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.

Dacia wants to know how to determine the polar coordinate θ. What should Katarina tell Dacia?
crimeas [40]

Answer:

r = √ x² + y²   and θ = tan⁻¹ y / x

Explanation:

The polar coordinates are obtained by transforming the Cartesian coordinates (x y) into others (r tés), for this we use to find r the Pythagorean theorem

          r = √ x² + y²

To find teas we use trigonometries

       tan θ = y / x

      θ = tan⁻¹ y / x

In general the angle can be given in any unit, but the most used in physics is in radians

PLEASE HELP ILL MARK BRAINLIEST!!! A ball is initially thrown downwards with an initial speed of 20 m/s from the top of a 300 m
Sholpan [36]

Using the 3rd equation of motion:

= v² - u² = 2gs ------ [g = Acceleration due to gravity]

= v² - 20² = 2 × 10 × 300

= v² - 400 = 6000

= v² = 6000 - 400

= v = √5600

= v = 74.83 m/s

And yeah it's done :)

Which of these steps would most likely be part of a lab procedure?
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

These are a part of lab procedures:

1. Write a hypothesis to answer a question.

2. Write a title at the top of a completed lab report.

3. Record the time to complete a chemical reaction.

These are NOT a part of lab procedures:

1. Create a question on the cause of a chemical reaction.
