Question

Jupiter orbits the sun once every 4333 days in a circle of radius 7.79 * 10^10 m. What is Jupiter’s velocity

Answer 1

Answer:

$Velocity = 1306.76$m/s

Explanation:

Given

$r = 7.79 * 10^{10}m$

$Time = 4333 days$

Required

Determine Jupiter's velocity

First, we calculate the circumference (C) of Jupiter:

$C = 2\pi r$

Substitute values for r and $\pi$

$C = 2 * 3.14 * 7.79 * 10^{10}m$

$C = 489212000000m$

Next, convert time to seconds:

$Time = 4333 days$

$Time = 4333 * 60 * 60 * 24s$

$Time = 374371200s$

The velocity is then calculated as:

$Velocity = \frac{Circumference}{Time}$

$Velocity = \frac{489212000000m}{374371200s}$

$Velocity = 1306.76$m/s

Hence, Jupiter's velocity is 1306.76m/s
