Kepler noticed an imaginary line drawn from a planet to the Sun and this line swept out an equal area of space in equal times, If we then draw a triangle out from the Sun to a planet’s position at one point in time, it is notice that the area doesn't change even after the planet has left the original position say like after 2 to 3days or 2hours. So to have same area of triangle means that the the planet move faster when that are closer to the sun and slowly when they are far from the sun.
This led to Kepler's law of orbital motion.
First Law: Planetary orbits are elliptical with the sun at a focus.
Second Law: The radius vector from the sun to a planet sweeps equal areas in equal times.
Third Law: The ratio of the square of the period of revolution and the cube of the ellipse semi-major axis is the same for all planets.
It is this Kepler's law that makes Newton to come up with his own laws on how planet moves the way they do.
The answer is C.) mass is the matter of an object
A) No, the equations presented above are the product of the derivation of position and velocity when the acceleration is constant.
The equations change to polynomial function of the second degree for the description of the acceleration when described as a function of time.
B) Yes, when the acceleration is zero it is concluded that the velocity is constant, therefore they could be used to describe the position as a function of the change in velocity.
Answer:
Object appears to move forward at 1 cm/sec, then the velocity drops to zero for 3 sec and then moves forward at 2 cm/sec (11 - 3) / (10 - 6) = 2 cm/sec
