Two planets A and B, where B has twice the mass of A, orbit the Sun in elliptical orbits. The semi-major axis of the elliptical

Answer:

2.83

Explanation:

Kepler's discovered that the square of the orbital period of a planet is proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis of its orbit, that is called Kepler's third law of planet motion and can be expressed as:

$T=\frac{2\pi a^{\frac{3}{2}}}{\sqrt{GM}}$ (1)

with T the orbital period, M the mass of the sun, G the Cavendish constant and a the semi major axis of the elliptical orbit of the planet. By (1) we can see that orbital period is independent of the mass of the planet and depends of the semi major axis, rearranging (1):

$\frac{T}{a^{\frac{3}{2}}}=\frac{2\pi}{\sqrt{GM}}$

$\frac{T^{2}}{a^{3}}=(\frac{2\pi }{\sqrt{GM}})^2$ (2)

Because in the right side of the equation (2) we have only constant quantities, that implies the ratio $\frac{T^{2}}{a^{3}}$ is constant for all the planets orbiting the same sun, so we can said that:
