Answer:
(3) The period of the satellite is independent of its mass, an increase in the mass of the satellite will not affect its period around the Earth.
(4) he gravitational force between the Sun and Neptune is 6.75 x 10²⁰ N
Explanation:
(3) The period of a satellite is given as;
where;
T is the period of the satellite
M is mass of Earth
r is the radius of the orbit
Thus, the period of the satellite is independent of its mass, an increase in the mass of the satellite will not affect its period around the Earth.
(4)
Given;
mass of the ball, m₁ = 1.99 x 10⁴⁰ kg
mass of Neptune, m₂ = 1.03 x 10²⁶ kg
mass of Sun, m₃ = 1.99 x 10³⁰ kg
distance between the Sun and Neptune, r = 4.5 x 10¹² m
The gravitational force between the Sun and Neptune is calculated as;
