(a)

To determine

The time period required to complete one orbit of Uranus by a particle in the epsilon ring of Uranus.

(b)

To determine

The direction in which the cloud appears to a person, when the person is riding on any particle in the epsilon ring and watching the cloud near the equator of Uranus.

(a) What is the difference between the forces due to Uranus on a 1.0 kg mass located at the near side of Ariel and at the far side of Ariel? Ariel has a mean radius of 579 km and a mean orbital radius about Uranus of 199,900 km. (Enter the magnitude in newtons.) N (b) Compare this difference to the difference for Earth due to the Moon, 0.22 × 10' -5 N. (Tidal forces are the cause of volcanic activity on some moons.) ΔF, Ariel due to Uranus ΔF. Earth due to Moon
Calculate the Roche radius (in km) for Uranus. The diameter of Uranus is 5.11 ✕ 104 km.
Tutorial Based on the orbital properties of Uranus, how far across the sky in arc seconds does it travel in one Earth day? The average orbital radius is 2.88 x 109 km and the period is 84.0 years. (Assume Uranus and the Earth are at the closest point to one another in their orbits.) How many full Moons does this distance cover if the Moon has an angular diameter of 0.5 degrees? Part 1 of 4 We first need to determine how fast the planet is moving across the sky. If we know the period and the distance between the Sun and the planet we can calculate the velocity using: 2ar which will tell us how many kilometers the planet travels in a day if we convert the period into days. days = (P years' |days/year Pdays days Submit Skip (you cannot come back)
