Two planets X and Y travel counterclockwise in circular orbits about a star, as seen in the figure. Y X Y (a) (b) The radii of their orbits are in the ratio 5:4. At some time, they are aligned, as seen in (a), making a straight line with the star. Five years later, planet X has rotated through 88.5°, as seen in (b). By what angle has planet Y rotated through during this time? 3439.37 kg/m^3

Your CECS graduation tassel hangs from the rear view mirror of your graduation gift, a 1981 DeLorean DMC-12 with Mr. Fusion garbage fusion generator!!! The tassel hangs plumb (vertical) when driving at a constant speed of 16 m/sec on a level highway then tilts 22 degrees from the vertical while traveling around a circular round-about (or roundie or rotary). Determine the radius of the circular path in meters.
Moon is at the distance 384400 km from Earth and orbits the Earth every ∼28 days. Ifthe radius of the Moon is 1737 km (consider it to be spherical), what is the area of themoon as measured by the observer on Earth? (Hint: Length contraction)
According to Lunar Laser Ranging experiment the average distance Lm from the Earth to the Moon is approximately 3.97 x 105 km. The Moon orbits the Earth and completes one revolution relative to the stars in approximately 27.5 days (a sidereal month). Calculate the orbital velocity of the Moon in m/s.
In the solar system, there are many small pieces of rocks (i.e., asteroids) floating around that we canactually detect and whose orbits we can track. We’ll learn more about these later, but for now let’stake a look at the orbits of the asteroids. You’ll want to keep 3-4 significant digits throughout this problemand report all periods in years.(a) Imagine here is a gap in semi-major axis near a hypothetical 2.502 AU. What would the orbital period be of asteroids at this location?(b) The explanation for the missing asteroids has to do with gravitational interactions from themassive planet Jupiter located at 5.204 AU. Calculate is the orbital period of Jupiter in years? This is ungraded problem that uses Kepler's 3rd law.

The starships of the Solar Federation are marked withthe symbol of the federation, a circle, while starships of the DenebianEmpire are marked with the empire’s symbol, an ellipse whosemajor axis is 1.40 times longer than its minor axis (a = 1.40B. How fast, relative to an observer, does an empire shiphave to travel for its marking to be confused with the marking of afederation ship?
In a distant star system there are many inhabitable planets. One of these planets is named Qomar. Qomar is 3.2 AU's from its star and takes 6.5 Earth years to go around its star once. There is another planet in the same star system called Ferenginar. Ferenginar is 0.9 AUs from the star. What is the length of a Ferengi year (on Ferenginar) in terms of Earth years?
Mars' period (its "year") was noted by Kepler to be about 687 days (Earth days), which is (687d / 365 d) = 1.88 yr. Determine the distance of Mars from the Sun using the Earth as reference.

A Mars observing satellite is orbiting on a circular orbit at an altitude of 1000 km above Mars’s equator. Find satellite’s acceleration and velocity as seen from a deep space communications station located on Earth’s equator, when they are on a direct line of sight (see the Fig. below). Assume for simplicity that planetary orbits and their equatorial planes are all in the plane of ecliptic (that is all, motion is in a 2D plane). Earth radius is 6300 km, Mars radius 3400 km, Mars mass 6.4x1023 kg. Assume that all circular motions are counter clockwise (i.e., orbital motions of Earth and Mars, Earth spin, and satellite orbital motion).
