Who gathered the data that were used to show that the planets travel in elliptical paths around the Sun? Who discovered elliptical orbits? Who explained them?
Use the Law of Gravitation with Kepler's third Law to determine the mass of the Sun. Don't forget to include units!
A small asteroid that has a mass of 100 kg is moving at 200 m/s when it is 1,550 km above the Moon. 1) How fast will the meteorite be traveling when it impacts the lunar surface if it is heading straight toward the center of the Moon? 2) How much work does the Moon do in stopping the asteroid if neither the Moon nor the asteroid heats up in the process?
