A method of procedure that has characterized natural science since the 17th century, consisting in systematic observation, measurement, and experiment, and the formulation, testing, and modification of hypotheses.
1.97 E-7 m should be right. I took this a while ago.
Answer:
There are actually three, Kepler's laws that is, of planetary motion: 1) every planet's orbit is an ellipse with the Sun at a focus; 2) a line joining the Sun and a planet sweeps out equal areas in equal times; and 3) the square of a planet's orbital period is proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis of its
Multiply the masses by the respective distances:
(12 kg) (2 m) = 24 J
(25 kg) (1 m) = 25 J
so the heavier bag takes more work to lift, and (b) is the answer.
(d) is technically correct if the sacks are carrying different contents whose masses are not equal, but since we don't know what's inside each sack, assume 12 kg and 25 kg are the masses of each sack *and* their contents.
