An asteroid has speed 15.5km/s when it is located 2.00 AU from the sun. At its closest approach, it is 0.400 AU from the Sun. What is its speed at that point?
A tunnel is dug through the center of a perfectly spherical and airless planet fo radius R. Using the expression for g derived in Gravitation Near Earth’s Surface for a uniform density, show that a particle of mass m dropped in the tunnel will execute simple harmonic motion. Deduce the period of oscillation of m and show that it has the same period as an orbit the surface.
Show that the areal velocity for a circular orbit of radius r about a mass M is At=12GMr . Does your expression give the correct value for Earth’s areal vilocity about the Sun?
Following the technique used in Gravitation Near Earth’s Surface, find the value of g as a function of the radius r from the center of a spherical shell planet of constant density with inner and outer radii Rin and Rout . Find g for both eq and for RinrRout . Assuming the inside of the shell is kept airless, describe travel inside the spherical shell planet.
Since 1995, hundreds of extrasolar planets have been discovered. There is the exciting possibility that there is life on one or more of these planets. To support life similar to that on the Earth, the planet must have liquid water. For an Earth-like planet orbiting a star like the Sun, this requirement means that the planet must be within a habitable zone of 0.9 AU to 1.4 AU from the star. The semimajor axis of an extrasolar planet is inferred from its period. What range in periods corresponds to the habitable zone for an Earth-like Planet orbiting a Sun-like star?
Find the Hohmann transfer velocities, vEllipseEarth and vEllipseMars ,needed for a trip to Mars. Use Equation 13.7 to find the circular orbital velocities for Earth and Mars. Using Equation 13.4 and the total energy of the ellips (with semi-major asix a), given by E=GmMs2a , find the velocities at Earth (perihelion) and at Mars (aphelion) required to be on the transfer ellipse. The difference, v , at each point is the velocity boost or transfer velocity needed.
