12). A planet of mass 34,000 kg is orbiting around the Sun in a circular path so that it currently is 2x10^11 m from the Sun and traveling at 20 km/s. Six months later, the planet is 0.6x10^11 m from the Sun. If we assume angular momentum is conserved, how fast is it orbiting?

There is heavy star treated to be at rest and a small planet orbiting around it. Only force between the star and a planet is central force of form F(r) = -ar", where r is a distance between star and a planet, a ER+, and n E R. Since the problem is spherically symmetric, total angular momentum is conserved, so orbit is embedded in some plane. What is a greatest lower bound of n for this planet to have a...

Astronomers discover a planet orbiting around another star. The star is very much like our Sun, and the planet is almost a twin to Jupiter. The planet has the same mass as Jupiter, is the same distance from its star as Jupiter is from our Sun (5.2 AU), has the same orbital period (12 years), is the same temperature, and has the same density and chemical composition as Jupiter. However, when we take a close up picture of the planet,...
