Definition  Characteristics
In astronomy and classical physics,
laws describing the motions of
the planets in the solar system.
Kepler’s Law of
Planetary
Motion
Example
At its closest approach, a moon comes within
200,000 km of the planet it orbits. At that point, the
moon is 300,000 km from the other focus of its
orbit, f2. The planet is focus f1 of the moon’s
elliptical orbit. How far is the moon from the planet
when it is 260,000 km from f2.
Example
Earth’s orbit is slightly elliptical, with a semi-
major axis of 152 million km and a semi-
minor axis of 147 million km. If Earth’s period
is 365.26 days, what area does an Earth-to-sun
line sweep past in one day.
All planets move around
the Sun with elliptical orbits, having
the Sun as one of the foci.
Characteristics
A radius vector joining any planet to
the Sun sweeps out equal areas in
equal lengths of time.
Characteristics
The squares of the sidereal periods (of
revolution) of the planets are directly
proportional to the cubes of their mean distances
from the Sun. 
Example
Given that the moon orbits Earth each 27.3 days
and that it is an average distance
of 3.84×108m3.84×108m from the center of Earth,
calculate the period of an artificial satellite orbiting
at an average altitude of 1,500 km above Earth’s
surface.

Activity 11

It was met with winds of about 19 m/sec (i.e., about 70kmph). The middle stay was torsionally
vibrating at a recurrence of 36 cpm (cycles/min) in nine unique pieces. Over the next hour, the
adequacy of torsional vibration established and the motion had shifted from musically rising and
tumbling to a two-wave turning, as seen in Fig. 02. Regardless of every one of these movements,
the middle part (along the length) of the extension remained still, while its other two parts wound
in inverse ways. The scaffold was recognizably wound into two sections, feeling 14
vibrations/min. A dissatisfaction of a connection (located along the north side) band associated
with the focal point of the inclining links initiated this extraordinary torsional motion. The
pinnacles carrying them were pushed towards them due to the listing of options and the
accumulation of long individuals. Furthermore, visible and typical breaks occurred until the
entire extension crashed down into the stream.
