During the month of January, the Earth goes through the point of closest approach to the Sun. Using Kepler's Second law we can conclude that the Earth moves faster in January than in July. A. TrueB. False

B. False

Explanation:

Earth moves in elliptical orbit around the sun . If it is at closest distance in January , after 6 months ie in the month of July , it must be again at the closest distance . So it will have faster speed again in JULY. So the statement is FALSE.

  distance on the y-axis and time on the x-axis.

explanation:

the instantaneous velocity = change in position/time taken

the slope of the graph should give instantaneous velocity.

  slope of a graph = change in value of y -axis / change in values of x -axis

  comparing both the equations

    change in value of y -axis = change in position

  change in values of x -axis = time taken

so position values should be on the y axis and time values should be on the x axis.

distance on the y-axis and time on the x-axis.
