Question

What is the experiment called which finds out how the mass of a planet effects the time taken to complete one orbit? Plz plz plz answer

Answer 1

Answer:There are two expressions for it

1) GMm/r²=mv²/r

equating gravitational force and centripetal force, we get

v = √(GM/r)

where G is gravitational constant, M mass of planet, m mass of object revolving around the planet, r distance between planet and object,v is velocity of object revolving around the planet.

T = 2πr/v.

Time period of of object revolving around the planet.
