Условие
Two stationary observers at a distance 100 AU from the sun observe transits of Mercury across the diameter of the Sun’s disk when Mercury is at perihelion and aphelion respectively. Which of the following is closest to the ratio of the aphelion transit time to the perihelion transit time? You are given that the semi-major axis and eccentricity of Mercury’s orbit are 0.387 AU and 0.21 respectively.
A. 1:1
B. 2:1
C. 4:1
D. 8:1
Отговори
B
The key prints „B: 1.5:1“, while option B reads 2:1; the key's working gives 59.26:38.69, approximately 1.5:1.
Решение
Solution: B: 1.5:1
The perihelion and aphelion distances of Mercury are 0.3057 AU and 0.4683 AU respectively. Thus, the speeds of Mercury at these positions are 38.69 km/s and 59.26 km/s respectively and these will be directly proportional to the angular speeds of Mercury as seen by the observers. Thus, the ratio of the times of transit will be 59.26:38.69 or approximately 1.5:1.
