Earth’s Motions—The Law of Orbits Name _______________
Partner ______________ Class _____ Lab ______ Date _______Problem: Is there any sort of pattern which can be identified in the motions of satellites in their orbit around their primaries? The sectors of the diagram are lettered A through L.
The 12 radii are numbered from 1 to 12.
To finally calculate the area of Sector A we will need to know the average of these two radii.
Calculations:
5) You need to visualize this satellite orbiting its primary with its changing radius distances and sector angles.
6) On the first graph use two different colored pencils to plot the 12 radius lengths you measure...
