Question
Planet Radius of orbit (x 10 km) Mass (kg) 0.00 1.99 x 1030 Mercury 0.58 3.3 x 1023 1. For the solar system, graph the total mass within a given radius from the center. Mass data for the planets, in the table found in Part 1, have been reproduced below. The mass of the Sun is 1.99 × 1030 kg. (Hint: What object is at the center or zero point of the solar system?) Plot mass on the y-axis and radius of orbit on the x-axis. (See Graph #3.) It will be easier to plot the mass in terms of the number of Earth masses (column 4). Draw a smooth curve through the plotted points. Label the points you plotted: Sun, Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune. [Graph #3 is worth 10 pts] Sun The range of mass values for the solar system is huge. Use a logarithmic scale on the y-axis. From 0, make the first set of blocks go from 1-10. Make subsequent scale divisions as follows: Mass (x Earth's mass) 331,666.667 0.055 Set 2: 10-100 (102) Set 3: 100-1,000 (103) Venus 1.08 4.9 x 1024 0.817 Set 4: 1,000 to 10,000 (104) Earth 1.50 6.0 x 1024 1.000 Mars 2.28 6.4 x 1023 0.107 Jupiter 7.79 1.9 x 1027 316.667 Saturn 14.33 5.7 x 1026 95.000 Set 5: 10,000 to 100,000 (105) Set 6: 100,000 to 1,000,000 (10º) For each set, you will go in increments of 1s (ones), 10s (tens), 100s, 1,000s, 10,000s, and finally 100,000s. The top block on your graph paper will be 500,000, but you only need to graph the value 332,000,000 for the Sun's mass. Uranus 28.77 8.7 x 1025 14.500 Neptune 45.03 1.0 x 1026 16.667
