Saturns ring system forms a relatively thin, circular disk in the equatorial plane of the planet. The inner radius of the ring system is approximately 92,000 km from the center of the planet, and the outer edge is about 137,000 km from the center of the planet.

A massive black hole is believed to exist at the center of our galaxy (and most other spiral galaxies). Since the 1990s, astronomers have been tracking the motions of several dozen stars in rapid motion around the center. Their motions give a clue to the size of this black hole. a. One of these stars is believed to be in an approximately circular orbit with a radius of about 1.50 103 AU and a period of approximately 30 yr. Use these numbers to determine the mass of the black hole around which this star is orbiting, b. What is the speed of this star, and how does it compare with the speed of the Earth in its orbit? How does it compare with the speed of light?
(a) Given that the period of the Moons orbit about the Earth is 27.32 days and the nearly constant distance between the center of the Earth and the center of the Moon is 3.84 108 m, use Equation 13.11 to calculate the mass of the Earth. (b) Why is the value you calculate a bit too large?
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?
For many years, astronomer Percival Lowell searched for a Planet X that might explain some of the perturbations observed in the orbit of Uranus. These perturbations were later explained when the masses of the outer planets and planetoids, particularly Neptune, became better measured (Voyager 2). At the time, however, Lowell had proposed the existence of a Planet X that orbited the Sun with a mean distance of 43 AU. With what period would this Planet X orbit the Sun?
Since March 2006, NASAs Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) has been in a circular orbit at an altitude of 316 km around Mars (Fig. P6.81). The acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the planet Mars is 0.376g, and its radius is 3.40 103 km. Assume the acceleration due to gravity at the satellite is the same as on the planets surface. a. What is MROs orbital speed? B. What is the period of the spacecrafts orbit? FIGURE P6.81
A number of gas giant planets orbiting other stars at distances less than 1 A.U. have been discovered. Because of their proximity to their parent stars, and their compositional similarity to Jupiter, they have been labeled “Hot Jupiters”. The orbital radius of one of these planets is 0.06 A.U. with average orbital speed 600 km/sec. What is the length of this planet’s year in Earth (solar) days? Estimate the mass, M, of its parent star in terms of the mass of the sun (M) using Newton’s first form of Kepler’s 3rd Law. Calculate the star’s luminosity, L, in terms of the luminosity of the sun (L☉), Note: (LL=MM4where L ~ 4 × 1026 W ). The radius of this planet is 1.5 times the radius of Jupiter. Assuming its equilibrium temperature is the temperature at which the planet radiates as much energy as it receives from its star, estimate the temperature of the planet. The value of the planet’s albedo is 0.8. (NOTE: The intensity of the star’s radiant power at a distance d from the star is…
