Can someone give me two physics equation to use on my presentation: one that represents Newton's first law and one that represents Newton's second law? I also need them solved and the steps shown. I know it's a lot to ask but I'd deeply appreciate it.
If by some horrific miracle, the Sun was instantaneously evaporated into nothing at the moment drawn, how would the planet’s motion change, if at all? Explain your reasoning. Can we use the kinematic formulas to study the orbits of the planets? Why or why not?
A man has a mass of 80 kg on Earth. a. What is the man’s weight on Mars where the acceleration due to gravity is 3.7 m/s2 ? Show your answer in both Newtons and pounds. b. What is the man’s mass while on Mars? Explain your answer.
asap do all steps please An asteroid in our Solar System has an eccentricity of 0.550 and a perihelion (closest to Sun) distance of 0.800 AU (Astronomical Units). a)What is its semimajor axis in AU? b)What is its orbital period in Earth years? (Hint: use the simpler form of Kepler’s law for orbitsaround our Sun. You do not need to know 1AU in m). c)What is the ratio of its maximum to minimum speedduring its orbit, vmax/vmin (3 sig figs)? (Hint: use a conservation law) d)Choose one: The asteroid’s total mechanical energy is: i) positive, ii) zero iii) negative, iv) any of theaboveare possible. e) The Earth’s orbit is very close to circular and draw it as acircle of radius 1AU (OK to trace sometime at least the size of a quarter or draw by hand). Label an “S” where the Sunis. Carefully mark theperihelion of the asteroid to the left of the Sun with a “P” and aphelion with an “A” to the right of the Sunto scale (use your ruler to measure it).

As discussed in class, the moon is receding from the Earth due to tides at a rate of ~4 cm/year. Let’s assume that rate has been constant throughout time (it wasn’t, but we can use it to illustrate some key points). Its current semi-major axis is 384,400 km.a) If the moon formed 4.5 billion years ago and has been receding from the Earth ever since, what was its original semi-major axis? What was its original orbital period?b) What would the apparent size of the Moon have been in the sky as viewed from Earth? That is, in Hmwk 2, you were told the diameter of the Moon spans about 0.5o when viewed from Earth today. What would it have been when the Moon first formed?

Write down an expression for the gravitational filed strength of a planet of radius R and density ρ. Please use "*" for products (e.g. B*A), "/" for ratios (e.g. B/A) and the usual "+" and "-" signs as appropriate without the quotes). For Greek letters such as ?ρ and ?π use rho and pi.
