Do your work on a separate sheet of paper.

1.    Use pictures, and as few words as possible words, to describe each of KeplerÕs 3 laws. Correctly number each law in your pictures.

2.    A space ship is moved 4 times as far away from the Earth, how will its new force of attraction compare to its old force of attraction?

3.    A MartianÕs spaceship move 3 times closer to the planet Mars. How will his new force of attraction compare to his old?

4.    An asteroid moves to a position where the pull of gravity is 16 times greater. How does the new distance compare to the old?

5.    A Venusian moves to a position from the Sun where the force of gravity is 1/625 times the old force. How does this new position compare to the Sun compare to the old position?

6.    Use the data below to show KeplerÕs thirds law works add what you know about the Earth.

7.    Mars has two moons that orbit it. Deimos and Phobos. Deimos takes 1.26244 days to go around Mars once. Deimos is 23,459 km from Mars. Phobos takes 0.31891 days (7.65 hours) to go around Mars. PhobosÕ mass is 1.08 x 10¹⁶ kg. If the force of attraction between Mars and Phoebos is 5.26 x 10¹⁵ N, then what is the mass of Mars?
