Complete Question

Planet D has a semi-major axis = 60 AU and an orbital period of 18.164 days. A piece of rocky debris in space has a semi major axis of 45.0 AU.  What is its orbital period?

Answer:

The value  is  T_R  = 11.8 \  days  

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The semi - major axis of the rocky debris  a_R = 45.0\  AU

   The semi - major axis of  Planet D is  a_D  = 60 \  AU

    The orbital  period of planet D is  T_D = 18.164 \  days

Generally from Kepler third law

          T \  \ \alpha \ \ a^{\frac{3}{2} }

Here T is the  orbital period  while a is the semi major axis

So  

        \frac{T_D}{T_R}  =  \frac{a^{\frac{3}{2} }}{a_R^{\frac{3}{2} }}

=>     T_R  = T_D *  [\frac{a_R}{a_D} ]^{\frac{3}{2} }  

=>     T_R  = 18.164  *  [\frac{ 45}{60} ]^{\frac{3}{2} }

=>      T_R  = 11.8 \  days

diamong [38]

In the first direct detection of gravitational waves by LIGO in 2015, the waves came from the merger of two black holes. Option B is correct. This is further explained below.

<h3>What are gravitational waves?</h3>

A gravitational wave is simply defined as a ripple in space that is unseen though extremely rapid. Gravitational waves move at light speed. As they pass past, these waves compress and stretch everything in their path.

In conclusion, the merger of two black holes is the first direct detection of gravitational waves.
