CALCULUS IN SPACE

By: Rianna Dixon

In this presentation, you will learn about how understand Calculus is an important aspect in order for astronomers to do their job well. We will also cover how Calculus aspects are seen in the nature of space. 

INTRODUCTION

Astronomers

Physics

1

Physics is the study of natural science and its motion and properties. It is very useful in space because thee is a lack of gravity. It is a whole different study!

Calculus

2

Astronomers use calculus for various things such as calculating the velocity of a gravitational force to  finding the rate of an asteroid over time. 

noun

the branch of science which deals with celestial objects, space, and the physical universe as a whole.

As you can see, Astronomers use integration in their

work

2. Law of Areas

A line connecting to its sun sweeps equal out area, equal times. 

3. Law of Periods

the SQUARE of the orbital period of a planet is proportional to the cubed power of the semi-major axis of its orbit!

1. Law of  Orbits

All planets move in elliptical orbits.

Kepler's Law

"The most important thing we can do is inspire young minds and to advance the kind of science, math and technology education that will help youngsters take us to the next phase of space travel."
