Three problems - Draw the following vectors on a sheet of paper, and add them. take a picture of the work and upload it here. problem 1 Draw a coordinate system and draw vector A from the origin to point (4,3), and Vector B from the origin to (2,5). Then then draw vector A+B Problem 2: draw one vector in the x direction with magnitude 3 and one vector in the y direction with magnitude 4. Then add those two vectors. Problem 3. draw a vector in the x direction with magnitude 5, and another vector in the x direction with magnitude -8. Add the two vectors Honors: Draw a vector of magnitude 8 at 20° from the x direction. Decompose this vector, and show the magnitude of its x and y components.

If a planet has a force of gravity of 3.24 x 10^22 N from the sun, and a force of 1.00 x 10^22 from a nearby massive planet that is farther from the sun than that planet, what is the net force on the planet?

Why are some constellation in the zodiac, and others aren't

Why do stars never exhibit retrograde motion?

Asemmisa {{asɛmmisaAhyɛnsode}}

explain how stellar parallax argued against heliocentrism

Asemmisa {{asɛmmisaAhyɛnsode}}
15.

Copernicus' calculations using heliocentrism still didn't predict where planets would be in their orbits compared to the geocentric models. What did he still not know that would have made a difference?

according to Kepler's second law,

relative

position of an object

distance between two objects

angular distance

angular diameter

linear distance

The farther a planet is from the sun, the orbital speed is

Asemmisa {{asɛmmisaAhyɛnsode}}
19.

The force of gravity between two objects relies on which of the following factors, check all that apply

Asemmisa {{asɛmmisaAhyɛnsode}}
20.

define ecliptic

Asemmisa {{asɛmmisaAhyɛnsode}}
21.

define horizon

Asemmisa {{asɛmmisaAhyɛnsode}}
22.

define tidal braking

Asemmisa {{asɛmmisaAhyɛnsode}}
23.

define synchronous orbit

Asemmisa {{asɛmmisaAhyɛnsode}}
24.

explain why even though the explanation of tidal forces is the moon pulling on the near side of the earth more than the center and far side of the earth is accurate, the actual tides are caused less by that pulling, and more by squeezing from the sides.

Titan, the largest moon of Saturn, has a mean orbital radius of 1.22x10^9 m. The orbital period of Titan is 15.95 days. Hyperion, another moon of Saturn, orbits at a mean radius of 1.48x10^9 m. Use Kepler’s third law of planetary motion to predict the orbital period of Hyperion in days.

create a question that requires the use of Newton's law of universal gravitation

Asemmisa {{asɛmmisaAhyɛnsode}}
30.

Using x=dcosθ and y=dsinθ, decompose both these vectors into their x and y components. Note that the 25° is NOT from the x axis (as in, you will have to do something with that)

Using Kepler's second law, explain why comets are slow far from the sun, and fast near the sun.
