Question

you nave the datà and a graph for each moon. CALCULATIONS TABLE 2 Period Moon Amplitude JD days years AU Io Europa Ganymede Callisto You now have all of the information needed to complete the lab. but this information is not in the necessary units. You want the semi-major axis in units of AU, not in Jovian diameters (JDs) and you need the period in years not days. To convert from Jovian diameters to AU, divide the semi-major axis by 1050 Jovian diameters per AU. To convert from days to years, divide by 365.25 days per year. Record your results in Table 2. Calculate the mass of Jupiter in each of the four cases. Hint: If one of the values is very different from the other three, look for a source of error. Recheck your work. Perhaps the data are not adequate for a better result, in which case leave the value as you obtained it. Show all of your work below. Determine the average mass. 1. From Io 2. From Europa 3. From Ganymede M 4. From Callisto 5. Average MJ = solar masses (Mo) 7-8
