- The existence of the dwarf planet Pluto was proposed based on irregularities in Neptune's orbit. Pluto was subsequently discovered near its predicted position. But it now appears that the discovery was fortuitous, since Pluto is small and the irregularities in Neptune's orbit were not well known. Answer the following to illustrate that Pluto has a minor effect on the orbit of Neptune compared with other planets. (a) Calculate the acceleration of gravity at Neptune due to Pluto when they are 3.8 x 1012 m apart. The mass of Pluto is 1.3 x 1022 kg. = 915 m/s² (b) Calculate the acceleration of gravity at Neptune due to Uranus, when they are 3.8 x 1012 m apart. The mass of Uranus is 8.68 x 1025 kg. 92 = m/s² Give the ratio of this acceleration to that due to Pluto. 92 91arrow_forwardA potential difference of 81 mV exists between the inner and outer surfaces of a cell membrane.

- You are the science officer on a visit to a distant solar system. Prior to landing on a planet you measure its diameter to be 1.50×107 m and its rotation period to be 22.3 hours. You have previously determined that the planet orbits 2.50×1011 m from its star with a period of 402 earth days. Once on the surface you find that the free-fall acceleration is 13.1m/s2. What is the mass of the planet? Express your answer with the appropriate units. What is the mass of the star? Express your answer with the appropriate units.arrow_forwardAn exotic planet Vogsphere is known to have a mass that is 1/81 that of the Earth and a radius 0.25 that of the Earth.
