Hot Jupiters. In 2004 astronomers reported the discovery of a large Jupiter-sized planet orbiting very close to the star (hence the term 鈥渉ot Jupiter鈥). The orbit was just the distance of Mercury from our sun, and it takes the planet onlydays to make one orbit (assumed to be circular). (a) What is the mass of the star? Express your answer in kilograms and as a multiple of our sun鈥檚 mass. (b) How fast (in km>s) is this planet moving?
Comparing Example 12.1 (Section 12.1) and Example 12.2 (Section 12.2), it seems that 700 N of air is exerting a downward force of on the floor. How is this possible?
In describing the size of a large ship, one uses such expressions as 鈥渋t displaces 20,000 tons.鈥 What does this mean? Can the weight of the ship be obtained from this information?
The mass of Venus is 81.5% that of the earth, and its radius is 94.9% that of the earth. (a) Compute the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of Venus from these data. (b) If a rock weighs 75.0 N on earth, what would it weigh at the surface of Venus?
