Predict the position and momentum


A star of mass 16 × 10^30 kg is located at 6 × 10^12, 3 × 10^12, 0 m. A planet of mass 4 × 10^24 kg is located at 4 × 10^12, 8 × 10^12, 0 m and is moving with a velocity of 0.6 × 10^4, 1.2 × 10^4, 0 m/s.

Your task is to predict the motion of the planet in two steps, each of duration 9.0 x 10^7 seconds. This is a multipart tutorial question. You must get each question correct before you can go on to the next question. In the first time interval the calculations are broken down into their details. In the second time interval you are asked to work more independently, using what you practiced in the first time interval.Now the planet has a new position and a new momentum. Starting from these new conditions, predict the position and momentum that the planet will have after a second time interval of 9.0 10^7 s.
