The mass of Venus is 4.868 × 10^24 kg and its orbital radius is an average of 1.082 × 10^11 m. Calculate its linear momentum. (The orbital period of Venus is 0.6150 years. Enter your answer in kg · m/s.)
Added by Josefina P.
Step 1
Given: r = 1.082 × 10^11 m T = 0.6150 years = 0.6150 x 365 x 24 x 3600 seconds = 1.941558 x 10^7 seconds Substitute the values: v = 2π(1.082 × 10^11) / (1.941558 x 10^7) v = 1.767 x 10^4 m/s Show more…

The orbit of the planet Venus is nearly circular with an orbital velocity of $126.5 \times 10^{3} \mathrm{km} / \mathrm{h}$. Knowing that the mean distance from the center of the sun to the center of Venus is $108 \times 10^{6} \mathrm{km}$ and that the radius of the sun is $695.5 \times 10^{3} \mathrm{km}$, determine (a) the mass of the sun, $(b)$ the acceleration of gravity at the surface of the sun.
