Special Relativity

The theory of special relativity discusses how space and time are related to objects traveling along a straight line at a constant speed. Simply stated, as an object reaches the speed of light, its mass becomes infinite and it is unable to move faster than light. This interstellar speed limit has been the topic of much debate in astronomy, and also in science fiction when people consider how to fly over large distances.

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?
A. Use the definition of the center of mass to determine the maximum “wobble” velocity of a star of mass M caused by a planet of mass m orbiting at a distance r from the star with a period T. B. Thanks to Kepler, we know that the mass, period, and distance of an orbiting object are actually related. Use Newton’s version of Kepler’s Third Law to determine the maximum “wobble” velocity in terms of M, m, and r.
