PHYS 1020: The Solar System Lab: Planetary Motion

Document Content and Description Below

PHYS 1020: The Solar System Lab: Planetary Motion Do the following:  Launch the University of Nebraska at Lincoln's Planetary Orbit Simulator at: http://astro.unl.edu/naap/pos/animations/kepler ... .html . If the simulator does not load, make sure you have Flash installed, and enable it to run on that web page. If you're having trouble doing this, try this resource, or google your browser specifically: https://kb.iu.edu/d/aofg  Read the background material found in these pages (click here): o Kepler's Law of Planetary Motion o Newton and Planetary Motion  Make sure you provide full and complete answers. While a few questions can be answered with short answers, others require longer explanations. Of course, plagiarism is strictly prohibited, and is a serious academic offense, so make sure the work you provide is your own. Do not use answer keys. These questions are unique, and answer keys will be invalid in any case.  You are required to provide a screen shot of a certain exercise, as noted in the answer sheet below. To get a screenshot on your computer, follow the tips in this article (https://lifehacker.com/5825771/how-to-take-a-screenshot-or-picture-ofwhats-on-your-computer-screen) or google how to take a screenshot in your particular operating system. Once you have the screenshot, you can import it into Word with Pictures->Pictures from File under the Insert menu or tab, or copy and paste it in from a picture viewing program.  Sketches you are required to make can be done in Word (the Insert tab- >Shapes), and you can hand draw something by choosing "Scribble" under shapes). Alternatively, you can make a sketch on paper or in another program, and insert that into your Word document.  Upload your completed Word document to Blackboard by clicking on "SUBMIT HERE" in the area where you downloaded this file. Do not email the file to your instructor. You are responsible for ensuring that Blackboard can read the file you uploaded; view your submission directly in Blackboard to ensure it can be seen. "Corrupted files" will be marked as assignments not completed [Show More]
