Astronomical observatrions of our Milky Way galaxy indicate that it has a mass of about 8.01011 solar masses. A star orbiting on the galaxy’s periphery is about 6.0104 light-years from its center. (a) What should the orbital period of that star be? (b) If its period is 6.0107 years instead, what is the mass of the galaxy? Such calculations are used to imply the existence of other matter, such as a very massive black hole at the center of the Milky Way.
An undiscovered planet, many lightyears from Earth, has one moon in a periodic orbit. This moon takes 20.0 days on average to complete one nearly circular revolution around the unnamed planet. If the distance from the center of the moon to the surface of the planet is 2.420 × 10° km and the planet has a radius of 4.100 × 10³ km, calculate the moon's radial acceleration a. a = m/s? & TOOLS x10
1. A circle has a radius of 10 cms. a) Find the central angle that cuts off an arc length of 17 cms (rounded to the appropriate number of significant digits if you use 3.14 as an approximation of T.) b) Find the central angle that cuts off a sector of area 40 cm2 c) Use the arc length formula to show how velocity is related to angular velocity for circular motion.
The Earth's orbit around the Sun is elliptical (oval shaped). However, the elongation is small, and for our discussion here, we take the orbit to be circular with a radius of approximately 93,000,000 mi. a. Find the linear speed (in mph) of the Earth through its orbit around the Sun. Round to the nearest hundred miles per hour. b. How far does the Earth travel in its orbit in one day? Round to the nearest thousand miles.
