    Kepler’s Laws & Universal Gravitation Worksheet

    1. Chiron is a small icy body that orbits the sun between Saturn and Uranus at an average
    distance from the sun that is 14 times that of Earth. What is the orbital period of Chiron in
    Earth years?

    2. The sun has a mass of 1.99 x 1030 kg and a radius of 6.96 x 108 m. What gravitational force
    would act on a 100 kg mass located on the surface of the sun?

    3. If the gravitational force between the electron (9.11 x 10–31 kg) and the proton (1.67 x 10–27
    kg) in a hydrogen atom is 1 x 10–47 N, how far apart are the two particles?

    Answers: (1) 52.4 years, (2) 27,401 N, (3) 1 x 10–10 m
