Are Kepler’s laws purely descriptive, or do they contain causal information?
If a planet were to slowly migrate inward toward the Sun while remaining in a stable orbit, would its orbital speed increase, decrease, or stay the same? Would its angular momentum change? Which of Keplers laws or Newtons version of Keplers laws does this scenario describe?
Explain how Kepler was able to find a relationship (his third law) between the orbital periods and distances of the planets that did not depend on the masses of the planets or the Sun.
Are Kepler’s laws purely descriptive, or do they contain causal information? Why?
Use the Law of Gravitation with Kepler's third Law to determine the mass of the Sun. Don't forget to include units!
Newton’s law of gravitation and the formula for centripetal acceleration can be used to show that: T^2=(4π^2/Gms)R^3 where G is the universal constant of gravitation and MS is the mass of the Sun. Take logarithms to base 10 of both sides of the equation to complete the expression for 2 lg T.2 lg T = ……………… × lg R + ……………………
a) Sketch the earth and mars, showing the center of the planets being separated by a distance d = 3 x 10^11 m. b). Use Newton's Universal Gravitation equation to determine the gravitational force of attraction between earth and mars at that distance given G= 6.7 x 10^-11 N x m^2/kg^2, mass of earth = 6 x 10^24 kg, mass of mars = 6.4 x 10^23 kg
You may have an image of Sir Isaac Newton sitting under a tree and after being hit on the head by an apple he suddenly "discovered" the Law of Universal Gravitation. In fact, the theory was a result of years’ worth of research, which in turn was based on centuries of accumulated knowledge. He is credited with determining that the following relationship is universal. The gravitational attraction between two objects varies jointly with their masses (m1 and m2) and inversely with the square of the distance (d) between them. By what percent does the force of gravitational attraction change if one mass is increased by 20%, the other mass decreased by 20%, and the separation is reduced by 25%?
Kepler’s Law relates the period T ( in a sec) of a satellite to the distance from the center of the earth r (in m) to some physical constants as shown: T2 = (2π/ G ME) r3 Where G = Universal Constant of Gravitation and ME is the mass of the earth. A stationary satellite is one that circles the earth in a circular orbit but stays exactly above the same spot on the earth. Calculate the distance above the earth in m for this “geo-synchronous satellite” to orbit, then convert that height to miles.
Can someone please explain it to me ASAP?!!!! This is universal law of gravity
Derive the third Kepler’s law for circular orbits.
The mass of planet X is 6.4 x 1023 kg and the aceleration of gravity on its surface is 3.7 m/s², if the gravitational constant G = 6.67 x 10-11 N.m²/kg², the radius of this planet R is a) 3.40 x 106 m c) 4.03 x 106 m e) 1.15 x 1013 m b) 2.98 x 106 m d) 7.56 x 106 m.
