Question

b. Calculate the acceleration felt by at least three planets in your Mystery Solar System including the ones you picked in part a. Also calculate the acceleration felt by the asteroid.

Background: Imagine that an asteroid (of mass = 5 x 1014 kg) hits a planet in your Mystery Solar System. The impact exerts 2.2 x 1019 Newtons of force on that planet.

Outer Solar System Planets	Mass (Earth Masses)	Distance From Star (AU)	Orbit Period (years)	Spin (hours)	Tilt (degrees)	Radius (Earth Radii)	Reflectivity	Wavelength Light Emitted (nm)	Large Moons	Small Moons
1	288.42	3.87	6.8	10.7	1.2	10.79	0.40	23149	1	113
2	266.81	12.46	39.6	11.6	2.5	10.65	0.47	42760	6	16
3	128.03	32.14	163.9	14.3	4.0	9.42	0.47	68724	1	55

Hints: Remember that Newton’s second law is a=F/m and that the units of Newtons are kg m/s2. State the values of mass for each planet you use. Give your answer in appropriate units for acceleration. (((((((((( please, Show your work.))))))))) I am still learning here.
