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.

A light bulb can be all of the following except
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer: A light bulb can be all of the following except option C (a consumer product if it is used to light the office of the board of directors.)

Explanation:

Products are classified as being BUSINESS or CONSUMER products according to the buyer's intended use of the product.

-Consumer products: these are sold goods that are used for personal, family, or household use. The intention of the buyer is for the products to satisfy his personal needs and desires. Example of some of the consumer products include: toothpaste, eatables and clothes.

Business products: products that are not for personal use but for the manufacturing of other goods are called business products.

Therefore a bulb is not serving as a personal use when used to light the office of the board of directors rather it's serving as a business product .
