Kepler’s Third Law of Orbital Motion states that you can approximate the period P (in Earth years) it takes a planet to complete one orbit of the sun using the function , where d is the distance (in astronomical units, AU) from the planet to the sun. How many Earth years would it take for a planet that is 6.76 AU from the sun?

Where is the function?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oops, sorry the function is P=d^3/2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

simply substitute d=6.76 and get the answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh yay! thanks so much! I got 154.46

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right!
