Question Answer
Kepler's First Law The orbit of a planet is a ellipse, with the Sun at one of the two foci
Geostationary Satellite Satellite remains above the same point of the Earth as the Earth rotates
3 Conditions for orbit to be geostationary 1 - In orbit above Earth's equator 2 - Rotate in the same direction as the Earth's rotation 3 - Have an orbital period of 24 hours.
Newton's Law of Gravitation The force between two masses is directly proportional to the product of the two masses (F ∝ Mm) and inversely proportional to the square of their separation (F ∝ 1/r^2)
Kepler's Second Law (line segment one) A line segment joining the planet and the sun, sweeps out equal areas during equal intervals of time
