tangential speed of the star. (b) What is the magnitude of the net force that acts on the star...
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
15 > A horizontal circular platform rotates counterclockwise about its axis at the rate of 0.813 rad/s. You, with a mass of 68.9 kg, walk clockwise around the platform along its edge at the speed of 1.17 m/s with respect to the platform. Your 20.1 kg poodle also walks clockwise around the platform, but along a circle at half the platform's radius and at half your linear speed with respect to the platform. Your 18.9 kg mutt, on the other...

A star near the visible edge of a galaxy travels in a uniform circular orbit. It is 42,700 ly (light-years) from the galactic center and has a speed of 275 km/s. Estimate the total mass of the galaxy based on the motion of the star. Gravitational constant is 6.674×10−11 m3/(kg·s2) and mass of the Sun Ms=1.99 × 1030 kg. The total visible mass (i.e., matter we can detect via electromagnetic radiation) of the galaxy is 1011 solar masses. What fraction...
Part 1: Our Sun rotates about the center of our Galaxy (mG≈4×1041kg) at a distance of about 3×104 light-years [1ly=(3.00×108m/s)⋅(3.16×107s/yr)⋅(1.00yr)]. What is the period of the Sun's orbital motion about the center of the Galaxy? Express your answer using one significant figure. Part 2: Calculate the speed of a satellite moving in a stable circular orbit about the Earth at a height of 6000 km . v=???? m/s

A satellite is in a circular orbit around the Earth at an altitude of 2.24 x 106 m. (a) Find the period of the orbit. (Hint: Modify Kepler's third law so it is suitable for objects orbiting the Earth rather than the Sun. The radius of the Earth is 6.38 x 106 m, and the mass of the Earth is 5.98 x 1024 kg.) h (b) Find the speed of the satellite. km/s (c) Find the acceleration of the satellite....
A 85.7 kg horizontal circular platform rotates freely with no friction about its center at an initial angular velocity of 1.59 rad/s. A monkey drops a 8.67 kg bunch of bananas vertically onto the platform. They hit the platform at of its radius from the center, adhere to it there, and continue to rotate with it. Then the monkey, with a mass of 20.7 kg, drops vertically to the edge of the platform, grasps it, and continues to rotate with...
