Halley’s Comet appears around the sun about once every 76 years. It passes through the part of its orbit nearest the sun in just

a few months but then moves out to great distances and takes more than half a century for the rest of its orbit. Explain these time differences in terms of Kepler’s laws.

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 orbit. As it’s the third which is most often used, Kepler’s law usually means Kepler’s third law (of planetary motion).

Explanation:

Kepler's third law would tell us that Halley's comet has an average distance much greater than that of the Earth. However, there is a time in Halley's comet's orbit that brings it closer to the Sun than the Earth. Kepler's third law is a mathematical relation between a planet's period and its average distance.

Leya [2.2K]
From my research, the following image is used for the problem. For each segment, the displacement can be obtained by looking for the area under the segment.

Part A:

displacement = (1/2)*10*2 = 10m

Part B:

displacement = [(1/2)*4*5] + (5*2) = 20m

<span>Part C:
</span>
displacement = [(1/2)*4*10] + (2*10) = 40m
