Copernicus's model states that the sun is in the center, and that the planets move around it in a circle. Kepler's first law of planetary motion says that they move around the sun in an ellipse.
<span> We're given that x=25 when t=2: </span>
<span>25 = 3 + 12(2) + (1/2)a(2)^2 </span>
<span>Thus a = -1 cm/sec^2</span>
An object that's moving doesn't necessarily change its speed or acceleration. Also, the force applied to it doesn't need to change ... in fact, a moving object doesn't need ANY force applied to it in order to keep moving.
But any moving object WILL have a change in its position ... THAT's how you know it's moving, and that's WHY you say "It's moving !". (choice-B)
