Suppose we meet aliens who use the Zerf as a unit of mass and the Spund as a unit of force. One Spund is the weight of a mass of one Zerf on the surface of Mars. The gravitational acceleration on Mars is 3.7 m/s?. a.) What is gc in the alien system of units? Be sure to include the numerical value and the units. b.) How much would a 350 Zerf object weigh on the surface of Mars, in Spunds? c.) How much would a 350 Zerf object weigh on the surface of the Earth, in Spunds? d.) To which system of units is the Zerf-Spund system most similar, Sl or AE?
A new planet is discovered orbiting a distant star. Observations have confirmed that the planet has a circular orbit with a radius of 12 AU and takes 117 days to orbit the star. Determine the mass of the star. State your answer with appropriate mks units. [NOTE: AU ..stands.for...astronomical unit". It is the average distance between Earth & the Sun. 1 AU≈ 1.496 x 1011 m.] Enter a number with units. I be quite large and your calculator will display the answer as a power of 10. If, as an example, your answer was 8.54 x 1056, you would type "8.54e56" into the answer box (remember to state your units with your answer).]
