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?
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.
What is the orbital radius of an Earth satellite having a period of 1.00 h? (b) What is unreasonable about this result?
2. a. Consider two planets orbiting a distant star. Planet A is further from the star. A is orbiting at a speed of 14625 m/s and has an orbital period of 12.45 years. What is the radius of A's orbit?

If a 2000kg spacecraftis located at the positionmentioned in the previous question, how fast would the spacecraftneed to travel to orbit Pluto in a circular orbit?
a. Calculate the escape velocity of our solar system, from the surface of the sun. b. What velocity would an object leaving Earth need, to escape from our solar system? (ignore the gravitational effect from Earth and other planets for a & b)
2. Two spherical celestial objects, call them A and B have mass M1 and M2 with radius R1 and R2 respectively. Initially they are at a distance d from each other. Now solve the following problems. d. в (a) What would be the gravitational acceleration on the surface of object A ? You should ignore B's presence in this case. (b) Find the escape velocity of object B. Again ignore A's presence. (c) Now lets say these two objects, A & B start to move towards each other dude to mutual gravitational attraction. Find the time when they will collide with each other. Express you answers in terms of the given pa- rameters and any universal constant.
Mars has a Known radius of 3390 Km. Somebody threw a baseball at 990 Km/hr and it orbited the planer succesfuly. a) determine the period of orbit in secords b) Determine the gravitational field strength on Mars in N/Kg (how can I do that if I don´t have the mass of Mars)
a. What is a repeat ground-track orbit? b. Explain why repeat ground-track and Sun-synchronous orbits are typically used for Earth observation missions. = c. The constraint for a Sun-synchronous and repeat ground-track orbit is given by T 86, 400, where T is the orbital period in seconds, m the number of days and k the number of revolutions. Explain why this is, in fact, a constraint on the semi-major axis of the orbit. m

What is the asteroid's orbital radius? Express your answer in two significant figures. 2. What is the asteroid's orbital speed? Express answer in two significant figures.
The Russian Spektr-R satellite was recently placed in an Earth orbit with an altitude at perigee of 6,000 km and an altitude at apogee of 390,000 km. a. What is the semi-major axis of the orbit? b. What is the eccentricity? c. If the true anomaly is 180 deg, what is the satellite’s altitude?
In 2004 astronomers reported the discovery of a large Jupiter-sized planet orbiting very close to the star HD 179949 (hence the term "hot Jupiter"). The orbit was just 1/9 the distance of Mercury from our Sun, and it takes the planet only 3.09 days to make one orbit (assumed to be circular). a. What is the mass of the star? Express your answer in kilograms and as a multiple of our Sun's mass. b. How fast (in km/s) is this planet moving?
