Question

4-part problem question..

Problem 1: Assume the scale of the image is 3.6 AU/millimeter. If 1.0 AU = 150 million kilometers and the distance from the center of the ring to the planet’s position in 2006 (at the center of the box containing the planet) is 48 millimeters when measured, how far was the planet from the star in 2006?
Problem 2: How any kilometers had the planet moved between 2004 and 2006? Use the following measurements in your calculations:
- Width of the box in the picture: 6 mm
- Width of the magnified box: 48 mm
- Distance traveled by the planet in the magnified

Answer 1

picture from 2004 to 2006: 4 mm
Problem 3: What is the average speed of the planet between 2004 and 2006 if 1 year = 8760 hours?
Problem 4: Assuming the orbit is circular, with the radius found from Problem 1, about how many years would it take the planet to make a full orbit around its star?

Answer 2

can you post a screenshot of the material?
