Use Kepler's third Law to determine how many days it takes a spacecraft to travel in an elliptical orbit from a point 6670 km from earth's center to a point 385,000 km from earth's center(the mass of earth is 5.97*10^24 kg).
The mass of Jupiter is 1/1047 of the Sun's mass (that's 0.000955). We want to confirm this using Newton's version of Kepler's Third Law, following the examples in Lecture 7. We'll use the approximate data for two different moons of Jupiter to see how close the results are. Pick the closest answer in each case: (a) Ganymede is the third moon from the inside. It has an orbital period around Jupiter of approximately 0.0194 Earth years. Its semimajor axis is 0.0071 AU. Which of these comes closest to the mass of Jupiter (in solar masses) when using these data? (b) Europa is the second moon from the inside. It has an orbital period around Jupiter of approximately 0.0096 Earth years. Its semimajor axis is 0.0045 AU. Which of these comes closest to the mass of Jupiter (in solar masses) when using these data?
Because of its changing proximity to the Sun, which property does Kepler's Second Law of Planetary Motion predict will change during a planet's orbit? • Orbital speed • Orbital period • Orbital minor axis • Orbital eccentricity
Match Kepler Laws with the correct description. * Kepler's First Law Kepler's Second Law Kepler's Third Law A planet sweeps out equal areas in equal time frames as it orbits the Sun. Orbits are ellipses with the Sun at a focus. The orbital period is related to the average distance from the Sun.
