Aplanet has been observed orbiting a nearby star. this star has a mass of 3.5 solar masses, and the planet is 4.2 au from the star. what is the planet’s orbital period in earth years? round your answer to the nearest whole number. __ earth years

4.6 years

Explanation:

This is solved using Kepler's third law which says:

Where

T = Orbital period of the planet (in seconds)

a = Distance from the star (in meters)

G = Gravitational constant

M = Mass of the parent star (in kg)

From the information given

We put this into Kepler's law and get:

This when converted to years is 4.6 years.

that would be b i just took the test : )

"i have always loved contemporary art and made it a general goal to work within the field. after a few nonprofit internships at museums and galleries, i decided to try the for-profit art world and was offered a job as the ad assistant at the magazine. i much prefer the pace of the for-profit art community and have stayed with the company for three years, with a promotion to an account manager last spring."
