Which conclusion is best supported by the image? The image shows how Earth orbits the Sun. Points Wand X
are the same distance from the Sun.
W
Earth is speeding up at W and slowing down at X
because the force on Earth is greater at W than at X.
Earth is slowing down at W and speeding up at X
because the force on Earth is greater at W than at X.
O The speed of Earth is the same at Was at X because the
force on Earth is the same at Was at X.
The speed of Earth is greater at W than at X because the
force on Earth is greater at W than at X.

Simon is writing a story about an astronaut whose spacecraft has been boarded by space pirates. the astronaut has her lucky penny in her hand behind her back as the space pirates break into the control room. she has just locked the controls so that the ship is accelerating in the direction of the control room’s ceiling. simon wants the astronaut to use the penny to hit a button on the control panel to turn off the lights and escape. the button is located a short distance behind and below the astronaut’s hands. how should simon use the theory of relativity to describe what the astronaut must do in order to hit the button?
