Answer:

The first law states that every planet describes an elliptical path about the sun as a single focus.

The second law states that The line joining the planet to the sun sweeps out equal areas in equal time intervals.

The third law states that The squares of the period of revolution is proportional to the cubes of the mean distance between the planet and the sun

Kepler's Law of equal areas for equal times. As a planet moves in an orbit about the Sun, the areas swept out by the planet are equal for equal time intervals. A: For circular orbits the equal areas are identical in shape and size (red areas).

Jack and Jill have made up since the previous HW assignment, and are now playing on a 10 meter seesaw. Jill is sitting on one en

Answer: 3 m.

Explanation:

Neglecting the mass of the seesaw, in order the seesaw to be balanced, the sum of the torques created by gravity acting on both children must be 0.

As we are asked to locate Jack at some distance from the fulcrum, we can take torques regarding the fulcrum, which is located at just in the middle of the length of the seesaw.

If we choose the counterclockwise direction as positive, we can write the torque equation as follows (assuming that Jill sits at the left end of the seesaw):

mJill* 5m -mJack* d = 0

60 kg*5 m -100 kg* d =0

Solving for d:

d = 3 m.

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to wavelength depending on the frequency and speed. Mathematically, the wavelength can be expressed as

$\lambda = \frac{v}{f}$
