Question

The diagram below shows different positions of Earth and Mars around the sun.

Diagram shows the sun at the left hand focus of Earth's elliptical orbit. Two positions of Earth are shown on the elliptical orbit. At Position A, Earth is closest to the sun. At position B, Earth is farther away from the sun. The elliptical orbit of Mars is shown around Earth's orbit. Two positions of Mars are shown on its orbit. At Position A, Mars is closest to the sun. At position B, Mars is farther away from the sun.

Based on the diagram, which of these statements is correct?

The orbital speeds of Earth and Mars are greater in position B than in position A.
The orbital speeds of Earth and Mars are greater in position A than in position B.
The orbital period of Earth in position A is greater than the orbital period of Mars in position B.
The orbital period of Earth in position B is greater than the orbital period of Mars in position B.

Answer 1

u got a screen shot?

Answer 2

ight which one u think it is

Answer 3

Answer 10

yup.

Answer 11

hes super smart lmaoo

Answer 12

WOW

Answer 13

OKAY I UNDERSTAND THE QUESTION NOW LOL

Answer 14

So when they're talking about orbital speeds they mean the rate at which they're revolving around the sun. Do you see how on the left they're a lot closer to the sun than they are when they're farther away? That means they're orbiting the sun at a faster rate than on the other end. Make sense?

Answer 15

No

Answer 16

d?

Answer 17

Let me try explaining again. On the left of the orbit, both Earth and Mars will take a shorter time around that half of the sun than they will with the half on the right.

Answer 18

so then a? im so sorry i can be brain dead sometimes.

Answer 19

The opposite of A. The path is shorter, so it won't take Earth and Mars as long to orbit the sun.

Answer 20

and don't worry about it, it's a tough question.

Answer 21

So B? lol

Answer 22

That's what I would put

Answer 23

ok. i trust u
