Answer:

a. Planets move on elliptical orbits with the Sun at one focus.

Explanation:

Johannes Kepler was an astronomer who discovered that planets had elliptical orbits in the early 1600s (between 1609 and 1619).

The three (3) laws published by Kepler include;

I. The first law of planetary motion by Kepler states that, all the planets move in elliptical orbits around the Sun at a focus.

II. According to Kepler's second law of planetary motion, the speed of a planet is greatest when it is closest to the Sun.

Thus, the nearer (closer) a planet is to the Sun, the stronger would be the gravitational pull of the sun on the planet and consequently, the faster is the speed of the planet in terms motion.

III. The square of any planetary body's orbital period (P) is directly proportional to the cube of its orbit's semi-major axis.

Hence, one of Kepler's laws of planetary motion states that planets move on elliptical orbits with the Sun at one focus. This is his first law of planetary motion.

nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

Image result for You are traveling at 16m/s for 18 seconds. What is your displacement?

The average velocity of the object is multiplied by the time traveled to find the displacement. The equation x = ½( v + u)t can be manipulated, as shown below, to find any one of the four values if the other three are known.
