Which statements describe the motion of a planet according to kepler’s second law? check all that apply. the speed of a planet varies as it moves in its orbit. the speed of a planet is constant as it moves in its orbit. a planet travels the same distance along its orbit in equal units of time. a planet sweeps out an equal area in equal units of time. a planet’s orbit is a circle centered on the sun. a planet’s orbit is an ellipse with the sun at one focus.

A and D First, review Kepler’s second law. "A line joining a planet and the Sun sweeps out equal areas during equal intervals of time." Now look at the available options to see if they match the facts. A. The speed of a planet varies as it moves in its orbit. This is implied since the distance from the planet to the sun varies and because the area sweep over constant time is constant, the speed HAS to change. So this is true. B. The speed of a planet is constant as it moves in its orbit. This is the exact opposite to option A above, and since A is true, this must be false. Don't mark it. C. A planet travels the same distance along its orbit in equal units of time. This is simply a restatement of option B above, and since B is wrong, so is this. D. A planet sweeps out an equal area in equal units of time. This is a simple restatement of the 2nd law, so it's obviously true. E. A planet’s orbit is a circle centered on the Sun. This is a contradiction of the 1st law and doesn't even say anything about how the planet moves. So it's false. F. A planet’s orbit is an ellipse with the Sun at one focus. This is a statement of Kepler's first law. And it doesn't actually mention how the planet moves. So although it's true, it doesn't apply to the 2nd law. Don't mark it.

A and D I think

Explanation:

i think it’s a. this is because if they measured the mass of something with a mass of 150g, then their final answer would have to be approximately 150g. though all of their answers are almost 150, rosa and tran have the closest answers (or the exact answer) to the accurate one.

so here is the information for current research:

-nrel's geothermal analysts, scientists, and engineers perform a full range of research from developing advanced methods of locating and accessing geothermal resources to exploring innovative technologies to extract and produce clean energy from the heat of the earth

and here is the information for the technology of geothermal energy:

-it's clean and sustainable

-resources of geothermal energy range from the shallow ground to hot water and hot rock found a few miles beneath the earth's surface, and down even deeper to the extremely high temperatures of molten rock called magma

-almost everywhere, the shallow ground or upper 10 feet of the earth's surface maintains a nearly constant temperature between 50° and 60°f (10° and 16°c)

-geothermal heat pumps can tap into this resource to heat and cool buildings

-a geothermal heat pump system consists of a heat pump, an air delivery system (ductwork), and a heat exchanger-a system of pipes buried in the shallow ground near the building

-in the winter, the heat pump removes heat from the heat exchanger and pumps it into the indoor air delivery system

-in the summer, the process is reversed, and the heat pump moves heat from the indoor air into the heat exchanger

-the heat removed from the indoor air during the summer can also be used to provide a free source of hot water
