Two newly discovered planets follow circular orbits around a star in a distant part of the galaxy. The orbital speeds of the planets are determined to be 43.3 km/s and 58.6 km/s. The slpwer planet's orbital period is 7.60 years. (a) what is the mass of the star? (b)What is the orbital period of the faster planet, in years?

The orbital speed of planet 1.v, 43.3 km/s = 43300m/s The orbital speed of planet 2,, 58.6 km/s 58600m/s Orbital period ofor slower planet, T 7.60 year
Calculation:
As given orbitals speed of the planet the planet 1 is the slower planet,
The angular speed of the slower planet we have,
