A satellite of mass m is in a circular orbit of radius R2 around a spherical planet of radius R1 made of a material with density

rho. ( R2 is measured from the center of the planet, not its surface.) Use G for the universal gravitational constant.

Answer: The gravitational force Fg exerted on the orbit by the planet is Fg = G 4/3πr3rhom/ (R1 + d+ R2)^2

Explanation:

Gravitational Force Fg = GMm/r2----1

Where G is gravitational constant

M Mass of the planet, m mass of the orbit and r is the distance between the masses.

Since the circular orbit move around the planet, it means they do not touch each other.

The distance between two points on the circumference of the two massesb is given by d, while the distance from the radius of each mass to the circumferences are R1 and R2 from the question.

Total distance r= (R1 + d + R2)^2---2

Recall, density rho =

Mass M/Volume V

Hence, mass of planet = rho × V

But volume of a sphere is 4/3πr3

Therefore,

Mass M of planet = rho × 4/3πr3

=4/3πr3rho in kg

From equation 1 and 2

Fg = G 4/3πr3rhom/ (R1 + d+ R2)^2

Explain why cooler stars are red and hotter stars are blue
sergey [27]
More cool stars produce much of their light in the red part of the spectrum, so you see them, and bam, the color red. More hot stars, however, produce much more of their light in the green and or yellow spectrums, with much more tinier amounts of red / blue. This balance of the colors, your eye, sees simply as white. The more hot something is, the greater frequency of radiation it produces! Blue light has a higher frequency than red light, so the stars that glow red are cooler, than the stars that glow blue. :)

Hope this helped!
