Answer:
Mass of Jupiter = 4.173×10^15kg
Explanation:
Using Kepler's 3rd law, it states that the orbital period T is related to the distance,r as:
T^2 = GM/4 pi × r^3
Where G = universal gravitational constant
r = radius
M = masd of jupiter
Rearranging the formular to make M the subject of formular
T^2 × 4 pi = G M × r^3
(T^2 × 4 pi) / (G× r^3) = M
(1.24^2 × 4 × 3.142) /(6.672×10^-11)(4.11×10^8)^3
M = 19.32 /6.672×10^-11)(4.11×10^8)^3
M = 19.32 / 4.63 ×10^15
M = 4.173×10^15kg
Options a to c can be the reasons for scientific models.
But to primarily answer scientific questions,that would require an empirical and experimental approach and not use of models.
Though after getting the answers, models can be built to further explain the answers.
