Problema Solution
jupiter travels in an orbit around the sun with radius of approximately 500000000 miles. if it takes 11.2 years to make one orbit, calculate its speed and express in mph to the nearest 10 mph
Answer provided by our tutors
let
d = 500000000 miles
t = 11.2 years = 11.2*365*24 hours
v = the speed in mph
v = d/t
v = 500000000/(11.2*365*24)
v = 5,096.22 mph
