Does the speed of planetary orbits increase the closer the planet is to the sun?

Yes. Planets (and other things) orbit at a higher speed the closer they are to the object they are orbiting.


What happens to the speed of planets orbiting the sun as you get closer to the sun?

they get faster


What is when an object is accelerating its speed is?

It will have increase in speed with increase in time


What is it when an object is accelerating its speed?

It will have increase in speed with increase in time


When an object is accelerating What is its speed?

It will have increase in speed with increase in time


If an object accelerates in the same direction in which it is moving how is its speed affected?

The speed of the object will increase.


When the angular speed of an object increase its angular momentum may or may not increase?

if the angular speed of an object increase its angular momentum will also increase


What happens to the speed of an orbiting star when you increase the size of a black hole?

What's relevant is the black hole's mass in this case. That's the same as if you change the mass of any other object around which another object orbits - for example, the mass of a star. For a higher mass of the central object, the orbiting object must move faster - assuming it is at the same distance of course.


How does mass turn into infinity at the speed of light?

It doesn't - the object will never achieve the speed of light, since an infinite mass is not possible (it would require infinite energy). This only describes a tendency: as the object gets closer and closer to the speed of light, so, too, will its mass increase more and more, approaching infinity - this means there is no upper limit to the mass as the object approaches the speed of light.


How much does the speed increase of an object on a airtrack?

According to the speed of the aircraft on which the object is loaded


If an object accelerates in the same direction which it is moving how is it speed affected?

The speed of the object will increase.


If you divide the increase in an object's speed by the time taken for that increase you are determining the object's?

Then you are determining the object's average acceleration (provided the initial and final speed are in the same direction).
