The gravitational force between the two objects is given by:
F=G  \frac{m_1 m_2}{d^2}
where
G=8.99 \cdot 10^{-11} m^3 kg^{-1} s^{-2} is the gravitational constant
m_1 = 1.99 \cdot 10^{30} kg is the Sun mass
m_2 = 3.30 \cdot 10^{23} kg is the mass of Mercury
and d is the distance between Sun and Mercury. Since we know the force:
F=8.99 \cdot 10^{21} N
we can re-arrange the formula to find d:
d= \sqrt{ G \frac{m_1 m_2}{F} }=6.98 \cdot 10^{10}m

The Moon and Earth rotate about their common center of mass, which is located about RcM 4700 km from the center of Earth. (This
erica [24]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to gravity as an expression of a celestial body, as well as the use of concepts such as centripetal acceleration, angular velocity and period.

PART A) The expression to find the acceleration of the earth due to the gravity of another celestial body as the Moon is given by the equation

g = \frac{GM}{(d-R_{CM})^2}

Where,

G = Gravitational Universal Constant

d = Distance

M = Mass

R_{CM} = Radius earth center of mass

PART B) Using the same expression previously defined we can find the acceleration of the moon on the earth like this,

g = \frac{GM}{(d-R_{CM})^2}

g = \frac{(6.67*10^{-11})(7.35*10^{22})}{(3.84*10^8-4700*10^3)^2}

g = 3.4*10^{-5}m/s^2

PART C) Centripetal acceleration can be found throughout the period and angular velocity, that is

\omega = \frac{2\pi}{T}

At the same time we have that centripetal acceleration is given as

a_c = \omega^2 r

Replacing

a_c = (\frac{2\pi}{T})^2 r

a_c = (\frac{2\pi}{26.3d(\frac{86400s}{1days})})^2 (4700*10^3m)

a_c = 3.34*10^{-5}m/s^2

What does Kepler's first law of planetary motion imply?
BlackZzzverrR [31]

<u>Answer:</u>

The correct answer option is D.  The distance between the planet and the Sun changes as the planet orbits the sun.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Kepler’s laws of planetary motion, derived by the German astronomer Johannes Kepler, are the laws of physics that describe the motions of the planets in the solar system.

According to the Kepler's first law of planetary motion: the path on which the planets orbit around the sun is elliptical in shape, with the center of the sun at one focus.

Therefore, the distance between the Sun and the planets vary as the planet orbit around the sun.
