Newton explained why the Moon orbits the Earth. Newton's explanation enables astronomers to determine the mass of an object. Why is that important?
7. Use Kepler's third law to evaluate the distance of Saturn from the Sun, using the following facts: (1) The period of Saturn is 29.5 years. (2) The Earth's distance to the Sun is 1 AU. (3) The period of the Earth is one year. (The Astronomical Unit (AU) is a measure of distance used in astron- omy.)
Differentiate and illustrate Kepler's Laws from Newton's Laws. In every illustration, make a drawing, a sketch or a diagram which you are going to explain.
Kepler's 1st law says that our Solar System's planets orbit in ellipses around the Sun where the closest distance to the Sun is called perihelion. Suppose I tell you that there is a planet with a perihelion distance of 2 AU and a semi-major axis of 1.5 AU. Does this make physical sense? Explain why or why not.

2. You step on a weighing scale, and it tells you mass 63 kilograms. How many pounds does this represents? (Note: Assume that you are on Earth.)
According to Lunar Laser Ranging experiments the average distance LM from the Earth to the Moon is approximately 3.85 × 10° km. The Moon orbits the Earth and completes one revolution in approximately 27.5 days (a sidereal month). How can the mass of the Earth be calculated using the information above? Select the correct statements. Select one or more: O a. Use Newton's third law. O b. Use Newton's first law. c. Use Coulombs law. O d. Use Newton's second law.
