asap do all steps please An asteroid in our Solar System has an eccentricity of 0.550 and a perihelion (closest to Sun) distance of 0.800 AU (Astronomical Units). a)What is its semimajor axis in AU? b)What is its orbital period in Earth years? (Hint: use the simpler form of Kepler’s law for orbitsaround our Sun. You do not need to know 1AU in m). c)What is the ratio of its maximum to minimum speedduring its orbit, vmax/vmin (3 sig figs)? (Hint: use a conservation law) d)Choose one: The asteroid’s total mechanical energy is: i) positive, ii) zero iii) negative, iv) any of theaboveare possible. e) The Earth’s orbit is very close to circular and draw it as acircle of radius 1AU (OK to trace sometime at least the size of a quarter or draw by hand). Label an “S” where the Sunis. Carefully mark theperihelion of the asteroid to the left of the Sun with a “P” and aphelion with an “A” to the right of the Sunto scale (use your ruler to measure it). Show the extent of the asteroid’s semimajor…
Directions: Choose the letter that corresponds to the best answer. 1. He is the scientist or philosopher responsible for the theory that proposed that planets, as well as the sun and the moon, moved in a circular motion around the earth.A. Claudius Ptolemy B. Copernicus C. Galileo D. Kepler 2. The following statements are reasons why the geocentric theory was believed or remained unquestioned for more than one (1) millennium, EXCEPT:A. This belief was aligned with the teachings of the church; thus cannot be questioned.B. Majority of the famous philosophers during that period in history supported the idea.C. There was no evidence to prove otherwise due to lack of astronomical instruments.D. People were busy with politics and economics hence it is the least of their concern. 3.

Aristotle v Developed a technique for measuring the circumference of the Earth long before anyone circumnavigated the globe with ships c. Eratosthenes D. Pythagoras v Used eclipses to confirm the shape of the Earth and that the Moon was closer to the Earth than the Sun despite the fact that they appear to be the same size in the sky E. Ptolemy v Brilliant geometric mind that was one of the first to propose that all of the heavenly bodies were spheres due to their perfect natures F. Hipparchus v Established the apparent magnitude system that we use to measure the brightness of stars and deduced that the direction of Earth's axis of rotation has changed over time
1. using Newton’s Law of Universal Gravitation and some kinematics calculation we can calculate the mass of the planet. For this, use this equation in the image: Given: - vmax = 1.5 m/s - Pstar = 3.5 days - Mstar = 1.148 Msun, where Msun = 1.98847×1030 kg. This calculation is not shown.
