    1) The document appears to be a worksheet asking students to identify Kepler's laws of planetary motion and contributions to understanding the solar system. 2) It asks students to identify Kepler's first law, which states that planets orbit in ellipses, and define the two foci of ellipses. 3) It also asks students to explain Kepler's second and third laws - the equal areas law and the law relating orbital periods to semimajor axes.

    ORBITS AND GRAVITY: THE LAW OF PLANETARY MOTION
    Activity no.3

    Directions: Read and comprehend the following. Write your answer on the space provided.

    Set A. Identify what is being asked on each item.


    ______1. What law of planetary motions states that the orbits of all planets are ellipses?
    ______2. What are these two points inside the ellipses?
    ______3. It is the ratio of the distance between the foci to the length of the major axis.
    ______4. What law of planetary motion deals with the speed of each planet that moves
    along its ellipse?
    ______5. A law of planetary motion which states that the square of a planet’s orbital period
    is directly proportional to the cube of the semimajor axis of its orbit.

    Set B. Enumeration.

    6. What are the contributions of Tycho Brahe in the understanding of the solar system?

    7. Give the three Kepler’s Law of Planetary Motion and briefly explain each.
