Question

The mass of the Sun is 2 × 1030 kg, and the mass of Saturn is 5.68 × 1026 kg. The distance between Saturn and the Sun is 9.58 AU. Veronica is solving the following equation to calculate the orbital period of Saturn, but there is an error in the equation. What should Veronica change to correct the equation?

a)change the position of 2 x 1030 kg and 9.58 AU
b)change 2 x 1030 kg to 5.68 x 1026 kg
c)change the square root to a cube root
d)change 9.58 AU to the distance in meters

Answer 1

Answer is D (Change 9.58AU to the distance in meters)

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because the SI unit for measuring distance is meters not AU. Beside the unit AU does not represent any mathematical unit under distance or motion.

Answer 2

D.) CHANGE 9.58 AU to the distance in meters
