For astronomical objects, the time period can be calculated using:
T² = (4π²a³)/GM
where T is time in Earth years, a is distance in Astronomical units, M is solar mass (1 for the sun)
Thus,
T² = a³
a = ∛(29.46²)
a = 0.67 AU
1 AU = 1.496 × 10⁸ Km
0.67 * 1.496 × 10⁸ Km
= 1.43 × 10⁹ Km

Answer:

For astronomical objects, the time period can be calculated using:

T² = (4π²a³)/GM

where T is time in Earth years, a is distance in Astronomical units, M is solar mass (1 for the sun)

Thus,

T² = a³

a = ∛(29.46²)

a = 0.67 AU

1 AU = 1.496 × 10⁸ Km

0.67 * 1.496 × 10⁸ Km

= 1.43 × 10⁹ Km

The average speed between earth and the sun is 1.50 x10^8 km. Calculate the average speed of the Earth in its orbit in kilometer
cluponka [151]

Answer:

The average speed of the earth in its orbit is 29.86km/s

Explanation:

The average distance between the Earth and the Sun is 1.50x10^{8} km.

The average speed of the earth in its orbit can be found by the next equation :

v = \frac{2 \pi r}{T}  (1)

Where r is the radius and T is the period.

In this case, the orbit of the Earth can be considered as a circle

(r = 1.50x10^{8}km) instead of an ellipse.

It takes 1 year to the Earth to make one revolution around the Sun. Therefore, its period will be 365.25 days.

Notice that to express the period in terms of seconds, the following is needed:

365.25d . \frac{86400s}{1d} ⇒ 31557600s

Then, equation 1 can be used:

v = \frac{2 \pi (1.50x10^{8}km)}{31557600s}

v = 29.86km/s
