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.

Explain the following behaviour of molecules water rises up in a harrow tubes but mercury which is also a liquid falls in a narr
Mandarinka [93]

Answer: find the answer in the explanation

Explanation:

The capillarity of water molecules is different from the mercury molecules.

What is capillarity ?

This is the tendency of a liquid substance to rise in a capillary tube.

Molecules water rises up in a harrow tubes because of the force of adhesion between the water molecules and the tube molecules is greater than the force of cohesion between the water molecules. This helps water to wet the tube and rise. While mercury which is also a liquid falls in a narrow tubes to level below the outside surface because the force of cohesion between the mercury molecules is greater than the force of adhesion between the mercury molecules and the tube molecules. Mercury does not wet.

Does a falling rock have potential or kinetic energy
Neko [114]

depends t what stage in the fall it is. If it is at the peak, it is fully potential. If it is in the middle, it has both. If it is at the bottom of the fall, it is completely kinetic

What causes convection currents, and what do they do?
frez [133]

Answer:

Convection currents are the result of different heating. Lighter material (warm) rises while heavier (cold) material sinks. This movement of the materials is what causes convection currents! (BTW, it happens in water, in the atmosphere, and in the mantle of Earth!

Explanation:

I hope this helps a little! :)

Which of these is a mixture?
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

Air is a mixture.

Explanation:

Air is a homogeneous mixture. It is made up of gaseous substances such as nitrogen, oxygen, and smaller amounts of others.

Carbon dioxide is a pure substance, not a mixture.

Carbon is another pure substance, it cannot be separated into other substances.

Oxygen is just oxygen, it does not contain any other substance.
