Planet Vulcan.Suppose that a planet were discovered between the sun and Mercury, with a circular orbit of radius equal to of the average orbit radius of Mercury. What would be the orbital period of such a planet? (Such a planet was once postulated, in part to explain the precession of Mercury’s orbit. It was even given the name Vulcan, although we now have no evidence that it actually exists. Mercury’s precession has been explained by general relativity.)

Two identical stars with mass orbit around their center of mass. Each orbit is circular and has radius, so that the two stars are always on opposite sides of the circle. (a) Find the gravitational force of one star on the other. (b) Find the orbital speed of each star and the period of the orbit. (c) How much energy would be required to separate the two stars to infinity?
You are lost at night in a large, open field. Your GPS tells you that you are 122.0 cm from your truck, in a direction 58.0° east of south. You walk 72.0 m due west along a ditch. How much farther, and in what direction, must you walk to reach your truck?
