Using only astronomical data from the Appendix E in the textbook, calculate the speed of the planet Venus in its essentially circular orbit around the sun.
Venus = 4.87x10^24

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]v=3.49\times 10^4\ m/s[/tex]

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of Venus, [tex]M_V=4.87\times 10^{24}\ kg[/tex]

We know that,

Mass of Sun, [tex]M_s=1.98\times 10^{30}\ kg[/tex]

The distance between the center of Sun and the center of Venus is [tex]1.08\times 10^{11}\ m[/tex]

We need to find the peed of the planet Venus in its essentially circular orbit around the sun. using the formula,

[tex]v=\sqrt{\dfrac{GM_s}{r}}[/tex]

Put all the values,

[tex]v=\sqrt{\dfrac{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 1.98\times 10^{30}}{1.08\times 10^{11}}}\\\\v=3.49\times 10^4\ m/s[/tex]

So, the speed of the planet venus is [tex]3.49\times 10^4\ m/s[/tex].
