The planet Jupiter has an orbital period of 4332.8 days, and its greatest distance (aphelion distance) from the Sun is 5.455 AU {where 1 AU € ≡ 1 Astronomical Unit = 1.496x1011 m}. The mass of the planet Jupiter is 1.898x1027 kg and the mass of the Sun is 1.988x1030 kg. {G = 6.67x10-11 N m2/kg2} (a) Calculate the perihelion distance (closest distance) in Astronomical Units (AU) of the planet Jupiter from the Sun. (b) Calculate the eccentricity of planet Jupiter’s orbit around the Sun. (c) Calculate the smallest speed of planet Jupiter around the Sun in km/s. At what point in Jupiter’s orbit does Jupiter have its smallest speed?
