- EAn astronaut arrives on the planet Oceania and climbs to the top of a cliff overlooking the sea. The astronaut's eye is 100 m above the sea level and he observes that the horizon in all directions appears to be at angle of 5 mrad below the local horizontal. What is the radius of the planet Oceania at sea level? How far away is the horizon from the astronaut? 6000 km and 50 km 3600 km and 20 km 2000 km and 40 km 8000 km and 40 kmIf city is located in 2.8° north latitude and 46.0° east longitude. From there, you want to fly to a city in 7° north latitude and 52° east longitude. How much is the arc length of the big circle at 11000 m when the earth's radius is 6370 km? The arc length is 14223 km. Give your answer rounded to one kilmetre. Your last answer was interpreted as follows: 14223 XAnswer is incorrect. Keep centre of Earth as origin and define vectors to cities. Try again.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.
- (a) Jupiter's third-largest natural satellite, Io, follows an orbit with a semimajor axis of 422,000 km (4.22 ✕ 105 km) and a period of 1.77 Earth days (PIo = 1.77 d). To use Kepler's Third Law, we first must convert Io's orbital semimajor axis to astronomical units. One AU equals 150 million km (1 AU = 1.50 ✕ 108 km). Convert Io's a value to AU and record the result. aIo = AU (b) One Earth year is about 365 days. Convert Io's orbital period to Earth years and record the result. PIo = yr (c) Use the Kepler's Third Law Calculator to calculate Jupiter's mass in solar units. Record the result. MJup(Io) = MSun (d) Based on this result, Jupiter's mass is about that of the Sun. Jupiter has a similar fraction of the Sun's volume. The two objects therefore have rather similar density! In fact, Jupiter has a fairly similar composition as well: most of its mass is in the form of hydrogen and helium.The average Earth-Moon distance is 3.84 X 10^5 km, while the Earth-Sun is 1.496 X 10^8 km.
