Question

Can anyone help me with Kepler's third law? I need an example problem ,so I'll get it, right now I'm just on how to solve it

Answer 1

The average orbital distance of Mars is 1.52 times the average orbital distance of the Earth. Knowing that the Earth orbits the sun in approximately 365 days, use Kepler's law of harmonies to predict the time for Mars to orbit the sun.

Answer 3

Again

Galileo is often credited with the early discovery of four of Jupiter's many moons. The moons orbiting Jupiter follow the same laws of motion as the planets orbiting the sun. One of the moons is called Io - its distance from Jupiter's center is 4.2 units and it orbits Jupiter in 1.8 Earth-days. Another moon is called Ganymede; it is 10.7 units from Jupiter's center. Make a prediction of the period of Ganymede using Kepler's law of harmonies.

Answer 5

I just need like an example on how to solve it out ,so I can figure this problem out myself with all the units my teacher gave me
