Chapter 5: Circular Motion and Gravity

A ball is whirled in a horizontal circle of radius r and speed v A ball is whirled in a horizontal circle of radius r and speed v. The radius is increased to 2r keeping the speed of the ball constant. The period of the ball changes by a factor of one half. one. two. three. four.

Which of the following statements is one of Kepler's three laws of planetary motion? A line joining any planet to the sun sweeps out equal areas in equal times. Only an odd number of planets can orbit the sun. The period of any planet about the sun is proportional to the planet's distance from the sun. All planets move in elliptical orbits with the earth at one focus. F = GMm/R2
