Question 50

Multiple Choice

You are the science officer on a visit to a distant solar system.Prior to landing on a planet you measure its diameter to be 1.8 × 107 m.You have previously determined that the planet orbits 2.9 × 1011 m from its star with a period of 402 earth days.Once on the surface you find that the acceleration due to gravity is 19.5 m/s2.What are the masses of (a) the planet and (b) the star? (G = 6.67 × 10-11 N ∙ m2/kg2)
