Mars has an orbital radius of 1.523 AU and an orbital period of 687.0 days. What is its average speed v in SI units? (1 AU is the astronomical unit, the mean distance between the Sun and the Earth, which is 1.496×1011 m) a. 0.00221 AU/day b. 3838 m/s c. 0 d. 1.28×10−9 m/s
On the evening of an autumnal equinox day Siddhant noticed that Mars was exactly along the north-south meridian in his sky at the exact moment when the sun was setting. In other words, the Sun and Mars subtended an angle of exactly 90° as measured from the Earth. If the orbital radius of Mars is 1.52 au, What will be the approximate rise time of the mars on the next autumnal equinox day?
A new planet is discovered orbiting a distant star. Observations have confirmed that the planet has a circular orbit with a radius of 12 AU and takes 117 days to orbit the star. Determine the mass of the star. State your answer with appropriate mks units. [NOTE: AU ..stands.for...astronomical unit". It is the average distance between Earth & the Sun. 1 AU≈ 1.496 x 1011 m.] Enter a number with units. I be quite large and your calculator will display the answer as a power of 10. If, as an example, your answer was 8.54 x 1056, you would type "8.54e56" into the answer box (remember to state your units with your answer).]
You may attempt this question 3 more times for credit. In this problem, we will directly calculate the surface gravity and your weight on another planet. In metric, your weight is measured in "Newtons", and 1 Newton = 1 kg m / s². Newton's constant G = 6.67 x 10-11 m³/(kg s²). Earth has a mass = 5.97 x 1024 kg and a radius of 6378 km. You should be able to verify that g = 9.8 m/s² on Earth using the formula for surface gravity. If your mass is 64 kg, you should also be able to verify you should weigh 626 Newtons. If you can do that you should be OK for what's next. The mass of Venus is 4.87E+24 kg, and it's radius is 6.05E+3 km. What is the surface gravity of this planet? (Watch your units!). m/s² If your mass is 64 kg, what would you weigh on Venus? Newtons. Note: Remember if your answer requires scientific notation to use the "e" notation: "1.1 x 105" is "1.1e5" to OWL.
Average distance from Mars to the Sun: 1.524 x 106 A) using the fact that the sun subtends an angle of 0.5 degrees from the Earth, determine the angular size of the Sun from Mars.
A)At what altitude would a geostationary sattelite need to be above the surface of Mars? Assume the mass of Mars is 6.39 x 1023 kg, the length of a martian solar day is 24 hours 39minutes 35seconds, the length of the sidereal day is 24hours 37minutes 22seconds, and the equatorial radius is 3396 km. The answer can be calculated using Newton's verison of Kepler's third law.
Consider the Earth's orbit around the Sun to be circular with radius R = 9.30 x 107 mi and it takes 365 days to complete one revolution. What is the distance Earth traveled for one revolution (circumference of a circle is 2??2πR )?

Determine what the period of revolution of the Earth would be if its distance from the Sun were 3.5 AU rather than 1 AU. Assume that the mass of the Sun remains the same. The final unit should be y in the answer.
The average orbital distance of Mars is 1.52 times the average orbital distance of the Earth. Knowing that the Earth orbits the sun in approximately 365 days, use Kepler's law of harmonies to predict the time for Mars to orbit the sun.
