What is a word that is related to keplers three laws and starts with the letter m?

Mindboggling? They are "Laws of Planetary Motion". So I guess the answer is "motion".


What are the rules summarising planetary movements called?

The rules summarizing planetary movements are called Kepler's Laws of Planetary Motion. These laws were formulated by the astronomer Johannes Kepler in the early 17th century and describe the orbits of planets around the Sun.


What two things is gravitational field strength dependent on?

Distance from the body and the mass of the body. See Keplers laws of planetary motion for more info.


What is a consequence of Keplers Second Law?

A consequence of Kepler's Second Law (law of equal areas) is that a planet moves faster in its orbit when it is closer to the Sun and slower when it is farther away. This results in an uneven distribution of orbital velocities throughout the planet's orbit.

What was the date of Keplers theory?

April 27, 4977 B.C. That was when he once calculated that the universe began. Or, you may mean when he published his Laws of Planetary Motion. He published his first 2 laws in 1609 and his 3rd law around 1619.


What was the evidence of Keplers theory?

Johannes Kepler (1571-1630), a German who travelled to Prague to become the assistant of Brahe, was studying the orbit of Mars and while examining that data discovered the Laws of Planetary Motion which state an elliptical orbit rather than a circular one.


Which statement correctly states Keplers Third Law of Planetary Motion?

Kepler's laws cannot be proven. They are empirical laws not derived from axioms.The answer above is nonsense.Yes Kepler could not prove his laws and had only derived them empirically. But after Newton formulated his Universal law of gravitation, Kepler's laws could and have been proven.The working is quite cumbersome and cannot be repeated in this forum. But if you Google "Keplers Laws Proof" or similar you will find numerous explanations. But be prepared that complete proofs require quite some math skills. To do it rigorously you need Calculus and Vector Algebra.In essence, the first two laws are equivalent to the law of conservation of Angular Momentum (which is the cross product of the position and velocity vectors). The third law calculates the orbital period as a function of semi-major axis of the ellipse and the central mass, basically defining elliptic motion.It is amazing that Kepler was able to formulate these laws empirically (mainly by studying the motion of Mars) without having the physics and mathematics he would have needed, at his disposal.

What do m1 and m2 represent in keplers law?

In Kepler's laws of planetary motion, m1 and m2 represent the masses of two objects (usually the Sun and a planet) that are orbiting around each other. Kepler's laws describe the relationship between the orbit of a planet and the mass of the objects involved.
