文摘In this paper we calculate the volume, mass, gravitational attraction to the Earth, angular momentum the orbit of the Trojan asteroid (TK7) [1]. In this paper, we use classical Newtonian mechanics to analyse some of the physical and orbital properties of the Trojan asteroid, which are still experimentally unknown. The asteroid should remain in Earth’s orbit for the next 100 years. We conclude by providing informed estimates of 2010 TK7’s yet unknown physical properties: i.e. mass, volume, gravitational attraction to Earth and angular momentum.
