You are the pilot of a spaceship (9.1835 × 104 kg) and you enter into elliptical orbit around an uncharted planet, Rosseforp. At
periapsis (closest approach to the planet), your ship is 4.5 × 107 m above the surface of the planet; at apoapsis (most distant) it is 2.257×108 m above the surface. The mass of Rosseforp is found by your ship’s equipment to be 1.96×1025 kg, and the period of your ship’s orbit is 83.37 hours
Find the following:i. the semimajor axis of your ship’s orbit,ii. the radius of planet Rosseforp,iii. the eccentricity of your ship’s orbit,iv. the speed of your ship at perihelion and aphelion,

Answer:
Check the explanation
Explanation:
The orbital period of a satellite that is given as (T) and the mean distance from the central body (R) are connected by the following equation: representing T as the satellite period, R will be represented as the average radius of orbit for the satellite (which is the distance from center of central planet)

Explanation:
Electromagnetic waves consist of oscillating electric and magnetic fields which vibrate in a direction perpendicular to the direction of motion of the wave (transverse wave). Electromagnetic waves have all same speed in a vacuum (, known as speed of light) and are classified into 7 different types according to their frequency and wavelength. This classification is called electromagnetic spectrum.
From lowest to highest wavelength, the 7 types are:
Gamma rays
X-rays
Ultraviolet radiation
Visible light
Infrared radiation
Microwaves
Radio waves
Sound waves, on the contrary, do not belong to the electromagnetic spectrum, since they are another type of wave called mechanical waves (which consist of vibrations of the particles in a medium).
