Question

Io, one of Jupiter's satellites, has an orbital period of $1.77 \mathrm{~d}$. Europa, another of Jupiter's satellites, has an orbital period of about $3.54$ d. Both moons have nearly circular orbits. Use Kepler's third law to find the distance of each satellite from Jupiter's center. Jupiter's mass is $1.9 \times 10^{27} \mathrm{~kg}$.

Step 1

Convert the orbital periods of Io and Europa to seconds: $T_{Io} = 1.77 \mathrm{~d} \times 24 \frac{\mathrm{h}}{\mathrm{d}} \times 3600 \frac{\mathrm{s}}{\mathrm{h}} = 152928 \mathrm{~s}$ $T_{Europa} = 3.54 \mathrm{~d} \times 24 \frac{\mathrm{h}}{\mathrm{d}} Show more…
