Answer :

Answer: 4.97 years

Explanation: I got the answers right

By the use of the Kepler's laws, the period of the orbit is 5.22 years. Option D

What is the period?

We know that when we are dealing with the orbits that our mind would have to be turned to the Kepler's law. In the Keplers law, we see the relationship that cold be used in the attempt to connect the period of the orbit to the radius of the semi major axis of an orbiting body.

By the application of the Keplers third law;

T^2 = r^3

The statement of the law is that the square of the period of the objects orbit is equal to the cube of the length of the semi major axis.

We then know that;

T = period

r = distance

Hence;

T = r^3/2

T = (3.01 )^3/2

T = 5.22 years

The period of the object is seen to be 5.22 years from the calculation above.
