The answer is 115000 Km/hr. How do you get that? Answer by ankor@dixie-net.com(22740) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! In 2005 a planet was found revolving about a distant sunlike star in 3.88 days. The radius of its orbit is 1700000 km.
what is its linear velocity (in km/h) about its star?
:
Assuming the orbit is circular, find the circumference dist, divide by the time,converted to hrs.
v =
v = 114706 km/hr
