Use Keplers second law to convince yourself that Earth must move faster in its orbit during the northern hemisphere winter, when it is closest to the Sun, than during the summer, when it is farthest from the Sun.
Why should the eccentricity of Earth’s orbit make winter in the Northern Hemisphere different from winter in the Southern Hemisphere?
How do Newton’s laws lead you to conclude that gravitation has to be universal?
A synchronous satellite, which always remains above the same point on a planets equator, is put in orbit around Jupiter to study that planets famous red spot. Jupiter rotates once every 9.84 h. Use the data of Table 13.2 to find the altitude of the satellite above the surface of the planet.
Tidal friction is slowing the rotation of the Earth. As a result, the orbit of the Moon is increasing in radius at a rate of approximately 4 cm/year. Assuming this to be a constant rate, how many years will pass before the radius of the Moon's orbit increases by 3.84106 m (1%)?
