Astronomers, who are interested in finding life elsewhere in the Universe, are searching for planets orbiting other stars. A planet will be too small to see, but still can cause a star to appear to wobble as the planet orbits it. One such wobbling star is 47 Ursae Majoris, which has a mass of 2.2 × 1030 kg. The period of its wobble is 9.2 × 107 s. From the wobble, the astronomers deduced that there is a planet of mass 4.5 × 1027 kg orbiting 47 Ursae Majoris with a force on the star due to this planet is about 7 × 1024 N. A) calculate the orbital distance of the planet from Ursae Majoris.

B) the star is orbiting about the centre of mass of the star/planet system. Calculate the speed of the star in its orbit.

Click the game tab at the bottom of the simulation and select level 1. (there is no seesaw balance for this part of the activity.) balance the first equation, and click check to see if you got it right. if you can’t balance it in the first try, you can try again. work through the five equations for level 1. click continue to go on to level 2, and later level 3. each level is more difficult than the one before. keep trying until all the equations are balanced. in one or two sentences, describe how you did in the balancing game. in a few more sentences, explain one strategy you learned for balancing more complex equations.
