During this unit, we learned about the wonders of space. We learned about planets and gravity, and how they revolve around the sun.
For model 4, we had to look at the data given about the planets in our solar system, and try to find a pattern that we could make an equation for. We chose to look at the distance from the sun, and the orbital period, and try to calculate the orbital velocity. We used the equation V=2πr/T. With that we were then asked to calculate the orbital velocity of Planet X given the distance from the sun and orbital period.
For model 5
