help please According to Kepler's third law, if planet A takes 14 years to travel around its star at a distance of 3 AU. then how many years will planet B take to orbit at a distance of 102 AU.
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.
What are the dimensions of universal gravitational constant? a) [M2L3T2] b) [M-1 L3 T-2] c) [M-1 L3 T2] d) [M1 L3 T-2]
Please solve and answer the question correctly. Thank you!
Use the diagram and the fact that Planet A has a nearly circular orbit while Planet B has a highly elliptical orbit to answer the following questions. Use examples of Newton’s and Kepler’s laws in your answers. a. Does Planet B travel faster or slower when it is closest to the Sun than at other times? Explain your answer. b. Which planet takes longer to orbit the Sun? Explain your answer. c. Does the gravitational attraction between these planets increase or decrease as their orbits move them closer together? Explain your answer. d. Which planet has the highest average orbital speed? Explain your answer. e. Which planet travels at about the same speed throughout its orbit? Explain your answer.

Determine the maneuvers (velocity jumps) required to pass from a circular path around the Earth (R=6500 km) at v,=7.9 km/s to a circular path around the Moon (r=1800 km). The path in-between is rectilinear? Distance Earth-Moon = 384400 km, Moon's gravity 1.622 m/s? Earth Moon
