Step 1
Given: Distance between Venus and the sun = 109 million kilometers = \(109 \times 10^6\) kilometers = \(109 \times 10^6 \times 10^3\) meters = \(109 \times 10^9\) meters = \(1.09 \times 10^{11}\) meters. Show more…

What is the acceleration of Venus toward the Sun, assuming a circular orbit?
Timothy J.
The orbit of Venus is approximately circular. The masses of the Sun and Venus are 1.99 * 10^30 kg and 4.83 * 10^24 kg, respectively. The Sun-Venus distance is 1.08 * 10^8 km. Determine the centripetal acceleration of Venus.(5K)
Kshipra R.
The planet Venus revolves around the Sun once every 224.7 days. The radius of Venus' orbit around the Sun is about R = 1.082 x 10^11 m. The radius of the Sun is Rsun = 6.96 x 10^8 m. (2 pts) Assuming a circular orbit of Venus around the Sun, calculate the speed of Venus in m/s around the Sun? (2 pts) What is the angular speed (omega) of Venus around the Sun in radians/sec? (2 pts) Assuming that Venus' orbit is circular around the Sun, what is the centripetal acceleration (ac) of Venus towards the Sun in m/s^2?
