How can we calculate the mass of an object in orbit by using the period and radius of its orbit?
To calculate the mass of an object in orbit, we can use the period and radius of its orbit by applying Newton's version of Kepler's third law. This formula states that the square of the period of an orbit is proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis of the orbit. By rearranging this formula and plugging in the known values of the period and radius, we can solve for the mass of the object.
Is a single orbit of a comet called a period?
Yes, the time it takes for a comet to complete 1 orbit is called a period.
If a space shuttle goes into a higher orbit what happens to its period?
If a space shuttle enters a higher orbit, its period increases. This is because the higher the orbit, the greater the distance to travel around the Earth, which results in a longer time for one complete orbit.
Which orbit in Keplers law would have the longest period?
An orbit with a large semimajor axis will have the longest period according to Kepler's third law. This means that an orbit with the greatest average distance from the central body will have the longest period.
What is the orbit period for Mars?
The orbit period for Mars is about 687 Earth days, or about 1.88 Earth years.
Is one year it takes a planet to orbit the sun?
A year (or orbital period) is defined as the period it takes a planet to orbit the Sun.
When a satellite is placed into a higher orbit what happens to its period?
Its period increases
How can one determine the period of orbit for a celestial body?
To determine the period of orbit for a celestial body, one can use Kepler's Third Law of Planetary Motion, which states that the square of the orbital period of a planet is directly proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis of its orbit. By measuring the semi-major axis of the orbit and the gravitational force acting on the celestial body, one can calculate the period of its orbit.
What is its orbit period for earth?
One year
What is orbit period for Venus?
2333 days
What is the Period of orbit of the sun?
The orbit of the sun (a cosmic year) is around 225 million years.
What is Europa's orbit period in earth time?
I found that Europa's orbital period is approximately three and a half days.
