If it takes a planet 2.8 × 108 s to orbit a star with a mass of 6.2 × 10^30 kg, what is the average distance between the planet and the star? 1.43 × 10^9 m 9.36 × 10^11 m 5.42 × 10^13 m 9.06 × 10^17 m

Answer

R=9.36*10^11 m

Explanation

Orbital velocity  v=√{(G*M)/R},

G = gravitational constant =6.67*10^-11 m³ kg⁻¹ s⁻²,

M = mass of the star

R =distance from the planet to the star.

v=ωR, with ω as the angular velocity and R the radius

ωR=√{(G*M)/R},

ω=2π/T,

T = orbital period of the planet

To get R we write the formula by making R the subject of the equation

(2π/T)*R=√{(G*M)/R}

{(2π/T)*R}²=[√{(G*M)/R}]²,

(4π²/T²)*R²=(G*M)/R,

(4π²/T²)*R³=G*M,

R³=(G*M*T²)/4π²,

R=∛{(G*M*T²)/4π²},

Substitute values

R=9.36*10^11 m
