Name:Maylin SalazarDate:11/20/2020Student Exploration: Orbital Motion – Kepler’s LawsDirections: Follow the instructions to go through the simulation. Respond to the questions andprompts in the orange boxes.Vocabulary: astronomical unit, eccentricity, ellipse, force, gravity, Kepler’s first law, Kepler’s second law,Kepler’s third law, orbit, orbital radius, period, vector, velocityPrior Knowledge Questions (Do these BEFORE using the Gizmo.)1. The orbit of Halley’s Comet, shown at right, has an oval shape. Inwhich part of its orbit do you think Halley’s Comet travels fastest?Slowest? Mark these points on the diagram at right.2. How might a collision between Neptune and Halley’s Comet affectNeptune’s orbit?it would not affect it because of it’s massGizmo Warm-upThe path of each planet around the Sun is determined by two factors: itscurrent velocity (speed and direction) and the force of gravity on theplanet. You can manipulate both of these factors as you investigateplanetary orbits in the Orbital Motion – Kepler’s Laws G izmo.On the CONTROLS pane of the Gizmo, turn on Show trails and checkthat Show vectors is on. Click Play ().1. What is the shape of the planet’sorbit?it’s oval-ish2. Watch the orbit over time. Does the orbit ever change, or is it stable?stable3. Click Reset (). Drag the tip of the purple arrow to shorten it and reduce the planet’ ...
