Astronomers observe the motion of four planets that orbit a star similar to the Sun. Each planet follows an elliptical orbit around its star. The astronomers measure each planet's orbital period, as shown in the table. Planet; Orbital Period (Earth days)
Planet W; 10
Planet X; 640
Planet Y; 80
Planet Z; 270
To determine the distance each planet is from the star, astronomers applied one of Kepler's three laws.
Kepler's first law: The path of each planet around a star is an ellipse, with the star at one focus. Kepler's second law: A planet sweeps out equal areas in equal amounts of time as it revolves around the star.
Kepler's third law: The square of the time for one revolution of a planet is proportional to the cube of the radius of its orbit.
Based on the table, identify the planet that is the farthest distance from the star, and indicate which of Kepler's three laws can be used to justify your answer. Enter your answer in the box provided.​

Part f - example: finding two forces (part i) two dimensional dynamics often involves solving for two unknown quantities in two separate equations describing the total force. the block in (figure 1) has a mass m=10kg and is being pulled by a force f on a table with coefficient of static friction îľs=0.3. four forces act on it: the applied force f (directed î¸=30â above the horizontal). the force of gravity fg=mg (directly down, where g=9.8m/s2). the normal force n (directly up). the force of static friction fs (directly left, opposing any potential motion). if we want to find the size of the force necessary to just barely overcome static friction (in which case fs=îľsn), we use the condition that the sum of the forces in both directions must be 0. using some basic trigonometry, we can write this condition out for the forces in both the horizontal and vertical directions, respectively, as: fcosî¸â’îľsn=0 fsinî¸+nâ’mg=0 in order to find the magnitude of force f, we have to solve a system of two equations with both f and the normal force n unknown. use the methods we have learned to find an expression for f in terms of m, g, î¸, and îľs (no n).
