Kepler's three laws of planetary motion can be stated as follows: (1) All planets move about the Sun in elliptical orbits, having the Sun as one of the foci. (2) A radius vector joining any planet to the Sun sweeps out equal areas in equal lengths of time.

Kepler's three laws of planetary motion are:

The 1st law is that planets move around the Sun in elliptical orbits. An ellipse is a shape that resembles a flattened circle. The 2nd law is the speed of the planet increases as it nears the sun and decreases as it recedes from the sun. The 3rd law is the square of the orbital period of a planet is proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis of its orbit.

Example of energy transfer from potential to kinetic and back
Alex_Xolod [135]

Swimmer and Divers. The Potential energy is transferred into Kinetic energy, and allows the diver to submerge into the water. The Kinetic energy then allows the diver to submerge and dive into the water. Potential energy however, is needed to allow the diver to get back out of the water after diving to get up and go and dive again, and then the Kinetic energy is transferred back to Potential energy to repeat the process.

A 1000 kg satellite and a 2000 kg satellite follow exactly the same orbit around the earth. What is the ratio F1/F2 of the gravi
Tamiku [17]

Answer:

the <em>ratio F1/F2 = 1/2</em>

the <em>ratio a1/a2 = 1</em>

Explanation:

The force that both satellites experience is:

F1 = G M_e m1 / r²       and

F2 = G M_e m2 / r²

where

  • m1 is the mass of satellite 1
  • m2 is the mass of satellite 2
  • r is the orbital radius
  • M_e is the mass of Earth

Therefore,

F1/F2 = [G M_e m1 / r²] / [G M_e m2 / r²]

F1/F2 = [G M_e m1 / r²] × [r² / G M_e m2]

F1/F2 = m1/m2

F1/F2 = 1000/2000

<em>F1/F2 = 1/2</em>

The other force that the two satellites experience is the centripetal force. Therefore,

F1c = m1 v² / r    and

F2c = m2 v² / r

where

  • m1 is the mass of satellite 1
  • m2 is the mass of satellite 2
  • v is the orbital velocity
  • r is the orbital velocity

Thus,

a1 = v² / r ⇒ v² = r a1    and

a2 = v² / r ⇒ v² = r a2

Therefore,

F1c = m1 a1 r / r = m1 a1

F2c = m2 a2 r / r = m2 a2

In order for the satellites to stay in orbit, the gravitational force must equal the centripetal force. Thus,

F1 = F1c

G M_e m1 / r² = m1 a1

a1 = G M_e / r²

also

a2 = G M_e / r²

Thus,

a1/a2 = [G M_e / r²] / [G M_e / r²]

<em>a1/a2 = 1</em>
