Which of the following answers describes Kepler's laws?a. Planets orbit in elliptical patterns; the bigger the planet, the more gravitational pull; a planet's gravitational pull is stronger or weaker depending on its distance from the Sun.

b. A planet's orbit covers equal distances in equal amounts of time; the speed of a planet's orbit depends on its distance from the Sun; the bigger the planet, the slower it moves.

c. Planets orbit in elliptical patterns; a planet's orbit covers equal areas in equal amounts of time; planets' orbits are shorter or longer depending on their distance from the Sun.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

The correct answer to the question is : C)  Planets orbit in elliptical patterns; a planet's orbit covers equal areas in equal amounts of time; planets' orbits are shorter or longer depending on their distance from the Sun.

EXPLANATION:

Before coming into any conclusion, first we have to understand three laws of Kepler on planetary motion.

First law: Every planets moves around the sun in elliptical orbits with the sun situated at one of their foci.

Second law: Planets sweep out equal areas in equal interval of time.

Third law: The square of time period of rotation of every planet is directly proportional to the cube of semi major axis.

Hence, from above we see that the option three corresponds to the Kepler's laws partially.

Hence, the correct statement is option three.

Answer 2
Answer:
Choices a). and b). each include some truth
mingled with some nonsense.

Choice c). is in fact a scientifically sloppy but intuitively
satisfying summary of Kepler's three laws of planetary motion.

State the law of universal gravitation, and use examples to explain how changes in mass and changes in distance affect gravitational force.

Answers

F(g)= Gm1m2/ r^2 If mass is increased, so will the force of gravity because it is in direct relationship with the gravitational force, but if distance is increased, the force of gravity will decrease because it is indirectly related ( since it is on the bottom of the equation)

A soccer ball is released from rest at the top of a grassy incline. After 4.1 seconds, the ball travels 43 meters and 1.0 s after this, the ball reaches the bottom of the incline. What was the magnitude of the ball's acceleration, assume it to be constant? Express your answer using two significant figures.

Answers

Answer:

The acceleration of the ball as it moves down the grassy incline, if constant, is 5.1 m/s²

Explanation:

Initial velocity, u = 0m/s

Acceleration = ?

Vertical distance covered as at t=4.1s, H = 43m

Using the equations of motion,

H = ut + 0.5at²

43 = 0 + 0.5a (4.1)²

a = 43/(0.5×4.1²) = 5.1 m/s²

How far will a you travel if you run for 10 minutes at 2 m/sec?

Answers

You would travel 1200 meters if you run for 10 minutes at 2 meters /second because the total distance traveled by any object is the multiplication of the speed of the object to the time taken to travel that distance.

What is speed?

The total distance covered by any object per unit of time is known as speed. It depends only on the magnitude of the moving object.

As given in the problem we have to find out the total distance traveled if one runs for 10 minutes at a speed of 2 meters / second.

The running speed = 2 meters / second

The time is taken while running = 10 minutes

                                              =10 ×60

                                              = 600 seconds

The distance traveled by you = 2 meters / second × 600 seconds

                                                  =1200 meters

Thus, the total distance traveled by you would be 1200 meters

What is the kinetic energy of a 1 kilogram ball is thrown into the air with an initial velocity of 30 m/sec

Answers

To find this we should use the equation Ek=1/2mv^2 where Ek is the kinetic energy, m is the mass and v is the velocity. So by this Ek=1/2*1*30^2 which then makes Ek=450 joules
