What are the standard time and date at (40N, 118W) when the standard time at (35N, 80W) is 6 p.m. on October 8?
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?
1. It takes 365.25 days for the Earth to complete one revolution around the sun. Calculate the (a) period, (b) frequency, and (c) angular frequency of Earth as it revolves around the sun.
3. The period of rotation of Mars is 1 day and 37 minutes. Determine its frequency of rotation in Hertz.
6. A synchronous orbit is an orbit about a planet's equator that always remains above the same spot of the planet because the synchronous orbit matches the planet's rotational period. The pilot of the Mars spacecraft (which was named Cheetah 1 and had a 9556 kg mass) asked Tarzan to calculate the altitude of a synchronous orbit so they could remain over a particular geological feature on the Martian equator. Calculate the altitude above the Martian equator using the data above and Johannes Kepler's genius.
12. As a separate exercise from the simulations, do the following calculation. There is a planet with mass 7.34 x 1024 kg, a day on this planet (Period of Rotation) is 20.43 hours. Calculate the radius of orbit to place a satellite such that it orbits in one planetary day (synchronous orbit).
6. Determine what the period of revolution of the Earth would be if its distance from the Sun were 4 AU rather than 1 AU. Assume that the mass of the Sun remains the same.
2. An unknown planet was accidentally discovered by NASA. It has a mean distance of 2.15 E11 meters from the sun. Assuming it has a mass of 6.02 E24 kg, how long (in Earth Years) will it take for the said planet to revolve around the sun?
3. The gravitational acceleration at Earth's surface (ge) is about 10 m/s? and ge = GM/R?. What is gp at the surface of a planet with 2X Earth's mass and 3X Earth's radius?
8. The mean distance of Earth from the Sun is 149.6 x 10° km and the mean distance of Mercury from the Sun is 57.9 x 10° km.

The planet Delta has 2 times the gravitational field strength and 3 times the radius of Earth. How does the mass of the planet Delta compare with the mass of Earth?
Leave the moon's amplitude (semi-major axis) constant. How does the changing of the moon's orbital period change the calculated value of the planet's mass? a. Increasing the orbital period results in a higher calculated value for the mass of the planet. Decreasing the orbital period results in a lower calculated value for the mass of the planet. b. Increasing the orbital period results in a lower calculated value for the mass of the planet. Decreasing the orbital period results in a higher calculated value for the mass of the planet. c. Increasing the orbital period results in a higher calculates value for the mass of the planet. Decreasing the orbital period results in a higher calculated value for the mass of the planet.
1. Compute for the value of the acceleration due to gravity g of an object at an altitude equal to twice the radius of the Earth? (radius of Earth = 6.4 x 106 m) 2. Scientists once hypothesized the existence of a planet called Vulcan to explain Mercury's precession. Vulcan is supposed to be between Mercury and the Sun with a solar distance equal to 2/3 of that of Mercury. What would be its supposed period? 3.
