A planet moves fastest during its orbit around the Sun at the when

it is closest to the sun and gravity has a stronger pull

it is farthest from the sun and gravity has a stronger pull

it is closest to the sun and gravity has a weak pull

it is farthest from the sun and gravity has a weak pull

When farther away from the sun, planets travel

at the same speed as if closer to the sun

What happens to the velocity of a ball as it is dropped off a cliff?

It increases at a non-uniform rate

Why does Earth have different seasons?

because of the tilt of Earth on its axis as it moves around the sun

because of the distance between Earth and the sun

because of the speed of Earth as it rotates on its axis

because of the amount of light blocked by the moon on its axis

Given the image, “G” refers to

The gravitational constant (6,67x10 -11 Nm 2 /kg 2)

The acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s 2 ) on earth

Given the image, “r” refers to

The distance between the centers of the objects

The distance between the objects

The square of the distance between the centers of the objects

The distance between the square of the center objects

The center between the distance of the objects square

A book rests on a table. The force of gravity pulls down on the book with a force of 20 newtons. What prevents the books from accelerating downward at 9.8 m/sec 2

The table presses back up on the book with an equal and opposite force of 20 newtons.

The table presses back up on the book with a force greater than 20 newtons.

The table and the book together are accelerating downwards at 9.8 m/sec 2

The inertia of the book holds it up
