Question

The paths of two small satellites, M1 = 2.00 kg and M2 = 5.00 kg, are shown below, drawn to scale, with M1 corresponding to the circular orbit. They orbit around a massive star, also shown below. The orbits are in the plane of the paper. The period of M1 is T1 = 36.0 years. Calculate the period of M2, in years.

Explanation / Answer

R1 = 2units

R2 = 5units

we know that

T is directly proportional to R^1.5

T2/T1 = (R2/R1)^1.5

T2 = 36 x3.9

T2 = 142.3 years
