keplers law tells me that the square of the period is equal to the cube of the au. aphelion is the farthest distance from the sun and perihelion is the closest.
Taking the mass of Earth as 6 x 1024 kg and its radius to be 6400 km, (corresponding to a value for g of 9.77 m/s2 at the Earth's surface) what is the value for g to 2 decimal places at an elevation of 1700 km?
I know that Newtons laws fall into here somewhere but I am having some trouble...
A comet has a perihelion distance of 0.29 A.U. and an orbital period of 77 years. To the nearest thousandth of an A.U., what is its aphelion distance from the Sun?
I know that keplers third law plays a part in this p2=a3 but I just can't plug it in right. I know the answer is 35.908 but I...
well for the first question i know frequency=1/period...which doesn't make any sense to me.
on the 2nd i know that the ultraviolet is hotter but i don't how to find the temperature to put it into wiens formula
the next problem assumes i got the previous question right. i didn't
with the next...
I am having a hard time with these astronomy questions. Our teacher gives us no help and I am lost with this stuff. If anybody could help me out not just with the answer but on How to do it I would be most appreciative.
What would be the frequency of an electromagnetic wave having a...
