asap 1. Imagine that an object is moving around the Sun. What will be the orbital period of the object in Earth years if its orbit has a semi-major axis 1.587 AU?
BACKGROUND An ingenious solution to the Earth's circumference occured in 230 BC. Eratosthenes, a Greek geographer, mathematician, music theorist, poet, astronomer, and philosopher, was reading in the Library of Alexandria when he noticed an account for a deep well near Syene (now Aswan), some distance to the south (800 km) in which at high noon on the longest day of the year the bottom of the well was fully illuminated by the Sun. Eratosthenes exclaimed "Ah-ah!" (or something like that), "I can solve for the circumference of the Earth!". In his mind's eye, Eratosthenes could see that at Syene, at the moment when the bottom of the well was fully lit, the Sun must have been at the Zenith (directly overhead). Yet he knew that at the same moment in Alexandria vertical objects (like a tower, pole) cast shadows. Here is the experiment perfomed by Eratosthenes (see the picture below). • He erected a vertical pole at Alexandria (A) and measured the angle of its shadow at the moment when the…

1. Consider our Sun - it is in orbit around the center of our Milky Way Galaxy. The velocity of the Sun in its orbit is about 250 km/s. The distance to the center of the galaxy is about 9.1 kpc (kiloparsecs). We can use Kepler's third law to calculate the mass of the galaxy interior to the Sun's orbit. We assume that the orbit is circular so that the semimajor axis is just the radius of the circular orbit = 9.1 kpc. First we need to calculate the number of AU's in 9.1 kpc. (Note that 1 Крс - 1000 рс - 3260 1t yrs and 1 pc - 206,265 AU.) %3D a =r =9.1kpc = (9.1kpc) 1000 pc 206,265AU] 1kpc AU Sun 1pc

Where does gold (the element) come from? A. It is produced during the supernova explosions of high-mass stars. B. It was produced during the Big Bang. C. It is produced by mass transfer in close binaries. D. It is produced during the late stages of fusion in low-mass stars.
1. The diameter of the Sun is equal to 1.392 × 10⁹ m, and the distance from the Sun to Saturn is equal to 9.5 AU. Suppose you want to build an exact scale model of the solar system, and you are using a volleyball with average diameter of 21 cm to represent the Sun.
1) Thinking about the Scale of the Solar System As we discuss in class, the radius of the Earth is approximately 6370 km. The Sun, on the other hand, is approximately 700,000 km in radius and located, on average, one astronomical unit (1 au=1.5x108 km) from the Earth. Imagine that you stand near Mansueto Library, at the corner of 57th and Ellis. You hold a standard desk globe, which has a diameter of 12 inches, and you want to build a model of the Sun, Earth, and their separation that keeps all sizes and lengths in proportion to one another. a) How big would the Sun be in this scale model? Give your answer in feet and meters.
GMm F, r2 F(r = R) The surface gravity g of a body is. The acceleration due to gravity that an object m would feel on the surface of the body. A. Show that the surface gravity of Earth is ge = 9.8 m/s². B. Determine the surface gravity of the Sun. C. Determine the surface gravity of the Sun when it becomes a red giant star, assuming RG 1 AU. Use this answer to explain the significant mass loss rates observed in these objects.
1. Calculate the angle a person needs to lean from the vertical when 1. walking a 14 m (radius) circular track at 22 mins per mile, and Enter to 2 significant figures Angle with respect to the vertical = 0.85 X No, that's not the correct answer. O 2. running at 4 min per mile. Enter to 2 significant figures Angle with respect to the vertical = 6.8 Use 1 mile = 1609.4 m Sense-making: Do your results for the leaning angle during walking agree with your observations about people walking on circular tracks?
