Sun Jupiter R=5.2 AU P=11.8 yr Saturn R=9.5 AU P=29.5 yr
Mjup / Msun = 1/1000 Configuration 1 Msat / Msun = 1/3500 A) Jupiter is speeding up and Saturn is slowing down B) Jupiter is slowing down and Saturn is speeding up C) Jupiter and Saturn are both speeding up D) Jupiter and Saturn are both slowing down E) Neither planet is changing speed
Configuration 2 Choose all that apply A) Jupiter is moving faster than its average orbital speed B) Jupiter is moving slower than its average orbital speed C) Saturn is moving faster than its average orbital speed D) Saturn is moving slower than its average orbital speed E) Both planets are moving at their average orbital speed
Mjup / Msun = 1/1000 Configuration 3 Msat / Msun = 1/3500 A) Jupiter is speeding up and Saturn is slowing down B) Jupiter is slowing down and Saturn is speeding up C) Jupiter and Saturn are both speeding up D) Jupiter and Saturn are both slowing down E) Neither planet is changing speed
Mjup / Msun = 1/1000 Msat / Msun = 1/3500 Saturn s average orbital speed is about 10 km/sec. The gravity of Jupiter probably changes Saturn s orbital speed by roughly: A) 1 km/sec B) 10 meters/sec C) 10 millimeters/sec D) No change at all
