Answer:

15km

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Average speed = 60km/hr

Time taken = 15min

Unknown:

Distance = ?

Solution:

The distance traveled can de derived using the expression below;

Distance = Average speed x time taken

Now let us convert the time to hr;

60min = 1hr

15min = $\frac{15}{60}$ = 0.25hr

Distance = 60km/hr x 0.25hr = 15km

Use the ratio version of Kepler’s third law and the orbital information of Mars to determine Earth’s distance from the Sun. Mars

zhuklara [117]

Kepler's third law is used to determine the relationship between the orbital period of a planet and the radius of the planet.

The distance of the earth from the sun is $1.50 \times 10^{11}\;\rm m$ .

<h3>What is Kepler's third law?</h3>

Kepler's Third Law states that the square of the orbital period of a planet is directly proportional to the cube of the radius of their orbits. It means that the period for a planet to orbit the Sun increases rapidly with the radius of its orbit.

$T^2 \propto R^3$

Given that Mars’s orbital period T is 687 days, and Mars’s distance from the Sun R is 2.279 × 10^11 m.

By using Kepler's third law, this can be written as,

$T^2 \propto R^3$

$T^2 = kR^3$

Substituting the values, we get the value of constant k for mars.

$687^2 = k\times (2.279 \times 10^{11})^3$

$k = 3.92 \times 10^{-29}$

The value of constant k is the same for Earth as well, also we know that the orbital period for Earth is 365 days. So the R is calculated as given below.

$365^3 = 3.92\times 10^{-29} R^3$
