- Using the public data from Hubble Space Telescope, a citizen scientist discovers a previously unknown body between Mars and Jupiter. Excited at the discovery, the scientist determines that the orbital distance of the body from the Sun is 4 times the Earth's distance from the Sun. From this information, the citizen scientist determines the period of its revolution to be a. one fourth year b. 16 years c. 4 years d. 8 yearsarrow_forwardil Scientists want to place a 3600 kg satellite in orbit around Mars. They plan to have the satellite orbit at a speed of 2334 m/s in a perfectly circular orbit. Here is some information that may help solve this problem: mmars = 6.4191 x 1023 kg mars = 3.397 x 106 m G = 6.67428 x 10-11 N-m²/kg²arrow_forward6. True or false, if Earth were twice as massive but it revolved at the same distance from the sun, it's orbital period would be 2.88 yearsarrow_forward
