    Question 2b
    A moon is in a circular orbit r about a planet. The angular speed of the moon in its orbit is ω. The planet and its moon may be
    considered to be point masses that are isolated in space.
    r and ω are related by the expression
    r3ω2 = constant
    Io and Europa are moons that are in circular orbits around the planet Jupiter.
    Data for Io and Europa are shown in Fig 1.1.

    period of rotation around Jupiter /


    moon radius of orbit / km
    hours
    Io 422 000 42.5
    Europa 670 900
    Fig 1.1
    Use the data from Fig 1.1. to determine the angular speed of Europa in its orbit around Jupiter.
    [3 marks]

    Question 2c
    Calculate the time period of Europa.

    T = ................................ years
