To solve the problem of finding the ratio of speeds of two planets A and B at distances \(10^9\) m and \(10^{11}\) m from the sun, we can use Kepler's Third Law of planetary motion. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of the solution: ### Step 1: Understand Kepler's Third Law Kepler's Third Law states that the square of the time period \(T\) of a planet is directly proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis \(s\) of its orbit: \[ T^2 \propto s^3 \] For circular orbits, the semi-major axis \(s\) is equivalent to the radius \(R\) of the orbit. ...
