Our models were very precise. We used the information given about the planets and the information given about planet x and y to figure out specific things about them. We figured out the Orbital period and Orbital velocity of plant x and y from using the distance from the sun.
Content
We designed 5 different models.
I could estimate the orbital location and force of gravity based on equations and information I was given.
I was given equationsÂ
-Orbital Period: 2 Pie R squared over velocity.
-Gravitational Force: Fg=Gm1m2 over distance squared
This equations also helped us figure out were the planets were.
Planet X-Orbital Period: 589.5 years
Orbital velocity: 3
F=48.4N
Planet Y- Orbital Period: 4.6 years
F=16.5N
Reflection
I feel like I worked better with Kyle because it was easier with just one partner for me. We worked well together and I liked this unit a lot to. Working on this project made me realize that my time management skills are not the greatest because I struggle with that and it is harder for me to focus sometimes. Also I feel like my conscientious learner ability was pretty good though because I enjoyed learning about this unit and working.
