Which statement explains how planets move in orbit as supported by Newton’s first law of motion? Planets can change the direction of their own orbital path.
Planets can change orbits due to their inertia.
Planets in motion will have a constant speed unless acted on by an outside force.
Planets with a greater mass will orbit more quickly than smaller planets.

Atotal charge of –6.50 µc is uniformly distributed within a sphere that has a radius of 0.150 m. what is the magnitude and direction of the electric field at 0.300 m from the surface of the sphere? a) 2.89 × 105 n/c, radially inward b) 6.49 × 105 n/c, radially outward c) 4.69 × 105 n/c, radially inward d) 9.38 × 105 n/c, radially outward e) 1.30 × 106 n/c, radially inward

An object moves from position +34m to the position -15m in 15 seconds. what is the total displacement? what is the total velocity?

Your starship, the aimless wanderer, lands on the mysterious planet mongo. as chief scientist-engineer, you make the following measurements: a 2.50-kg stone thrown upward from the ground at 14.0 m/s returns to the ground in 5.70 s ; the circumference of mongo at the equator is 2.20×10^5 km ; and there is no appreciable atmosphere on mongo. (a) the starship commander, captain confusion, asks for the following information: what is the mass of mongo? (b) if the aimless wanderer goes into a circular orbit 2.20×10^4 km above the surface of mongo, how many hours will it take the ship to complete one orbit? (c) an unmanned spacecraft is in a circular orbit around the moon, observing the lunar surface from an altitude of 44.0 km . to the dismay of scientists on earth, an electrical fault causes an on-board thruster to fire, decreasing the speed of the spacecraft by 23.0 m/s . if nothing is done to correct its orbit, with what speed (in km/h) will the spacecraft crash into the lunar surface?
