Answer:

  r = 3.787 10¹¹ m

Explanation:

We can solve this exercise using Newton's second law, where force is the force of universal attraction and centripetal acceleration

    F = ma

    G m M / r² = m a

The centripetal acceleration is given by

    a = v² / r

For the case of an orbit the speed circulates (velocity module is constant), let's use the relationship

    v = d / t

The distance traveled Esla orbits, in a circle the distance is

    d = 2 π r

Time in time to complete the orbit, called period

     v = 2π r / T

Let's replace

    G m M / r² = m a

    G M / r² = (2π r / T)² / r

    G M / r² = 4π² r / T²

    G M T² = 4π² r3

     r = ∛ (G M T² / 4π²)

Let's reduce the magnitudes to the SI system

     T = 3.27 and (365 d / 1 y) (24 h / 1 day) (3600s / 1h)

     T = 1.03 10⁸ s

Let's calculate

      r = ∛[6.67 10⁻¹¹ 3.03 10³⁰ (1.03 10⁸) 2) / 4π²2]

      r = ∛ (21.44 10³⁵ / 39.478)

      r = ∛(0.0543087 10 36)

      r = 0.3787 10¹² m

      r = 3.787 10¹¹ m

Which law of motion describes squeal and oppisit forces of action and reaction​
Rom4ik [11]

These two forces are called action and reaction forces and are the subject of Newton's third law of motion. Formally stated, Newton's third law is: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. The statement means that in every interaction, there is a pair of forces acting on the two interacting objects.


Hope this helps! :)
