Question
Chapter 2, Problem 1CC
To determine
Whether Jupiter is within the outline of the body of “the bull”, since it is said that Jupiter is in the constellation of Taurus the Bull. Also state the condition necessary for the same to be possible.
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 1CC
Solution:
No, as it is very far away from the asterism.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
A collection of stars can be classified using two distinctions, constellation and asterism. Constellation is an officially recognized area in the sky occupied by the stars, whereas asterism is not an officially recognized area.
Explanation:
Jupiter is not present in the asterism which comprises the outline of the body of “the bull”. This is because Jupiter is present very far away from the asterism, and is present only in the rectangular boundary of Taurus the Bull.
Conclusion:
Therefore, Jupiter is not within the boundary of the Taurus.

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.
In the Tsiolkovsky's equation, the parameter “delta v”, could I use “delta v”as “v” in the equation v=sqrt(GM/r) or are they different. For example if a satellite is in a geosynchronous orbit with a “delta v” of 2km/s, could I use the 2km/s to calculate the radius of orbit? Thanks
