Part F Consider again the diagrams from Parts D and E, which are repeated here. Again,...
Part D Each of the four diagrams below represents the orbit of the same asteroid, but each one shows it in a different position along its orbit of the Sun. Imagine that you observed the asteroid as it traveled for one week, starting from each of the positions shown. Rank the positions based on the area that would be swept out by a line drawn between the Sun and the asteroid during the one-week period. Rank from largest to smallest....
The following diagrams are the same as those from Parts A and B. This time, rank the planets from left to right based on their average orbital speed, from fastest to slowest. If you think that two (or more) of the diagrams should be ranked as equal, drag one on top of the other(s) to show this equality. (Distances are to scale, but planet and star sizes are not.) Reset Help Fastest Slowest
The following diagrams are the same as those from Part A. This time, rank the planets from left to right based on the amount of time it takes each to complete one orbit, from longest to shortest. If you think that two (or more) of the diagrams should be ranked as equal, drag one on top of the other(s) to show this equality. (Distances are to scale, but planet and star sizes are not.) Reset Help Longest Shortest
Each of the following diagrams shows a planet orbiting a star. Each diagram is labeled with the planet's mass (in Earth masses) and its average orbital distance (in AU). Assume that all four stars are identical. Use Kepler's third law to rank the planets from left to right based on their orbital periods, from longest to shortest. If you think that two (or more) of the diagrams should be ranked as equal, drag one on top of the other(s) to...
