Question: A NEO distance from the Sun is 1.17 AU. What is the speed of the NEO (round your answer to 2 decimal places)

Respuesta :

Answer:

  v = 2.75 10⁴ m / s

Explanation:

For this exercise we must use Kepler's third law which is an application of Newton's second law to the solar system

            F = ma

where force is the force of gravity

            F = [tex]G \frac{m M}{r^2}[/tex]

acceleration is centripetal

             a = [tex]\frac{v^2}{r}[/tex]

we substitute

           G m M / r² = m v² / r

           [tex]\frac{GM}{r}[/tex] = v²

           v = [tex]\sqrt{GM/r}[/tex]

indicate that the radius of the orbit is r = 1.17 AU, let's reduce to the SI system

            r = 1.17 AU (1.496 10¹¹ m / 1 AI) = 1.76 10¹¹ m

let's calculate

         v = [tex]\sqrt{\frac{6.67 \ 10^{-11} 1.991 \ 10^{30} }{ 1.76 \ 10^{11}} }[/tex]Ra (6.67 10-11 1.991 10 30 / 1.76 10 11

         v = [tex]\sqrt{7.5454 \ 10^8 }[/tex]ra 7.5454 10 8

         v = 2.75 10⁴ m / s
