Keplers And Newtons Laws Flashcards
1
Q

A
The orbit of a planet is an ellipse with the Sun at one of the two foci
2
Q
What is Kepler’s second floor?
A
A line segment joining a plant and the sun sweeps out equal areas during equal intervals of time.
A1 = A2
Show using a elipse and faraway planet slower therefore less gap on elipse in same time frame
3
Q
What is keppler’s third law
A
The square of the orbital time period of a planet is proportional to the cube of its orbital distance
T^2 drp to r^3
