1. How does Newton’s first law prove that planets are moving in a circular pattern?
2. How does Newton’s third law prove that Earth is moving and the Sun is not?
3.Using Newton’s law of gravitation and the third law of motion, argue qualitatively how the ratio between the orbital period and the radius of a planet do or do not change, based upon Kepler’s third law of motion.
Newton's First Law of Motion states that a body in motion keeps the same motion unless acted upon by an outside force. Likewise, if it is not moving, it remains that way unless a force acts on it.
