Conclusion
1. Based on your results, imagine there was a moon orbiting Jupiter further than Callisto. Would this moon have a longer or shorter period than Callisto?
2. Which would have a more detrimental impact on your final Jupiter mass? A 10% error in your measurements of a or P? Why?
3. The orbit of Earth’s moon has a sidereal period of 27.3 days and an orbital radius (semi-major axis) of 2.57 × 103 A.U. (= 3.84 × 105 km). What is the mass of Earth? What are the units? Show vour work.
4. Using your result from the previous question, determine how much more massive Jupiter is compared to Earth (fractional, i.e. Jupiter is X times more massive than Earth). Show your work!
