Document Summary
State kepler"s three laws in your own words. A kilogram of lead has a higher density. Fastest when it is nearest to the sun and slowest when it is at its farthest from the sun. A certain material has a mass of 565 g while occupying 50 cm3 of space. The gravitational attraction between 2 bodies is proportional to their mass. Pluto"s orbit is more eccentric than any of the major planets. The center of its orbit is farther from the foci of its orbit compared to any of the major planets. No, because gravity operates no matter the distance between 2 bodies. The force of gravity on the iss is far less than on the ground because it is farther from the center of the earth than the surface of the earth is. A body moves in a perfectly circular path at constant speed.
