You are the science officer on a visit to a distant solar system. Prior to landing on a planet you measure its diameter to be 1.8  107 m and its rotation period to be 22.3 hours.
 
  You have previously determined that the planet orbits 1.8  1011 m from its star with a period of 402 earth days. Once on the surface you find that the acceleration due to gravity is 59.7 m/s2. What are the mass of (a) the planet and (b) the star? (G = 6.67  10-11 N  m2/kg2.)
  A) (a) 7.2 kg  kg, (b) 2.9 kg  kg
  B) (a) 1.3 kg  kg, (b) 2.9 kg  kg
  C) (a) 7.2 kg  kg, (b) 1.7 kg  kg
  D) (a) 1.3 kg  kg, (b) 1.7 kg  kg

Question 2

Find the orbital speed of an ice cube in the rings of Saturn. The mass of Saturn is 5.68  1026 kg and the rings have an average radius of 100,000 km. (G = 6.67  10-11 N  m2/kg2)
 
  A) 19.5 km/s
  B) 27.5 km/s
  C) 13.8 km/s
  D) 1.95 km/s

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
