Assume that you are in another solar system and provided with the set of data given below consisting of the planets’ semi-major axes and time periods. Can you infer the relation connecting semi-major axis and time period?

If the masses and mutual distance between the two objects are doubled, what is the change in the gravitational force between them?

If the angular momentum of a planet is given by `vec"L" = 5"t"^2hat"i" - 6"t"hat"j" + 3hat"k"`. What is the torque experienced by the planet? Will the torque be in the same direction as that of the angular momentum?

Suppose unknowingly you wrote the universal gravitational constant value as G = 6.67 × 10¹¹. instead of the correct value, G = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹, what is the acceleration due to gravity g' for this incorrect G? According to this new acceleration due to gravity, what will be your weight W'?
