Imagine you are on a planet outside our solar system and you observe that your weight is the same as on Earth. However, the planet has a larger size than Earth. Which statement about the escape speed on that planet is correct? The escape speed is smaller than that on Earth. The escape speed is larger than that on Earth. The escape speed is the same as on Earth. The escape speed is zero. The escape speed is infinitely large.

Suppose there were a planet in our Solar System orbiting at a distance of 0.5 AU from the Sun, and having ten times the mass and four times the radius of Earth. For reference, the Earth has a mass of 5.97 × 1024 kg and a radius of 6,378 km. a) Calculate the density of this hypothetical planet. b) Based on your answer from part a), what do you think this planet would be made of? Explain your reasoning. c)...

Earth II is a planet in a distant solar system which is earth-like, but a little smaller than our earth. In the distance future, Earth II has been settled by bold travelers from our home planet. Very far from Earth II (effectively at R=∞), a spacecraft has run out of fuel and its kinetic energy is zero. If only the gravitational force of Earth II were to act on the spacecraft (i.e., neglect the forces from the sun and other...

A new extrasolar planet (outside our solar system) has been discovered. This planet orbits a star of mass 1.05×1031 kg with a period of 6.52 years . It is also known that the planet has an eccentricity of 0.674. Part A: What is the average velocity of the planet in its orbit? in m/s Part B: What is the distance of closest approach to its parent start (perihelion)? d.perihelion in m Part C: What is the farthest distance the planet...

You joined the SQU science fiction club which is making an animation video about time travel to the early solar system when the moon was closer to Earth. Your task is to arrive at an accurate description of the orbital motion of the moon at the early solar system when it was at 0.80 the current distance from Earth. You summarized your task in the following questions that you are addressing in order:Hint: Remember the application of Kepler laws in...

1. On occasion, the Earth-Moon-Sun system is aligned such that the Earth or Moon casts a shadow partially or directly on the other body. These events are called eclipses. A lunar eclipse happens when the Moon passes through the Earth’s shadow. A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon is in a position where it blocks sunlight from getting to Earth. A. Draw a Sun-Earth-Moon diagram for each kind of eclipse (lunar and solar). Make sure you draw your diagrams large...

Imagine that someone discovers an alien spaceship in a perfectly circular orbit at exactly 4 AU from our Sun. Now imagine that in response, we scramble to assemble a spaceship of our own in low Earth orbit. Our spaceship has an orbital speed around Earth of about 7 km/s, while Earth is moving around the Sun at about 30 km/s. a. How long does it take the alien spaceship to go around the Sun once?   b. Which of the following...
