It is important to have an idea about the distances between and relative sizes of celestial objects in the solar system. In Part 1 we will pretend to shrink the solar system until its center piece, the Sun, is 67.3 cm in diameter. This will represent the Sun which is 1,390,000 km in diameter. The scale of our model is thus: 67.3 cm = 4.84 x 10-5 cm km Scale 1, 390, 000 km To find the size or distance between objects in centimeters for the model, simply multiply the actual size or distance in kilometers by the scale factor above. 1. Fill in following table: Quantity Actual Distance (km) Model Distance (cm) Diameter of Sun 1,390,000 Diameter of Earth 12,760 Diameter of Moon 3,480 Distance Between Earth and Sun 1.5 x 108 Distance Between Earth and Moon 384,000 Distance to Proxima Centauri 3.97 x 1013

On day 5 of our trip we drove from Pompei to Vicenza in the north of Italy (440 miles, about 6 hours 28 minutes) – a long day of riding in the car. I was driving about 140 km/hour on the Autostrada (express toll road) in Italy. How fast was I driving in miles per hour
Solve the problem below (E6) AND use the photo of the five steps to solve it.
The ambulance car drove the distance 6,6 km. The first part of the way the car drove at a velocity 2,9 times higher than its average speed, and the second part of the way - at a velocity 3,6 times less than the average. Find the length of the first part of the path. Select the correct units of measurement in the field next to the answer.

Every year the Earth travels about 10^9km as it orbits the sun. What is Earth's average speed in km/h. Did I do this correct? savg=distance/time (365days*24 hours) =8,760 hours 10^9/8,760 =1.14*10^5km/h
Help me pls!! Thank you
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.

Newton's Law of Gravitation 2. The magnitude of the acceleration of an object under the pull of Earth's gravity is given by Newton's Universal Law of Gravitation МЕ a = G R? where G is the universal gravitational constant, ME is the mass of Earth, and R is the distance of the object from the center of Earth. Let x be the distance above Earth's surface. We can rewrite the formula for the acceleration as a function of x by noting that R = Rp + x, where Rp is the radius of Earth. Therefore, МЕ a(x) = G- (RE + x)2 d. (a) Show that dx 1 1 (1 – x)* - x.
