Kepler derived his three laws of planetary motion entirely from
observations of the planets and their motions in the sky.
Newton published his law of universal gravitation almost a hundred
years later. Using some calculus and some analytic geometry, which
any serious sophomore in an engineering college should be able to do,
it can be shown that IF Newton's law of gravitation is correct, then it MUST
lead to Kepler's laws. Gravity, as Newton described it, must make the planets
in their orbits behave exactly as they do.
This demonstration is a tremendous boost for the work of both Kepler
and Newton.
Answer:
143
Explanation:
Using one of the 3 fundamental equations in physics, y=vo*t+1/2gt^2, we can use this equation to find the total distance that was traveled.
Acceleration due to gravity is always 9.8m/s^2 and time is 5.4s, we also have no initial velocity.
Given this, we can plug in the known variables.
y=0t+1/2*9.8*5^2
simplify,
y=4.9*5.4^2
y=4.9*29.16
y=142.884m which we can round up to 143 meters
Final Answer: 143 meters
They could change but most likely not
