Suppose you read in the newspaper that a new planet has been found. Its average speed in its orbit is 33 kilometers per second (km/s). When it is closest to its star, it moves at 31 km/s, and when it is farthest from its star, it moves at 35 km/s. This story is in error because
Choose one:
A. Kepler's third law says the planet has to sweep out equal areas in equal times, so
the speed of the planet cannot change.
B. the average speed is too fast.
C. using these numbers, the square of the orbital period will not be equal to
the cube of the semimajor axis.
D. planets stay at a constant distance from their stars; they don't move closer or farther away.
E. Kepler's second law says the planet must move fastest when it is closest, not
when it is farthest away.
E. Kepler's second law says the planet must move fastest when it is closest, not
when it is farthest away.
