Exoplanet Taphao Keow is a Jupiter-sized planet orbiting another star. It has a mass of approximately 1×10+27[kg]. Its actual radius is not currently known, but we do know that the radius of Jupiter is 7×107[m]. Question: If Taphao Keow had a radius that was the same radius as Jupiter, what would it's local surface gravitational acceleration be? O 266 [m/s2] 124 [m/s²] 70 [m/s²] O 24 [m/s²] O 14 [m/s²] It would have a gravitational acceleration far larger than any of the other answers (many orders of magnitude larger) It would have a gravitational acceleration far smaller than any of the other answers (many orders of magnitude larger)

Sphere A with mass 80 kg is located at the origin of an xy coordinate system; sphere B with mass 60 kg is located at coordinates (0.25 m, 0); sphere C with mass 0.20 kg is located in the first quadrant 0.20 m from A and 0.15 m from B. In unit-vector notation, what is the gravitational force on Cdue to AandB?
In this problem we are going to compare the strength of the gravitational interaction between the Moon and the Earth and the Sun and the Earth. We will do this by finding the gravitational field g due to the Moon or the Sun, which is the acceleration that the Earth would have if it were interacting with each of them. a) Calculate the magnitude of the gravitational field of the moon at the location of Earth, in meters per square second. b)Calculate the magnitude of the gravitational field of the Sun at the location of Earth, in meters per square second. c)Calculate the ratio of the gravitational field of the Sun to the gravitational field of the Moon, at the location of Earth.
A rocket moving around the earth at height "H", If the gravitational acceleration "gl" at height “H" is ½ of gravitational acceleration 'g' at earth surface. If Earth radius is"R", find "H" using R.
This is a proportional reasoning calculation. You will want to set up equations, but mostly to look at how the orbital distance affects the orbital velocity, or to set up a ratio. (Once you know how it changes you'll have to multiply by the value at the surface to get an answer in m/s.) At the surface of the exoplanet HD179079 b, the orbital velocity would be 1.72E+4 m/s. What would the orbital velocity be 8 radii above the surface? m/s. Note: If your answer requires scientific notation, remember that OWL uses "e" notation: 1.1 x 105 is 1.1e5 to OWL.
