Planets orbit the Sun in a shape called a(n)

circle

ellipse

focus

perihelion

Where is the planet moving faster

Position A to B

Position B to C

Position H to I

Position I to J

What is true about the area between points A, B and the Sun, and the area between points H, I and the Sun?

The area between A, B and the Sun is the largest.

The area between H, I and the Sun is the largest

Both areas are equal in size

There is not enough information to determine the areas

Kepler's 2nd Law deals with

the shape of the planets' orbits

the speed/area the planet travels

the length of time it takes the planet to orbit the sun

A planet moves __________ when it is farthest from the sun.

faster

slower

The farther away a planet is from the sun, the _______ it takes it to orbit the sun once.

longer

shorter

According to Kepler's 3rd law, the square of the time it takes for an object to orbit, T, is directly related to the cube of the distance, r, between the object and what it is orbiting.
What this means is that if a satellite moves away from what it is orbiting,

the larger the constant k is.

the smaller the constant k is.

the longer the orbital period is.

the shorter the orbital period is.

Kepler’s 3rd law states the square of the orbital period is proportional to the cube of the orbital radius. (T²=r³)

If a planet's orbital radius is doubled, what happens to the length of a year on that planet?

It will become twice as long

It will become about 8 times as long

It will become 2.8 times as long

It will remain the same

the larger the constant k is.

the smaller the constant k is.

the longer the orbital period is.

the shorter the orbital period is.

Which statement best describes Kepler’s 3^rd Law of Planetary Motion?

The closer a planet is to the sun, the shorter the orbital period is.

Planetary orbits are in the shape of an ellipse

The closer a planet is to its star, the lesser its orbital velocity.

11.

Which statement best describes Kepler’s 2^nd Law of Planetary Motion?

Penyataan yang manakah menerangkan Hukum Kepler Kedua?

A line that connects a planet to the Sun sweeps out equal areas in equal times.

Garis yang menyambungkan planet dengan Matahari akan mencakupi luas yang sama dalam selang masa yang sama apabila planet bergerak dalam orbitnya.

All planets move in elliptical orbits with the Sun at one focus.

Orbit bagi setiap planet adalah elips dengan Matahari berada di satu daripada fokusnya.

The square of the orbital period of any planet is directly proportional to the cube of the radius of its orbit.

Kuasa dua tempoh orbit planet adalah berkadar terus dengan kuasa tiga jejari orbitnya.

12.

Kepler's Law II

Kepler's Law III
