Which equation represents the relationship of the planet's period to its semimajor axis in data shown in the figure below? A) P = A B) P² = A² C) P³ = A² D) P² = A³ E) P= A³

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Kepler's Third Law states that the square of the period (P) of a planet is proportional to the cube of its semimajor axis (a). This equation can be written as P^2 = a^3. Looking at the answer choices, we can see that choice D has variables that match this equation: P² F1F1F1S1F1F1F10 A³. So, D is the correct choice.
