When Sedna was discovered in 2003, it was the most distant object known to orbit the Sun. Currently, it is moving toward the inner solar system. Its period is 10,500 years. Its perihelion distance is 75 AU. a. What is its semimajor axis in astronomical units? b. What is its aphelion distance?

According to the National Academy of Sciences, the Earths surface temperature has risen about 1F since 1900. There is evidence that this climate change may be due to human activity. The organizers of World Jump Day argue that if the Earth were in a slightly larger orbit, we could avoid global warming and climate change. They propose that we move the Earth into this new orbit by jumping. The idea is to get people in a particular time zone to jump together. The hope is to have 600 million people jump in a 24-hour period. Lets see if it will work. Consider the Earth and its inhabitants to make up the system. a. Estimate the number of people in your time zone. Assume they all decide to jump at the same time; estimate the total mass of the jumpers. b. What is the net external force on the Earthjumpers system? c. Assume the jumpers use high-tech Flybar pogo sticks (Fig. P8.32), which allow them to jump 6 ft. What is the displacement of the Earth as a result of their jump? d. What happens to the Earth when the jumpers land?
Astronomical observations of our Milky Way galaxy indicate that it has a mass of about 8.1011 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 instead, what is the mass of the galaxy? Such calculations are used to imply the existence of "dark matter" in the universe and have indicated, for example, the existence of very massive black holes at the centers of some galaxies.

Problem 1. “Hot Jupiter” Exoplanets 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.
