Which of the following is true in our solar system? 1. The planets travel in a circular path, with the sun being in the very center. 2.

The planets travel in a helical path, with the sun located along the central axis.

Kepler's 1st law says that our Solar System's planets orbit in ellipses around the Sun where the closest distance to the Sun is called perihelion. Suppose I tell you that there is a planet with a perihelion distance of 2 AU and a semi-major axis of 1.5 AU. Does this make physical sense? Explain why or why not.
The planet Saturn has a mass of 5.68×10^26 kg and a radius of 58,200 km. Janus, a moon of Saturn, has a mass of 1.9×10^18 kg and it orbits Saturn a distance of 151,400 km from the center of Saturn. - How many hours does it take for Janus to orbit Saturn?
A planet's speed in orbit is given by V = (30 km/s)[(2/r)-(1/a)]0.5 where V is the planet's velocity, r is the distance in AU's from the Sun at that instant, and a is the semimajor axis of its orbit. Calculate the Earth's velocity in its orbit (assume it is circular): What is the velocity of Mars at a distance of 1.41 AU from the Sun? What is the spacecraft's velocity when it is 1 AU from the Sun (after launch from the Earth)? What additional velocity does the launch burn have to give to the spacecraft? (i.e. What is the difference between the Earth's velocity and the velocity the spacecraft needs to have?) How fast will the spacecraft be traveling when it reaches Mars? Does the spacecraft need to gain or lose velocity to go into the same orbit as Mars?

A newly discovered planet orbits a distant star with the same mass as the Sun at an average distance of 122 million kilometers. Its orbital eccentricity is 0.6. Find the planet's orbital period. Express your answer in years to three significant figures. Find the planet's nearest and farthest orbital distances from its star. Express your answers in millions of kilometers to three significant figures separated by a comma.
Using Kepler’s Third Law (r3 = MT2 where M is the mass of the central star) find the orbital radius in astronomical units of this planet. M = 1.5 times the mass of the sun. Remember to convert days to years using 365.25 as the length of a year in days. Key Points to know: - The semimajor axis of the planet in AU is r = 0.0379 AU - The circumference of the orbit is l = 3.562 x 10^10 m - The orbital velocity in m/s is v = 1.874 x 10^5 m/s Questions that need to be answered: - With that orbital velocity, the radius of the orbit in meters, find the centripetal acceleration of our exoplanet: - Knowing the acceleration that our planet experiences, calculate the force that the host star exerts on the planet: - Knowing the force on the planet, the orbital radius, and the mass of the parent star, use the equation for gravitational force to find the mass of our planet (m2). (To get m1 in kg multiply the mass of the star in solar masses by 1.98 x 1030).
