Answer: |F| = 1.28 x 10⁵ N

Explanation:

an impulse results in a change of momentum

FΔt = mΔv

F = m(vf - vi)/t

F = 2000(0 - 32) / 0.5

F = -128,000

|F| = 1.28 x 10⁵ N

An exoplanet is in an elliptical orbit around a distant star. At its closest approach, the exoplanet is 0.540 AU from the star a

atroni [7]

Answer:

0.71121 km/s

Explanation:

$v_1$ = Velocity of planet initially = 54 km/s

$r_1$ = Distance from star = 0.54 AU

$v_2$ = Final velocity of planet

$r_2$ = Final distance from star = 41 AU

As the angular momentum of the system is conserved

$mv_1r_1=mv_2r_2\\\Rightarrow v_1r_1=v_2r_2\\\Rightarrow v_2=\frac{v_1r_1}{r_2}\\\Rightarrow v_2=\frac{54\times 0.54}{41}\\\Rightarrow v_2=0.71121\ km/s$
