The length of a planet's orbit around a star is approximately 12,450,000 km. It takes the planet about 560 Earth days to complete a full orbit. What is the planet's average speed in kmh-1 to 3sf?

Respuesta :

Answer:

v=926.33 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

We have,

The length of a planet's orbit around a star is approximately 12,450,000 km. It takes the planet about 560 Earth days to complete a full orbit.

It means d = 12,450,000 km

Time, t = 560 Earth days

1 day = 24 hours

560 days = 13440 hours

Planet's average speed can be calculated as :

[tex]v=\dfrac{d}{t}\\\\v=\dfrac{12450000\ km}{13440\ h}\\\\v=926.33\ km/h[/tex]

So, the planet's average speed is 926.33 km/h.
