Question

Use Kepler's third law to determine how many days it takes a spacecraft to travel in an elliptical orbit from a point 7 013 km from the Earth's center to the Moon, 385 000 km from the Earth's center.

Answer 1

Answer:

it takes 0.067 days for the space craft to orbit.

Explanation:

let a1 be the mean distance from the Earth's center to the moon

a2 be the mean distance from the Earth's center to the space craft

T1 be the period of orbit of the moon around the earth, T1 = 27.32 days

T2 is the period of the space craft orbit.
