Europa orbits Jupiter at a distance of 6.7 x 108 m from Jupiter's cloudtops (the surface of the planet). If Jupiter's mass is 1.9 x 1027 kg and radius is 6.8 x 107 m, what is the speed of Europa as it orbits in m/s? Round to the nearest hundredth. Don't worry about putting units, just put the number.

Schwarzschild radius RS of a black hole is the maximum distance from the black hole’s center at which light cannot escape its gravitational field. The quantity RS (with dimensions of length) is dependent on the mass of the black hole M, the speed of light c, and the gravitational constant G. Based on the dimensions of these four parameters, predict an equation for the Schwarzschild radius. Hint: G has dimensions of [L3/MT2]

A Ferris wheel has a radius of 10 m, and the bottom of the wheel passes 1 m above the ground. If the Ferris wheel makes one complete revolution every 18 s, find an equation that gives the height above the ground of a person on the Ferris wheel as a function of time. (Let y be the height above the ground in meters and let t be the time in seconds. Assume that when t = 0 the person is 11 m above the ground and going up.) y = 10 m -1 m

Kepler's third law states that for any object in a gravitational orbit, P2∝a3P2∝a3 where PP is the orbital period of the object and aa is the average distance between the object and what it is orbiting. In our Solar System, the natural units are distances measured in astronomical units (A.U.) and orbital periods measured in years. This can be seen for the Earth-Sun system which has an orbital period P=1P=1 year and an average distance a=1a=1 AU. Using these natural units in the Solar System, the proportionality becomes an equality, so for our Solar System: (Pyears)2=(aA.U.)3(Pyears)2=(aA.U.)3 . Using your mathematical prowess, determine what the orbital period in years would be for an asteroid that was discovered orbiting the Sun with an average distance of 25 astronomical units.
