Guide to the Universe: ASTRONOMY 101 Writing 8 Exploration \( 3-\mathrm{CH} .3 \) Textbook: Understanding Our Universe, \( 4^{\text {th }} \) Edition. PARTII SCIENTIAC WRIIANG SKILLS (TEXTBOOK-PACE 67 . XNSTRUCTKONS: (1) Avoid using of and/or referring to any online sources! (2) Write in your ofrn werds and sufficiently explain your reasoning based or your understanding of the astronemy concepis and thoughts presented in the chapter/textbook and related astronomy/astrophysics journals! W. Q. 1: What is the inertia? How is inertia related to mass? Explain and give an example! W. Q. 2: (a) Define Kepler's laws of planetary motion, and Newton's laws of motion. (b) Cempare and contrast Kepler's and Newton's laws. W. Q.3: When riding in a car, we can sense changes in speed or direction through the forces that the car applies on us. Do we wear seat belts in cars and airplanes to protect us from speed or from acceleration? Explain your answer. W. Q. 4. Two objects are leaving the vicinity of the Sun, one traveling in a bound orbit and the other in an unbound orbit. What can you say about the future of these objects? Would you expect either of them to return? Explain your answer. PART III EXPLORATION - NEWTONIAN FE ATURES PACF 69 .
