Chemistry
1 answer:
gayaneshka [121]3 years ago
3 0

According to Kepler's  second law of orbital motion, a plane's orbital speed changes , depending on how far it is from the sun. The closer a planet is to the sun, the stronger the sun's gravitational pull on it, and the faster the planet moves.  The farther away from the sun, the weaker the sun's gravitational pull and the slower it moves in its orbit.

The orbit of a planet around the sun is not  a perfect circle, but  an ellipse - a flattened circle.

In terms of newtons 3rd law of motion desribe this picture.
KIM [24]
Newton's third law (for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction) means that in every interaction (in this case, that of the objects in the image), there is a pair of forces acting on the two interacting objects. <span>When you sit on a chair, your body exerts a downward force on the chair and the chair exerts an upward force on your body. There are two forces resulting from this interaction - a force on the chair and a force on your body. This is embodied in the image by the two objects exerting force on each other (indicated by the arrows).</span><span>

Hope this helps.</span>
