Newton’s Laws of Motion and Gravity Define mass‚ weight‚ force‚ and acceleration. Mass – A measure of the total amount of material in a body‚ defined either by the inertial properties of the body or by its gravitational influence on other bodies. It is proportional to‚ but not the same as‚ its mass Force – A quantitative description of the interaction between two physical bodies‚ such as an object and its environment. Force is proportional to acceleration. Acceleration – A vector quantity that

Why is astronomy beneficial to society? Astronomy benefits society in many ways. Astronomy has helped the medical field greatly. For example‚ blood samples from leukaemia patients can be processed faster because of a collaboration between a drug company and the Cambridge Automatic Plate Measuring Facility. Radio astronomers came up with a way that is currently used as a non-invasive way to detect tumors and as a result there is an extremely accurate detection rate in breast cancer patients. Astronomy

Lab 4: Kepler’s Laws (answer sheet) 1. a: semi-major axis b: semi-minor axis c: focus d: center 2. The distance from the center to a focus is 31 millimeters and the length of the semi-major axis is also in millimeters. The numbers are not even and cannot be simplified any further than what they are since 31 is a prime number. The number is 31/102‚ or 31 divided by 102 which results in 0.303921568627451. 3. Kepler’s first Law is that all planets orbit in an elliptical (egg
