HTC had a miserable Q4, but a wonderful December
Sure, the fourth quarter of 2012 might have been HTC's most miserable quarter yet, with revenue dropping to just $2.07 billion, but there's still hope for the Taiwanese manufacturer, as it has obviously had a stronger-than-usual December.

Taking a closer look at the statistics, we can see that December has actually been a better month than November, by 1.6% in terms of sales growth. While this may seem ridiculously low, it should be noted that December is stronger for retailers, not manufacturers. That's because all the handsets sold by retailers get shipped by the manufacturers in November. Because of this, having a better December than November, even by a small margin, should be seen as a good sign for HTC's future.

Actually, the company has found itself in an interesting situation right now. While it's struggling on the Android front, due to strong competition from Samsung, it has managed to produce the successful Windows Phone 8X and 8S handsets and claim a respectful spot amongst the ranks of WP8 handset manufacturers. Still, we shouldn't forget about the wonderful DROID DNA, which is a model that still very few other Androids can match. Whatever HTC's destiny is, you can be sure that we'll keep you posted.

I hope Windows Phone will continue to aid HTC in their recovery.

How many OEMs are seriously making WP8 phones now? Only Nokia (no choice) and HTC (bribed by MS).

But seriously HTC needs much more than 1 month to see if they have reached the bottom. A host of 1080p competitors to DNA are coming very soon.

Nokia/HTC are the serious OEM's and then you have Samsung/Huaweii/Alcatel (WP7.5)

Yo... it's quite the other way round... HTC stopped innovating on the Android front... with it's non Sense UI which hasn't changed for years now... Multitasking restrictions... They invested in spoiling a beautiful OS...We are getting reports about the Sense 5 which is supposedly a lighter skin with the UI being Simple and Beautiful... If that is true HTC will get back at it....

I don't understand why you WP8 are so jealous about Android...It's tons more functional, beautiful and beautiful than WP8 anyway...Any doubts....?

Android was not killing htc sales but htc was killing themselves by not making their phones competitive enough interms of user expectations in phones i.e low capacity battery, lack of sd. HTC DNA helped them because it was the only 5" 441 ppi phone available. We let's see what will happen whether others are released.

Htc had a nice bundle of The Desire c in some areas bundled with free UrBeats for around 150 smackers,it was received extremely well by shoppers accross the board no Doubt contributing to a good December.

All in all Htc deserve a good turn around,they rested too much on their laurels around 2010 - 2011 but have really put an effort in recently

HTC is great, they just need to make their wonderful devices available on all the carriers, update their devices quicker, and have a removable battery and sd card slot. Personally I don't mind the removable battery, but right now I'm guessing they don't want to sacrifice their great designs for the removable battery/sd card.

We'll see what the M7 brings!

HTC makes great phones... I am using HTC since the WIndows 6.5 days.. My first android was the HTC Desire HD (I chose it over the then ruling Samsung Galaxy S) and my current phone is HTC ONE X(Chose it over Samsung Galaxy S III/ Note II). The main reason for my going with HTC is the premium look of the handset.. but yes.. they need to give regular updates to their phones.. My Desire HD was stuck on Gingerbread (No updates from HTC) but i rooted the phone to Jellybean and it was running perfectly.. I think the HTC Sense(Beautiful UI) doesnt let the phones get updates due to its size and RAM needs.. They should not force the users to buy a new phone by making their phones outdated.. coz they dont know whether a previous HTC user will update to another HTC Phone.. Instead they should keep updating the phones which will keep the users happy and bring them back to HTC.. Also, They make critical errors while making their phones like the HTC ONE X only has 1 GB RAM as compared to SIII. If they are first to the market(with a Quad Core) then they should try to be the best as well.. Samsung has neat software tricks(S Voice and so on) but HTC should not let Samsung beat them in hardware atleast.

Sony Ericsson aims to be the World's largest Android supplier

Sony Ericsson aims to be the World's largest Android supplier
Currently sitting with a 17% share of the global Android market, Sony Ericsson CEO Bert Nordberg said on Wednesday that the joint venture is aiming to be the market share leader. The executive didn't give a market share target or a time frame relating to this quest, but the current leader has a 23% piece of the pie.

For Sony Ericsson to achieve this goal, the company will have to step things up in terms of manufacturing. Currently, all of the joint venture's Android phones are powered by the 1.6 build of the operating system. Most top-end phones using Google's open source OS are loaded with Android 2.1 or 2.2. Sony Ericsson is also going to have to revise their strategy for dealing with U.S. carriers. The current flagship Xperia X10 went months between its launch overseas and its recent release on AT&T. The result was that by the time the X10 was available in the U.S. as a subsidized handset, its specs had been surpassed by many other carrier branded models.

One way that Sony Ericsson could shake things up would be to offer an Android phone with capabilities to link with the Sony PlayStation gaming platform. Recent speculation centered around such a device powered by Android 3.0, that if produced, could help Sony Ericsson take a huge slice of market share away from the other Android phone manufacturers.

I would say that they have a chance starting next year... at best. As one poster commented, they need to have a VZW presence. If they provide a ubiquitous LTE series of Droid devices with high end specs, they would gain inroads here. They are set up, at the moment, as a pure GSM company, hence the need for LTE. Anyhow, one thing that could be said about Sony-Ericsson, when Sony wants to throw money at something to gain a toehold in a business segment, they definitly have the bucks to do it. They just need to do it right... and quickly.

Wow, Teh x10a has some of the most powerful hardware. The Sony built in features do slow down the interface, but if you cannot remove them to make your android experiance better, you do not deserve to be using Android. open one up, play witht he hardware, the Video isn't the best, but once I stripped out all of the required Sony Software, it got a hell of alot faster.

How is it even possible for Son Eric to be anywhere close to 17% ? I think they made that up. I don't know anyone with an Android phone from them.. the X10? no way.

Sony Xperia Z5 line to get an improved Stamina Mode for longer battery life, with Android 6.0 update

Sony Xperia Z5 line to get an improved Stamina Mode for longer battery life, with Android 6.0 update
Sony's Xperia line contains a battery management tool called Stamina Mode. When enabled, this allows the standby time of your Xperia phone to increase by as much as 400%. What kind of witchcraft or black magic has Sony called upon for this? Actually, it is pretty simple technology. By cutting back on the background activities of the phone, the battery gets to have a little siesta now and then, without having to turn on the juice like a sprinter who sees the finish line in sight.

With the Stamina Mode on, your apps will not sync, check for notifications or incoming messages when the screen is off. Usually, those activities can munch on your battery, even with the phone in your pocket and the screen off. Stamina Mode also blocks data traffic and prevents it from waking up your phone. You will still receive calls, SMS messages and MMS notifications. Alarms will still ring, the native calendar app will work, and the LED light will only work to inform you about a low battery.

According to a tweet from tipster @Ricciolo1, once the Sony Xperia Z5, Sony Xperia Z5 Compact and Sony Xperia Z5 Premium are updated to Android 6.0, the Stamina Mode will be improved, making the Batteries "Real Champions." A 2900mAh juicer is inside the Xperia Z5, and a 2700mAh cell powers the Xperia Z5 Compact. A large capacity 3430mAh juicer powers the Xperia Z5 Premium. Sony says that the Xperia Z5 models can run for as long as two-days between charges.

Why can't they just build android to be power efficient like windows phone, no need to turn off all those stuff to make your battery last all day, if I did that with the Lumia 1520 on windows 8.1 the battery would last 5 to 6 days or more.......high usage is 2 days worth of battery, medium usage is 4 days worth of battery........ I cud not do this with note 3 when both came out around same time, it's a shame 2 years later on the note 5, it still do not get better battery than lumia 1520.......Google need to figure out what bugs keeping the operating system back

See this is how trolls work, they always omit the most glaring points. To a skim reader they'd be like "Oh wow the Windows phones like 1520 are so good to have to much battery", but in reality the 1520 is fking huge, so fking big it makes the LG v10 look small.

No your windows phone isn't battery efficient.

26. Fellwalker (Posts: 384; Member since: 04 Apr 2014)

But as an android user of a nexus 5 ie plain android, i am hugely disappointed by the battery life. It loses power doing nothing. it is the same with my Galaxy tab s 8.4. I have XPosed with XPrivacy and it shows the huge amount of activity going on at all times, including by apps that are not switched on, haven't been used since last reboot, and are supposedly being prevented from booting by bootmanager.
I got a Lumia 640 on loan for a fortnight, and it easily lasted the day and once I didn't charge it and it lasted two. During that fortnight I was using it heavily, and not using my n5 or using my tablet as much as normal. If the apps I like were on Windows I'd jump like a shot.

That's just your anecdotal evidence meaning absolutely nothing. I've had my Xperia Z2 last 7 days before, yet I never brag about it because it's a once off experience that isn't true on average.

Stamina mode will stop most background activity and restrict network, but your notifications still come through, just not in real-time because it will open wifi/data for example every 3-5 minute to check for notifications and such instead of all the time. You can whitelist important apps that you need constant noti to. Besides, when screen-on, there's option to partly restrict device power consumption (i.e. lower performance) to increase battery usage. It's great implementation.

Yeah, I have a Z3C and I can say I don't know where this nonsense about android having bad battery life comes from. Standby losses are minimal, and usage is great. With the modifications I've made, even after a year of active use, it is more efficient than stock configuration.

It is just apple fanboys that make bland claims. I have a Z2 and believe me or not, I once lasted 2 days and 14 hours with 8 hours of SOT.

This year, even android phones with QHD screens can match the power efficiency of ios device with Full HD screens. (I'm talking about Note 5 and iPhone 6s plus)

with the latest update on S6 and Note 5, they have the same functionality. In fact, you can change that on per-app basis.

About checking for notifications once in a while, you can use the app tasker. You can code it to your heart's desire. I set the auto-sync to sync for 2 minutes every hour.

Ring the other one

Posted by R. Berg on January 03, 2002

In Reply to: Ring the other one posted by Graeme Forbes on January 03, 2002

: Any help with the derivation of "Ring the other one it's got bells on". Anything to do with the women's fashion of wearing bells in their garters during the Twenties & Thirties?

From Eric Partridge, "A Dictionary of Catch Phrases":

"'pull the other one, it's got bells on it!', occ. prec. by 'now'. 'A rejoinder to a fanciful statement or a tall story. "We don't believe it. Pull the other leg, it has bells on it"' (Granville, 1969).
Frank Shaw attributed it to the 1920s. . . .
Presumably from pictures of court jesters, wearing cap and bells."

Kepler's Three Laws of Planetary Motion

An Overview for Science teachers

By David P. Stern   http://www.phy6.org/stargaze/Sstern.htm

        Below is a lecture given on March 23, 2005, to science teachers of Anne Arundel County, Maryland. It contains an overview of Kepler's laws with examples, applications, problems and related history, a resource for classroom materials
        It is keyed and linked to appropriate sections of "From Stargazers to Starships." The teachers were also given disks with the web material, allowing it to be accessed off-line.

  Much of this overview is drawn from "From Stargazers to Starships", a detailed course on astronomy, Newtonian mechanics, physics of the Sun and spaceflight. Its home page is http://www.phy6.org/stargaze/Sintro.htm and it also includes translations (Spanish, Italian and French), a glossary, a timeline, problems, lesson plans, over 500 answers to questions from users and more. It uses algebra and trigonometry (on which a short course is included), stresses conceptual understanding, history, applications and ties to culture and society, and its sections cover a wide range of levels, from middle school to freshman college.

    A quick guide to sections of "Stargazers" related to Kepler's laws can be found in the section "Kepler's Laws". In what follows, those sections will sometimes be referred to by their numbers. You can also reach the complete list of links either from "Site Map" at the top of this page or from "Back to the Home Page" at the end.

    Note that addresses here are abbreviated, because you are already logged onto "Stargazers."
    Thus the home page is Sintro.htm
    not http://www.phy6.org/stargaze/Sintro.htm

    "Stargazers" contains more material than can ever be covered in a regular class. Still, teachers need a wider knowledge, allowing them to pick and choose material according to circumstances, and to mention odd tidbits without detailed discussion, just to create interest.

    And some very lucky teachers may sometimes find in class a kid or two who really want to find out more. Such students can be directed here to satisfy their interest.

    This overview focuses on three items:
---what are Kepler's laws, what do they mean, and why are they important.

The laws were formulated between 1609 to 16l9, and are (as usually stated):

  1. Planets move around the Sun in ellipses, with the Sun at one focus
  2. The line connecting the Sun to a planet sweeps equal areas in equal times.
  3. The square of the orbital period of a planet is proportional to the cube (3rd power) of the mean distance from the Sun
        (also stated as-- ...of the "semi-major axis" of the orbital ellipse, half the sum of smallest and greatest distances from the Sun)

The Significance of Kepler's Laws

    Kepler's laws describe the motion of planets around the Sun.
Kepler knew 6 planets: Earth, Venus, Mercury, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn.
[IMAGE: The orbit of the Earth around the Sun]
The orbit of the Earth around the Sun.
This is a perspective view, the shape of
the actual orbit is very close to a circle.

    All these (also the Moon) move in nearly the same flat plane (section #2 in "Stargazers"). The solar system is flat like a pancake! The Earth is on the pancake, too, so we see the entire system edge-on--the entire pancake occupies one line (or maybe a narrow strip) cutting across the sky, known as the ecliptic. Every planet, the Moon and Sun too, move along or near the ecliptic. If you see a bunch of bright stars strung out in a line across the sky--with the line perhaps also including the Moon, (whose orbit is also close to that "pancake"), or the place on the horizon where the Sun had just set--you are probably seeing planets.

        Ancient astronomers believed the Earth was the center of the Universe--the stars were on a sphere rotating around it (we now know it's actually the earth that is turning) and the planets were moving on their own "crystal spheres" with variable speed. They usually moved in the same direction, but sometimes their motion reversed for a month or two, and no one knew why.

    A Polish clergyman named Nicholas Copernicus figured out by 1543 that those motions made sense if planets moved around the Sun, if the Earth was one of them, and if the more distant ones moved more slowly. The Earth then sometimes overtakes the slower planets more distant from the Sun, making their positions among stars move backwards (for a while). The orbits of Venus and Mercury are inside that of Earth, so they are never seen far from the Sun (e.g. at midnight).

    I hope you that describing those features--the "pancake" of the ecliptic, the reversed ("retrograde") motion, Venus always close to the Sun--will help students get a feeling for the appearance of planets in the sky, as bright stars moving along the same track as Sun and Moon. The 12 constellations along that line are known as the zodiac, a name which should be familiar to those who follow astrology. Venus, the brightest planet, seems to bounce back and forth across the position of the Sun, and so does Mercury--but since it is much closer to the Sun, you may only see it whe it is most distant from the Sun, and then only shortly after sunset or before sunrise.

    Students will probably have heard or read that the pope and church fought the idea of Copernicus, because in one of the psalms (which are really prayer-poems) the bible says that God "set up the Earth that it will not move" [that was one translation: a more correct one may be "will not collapse"]. Galileo, an Italian contemporary of Kepler who supported the ideas of Copernicus, was tried by the church for disobedience and was sentenced to house arrest for the rest of his life.

    It was an age when people often followed ancient authors (like the Greek Aristoteles) rather than check out with their own eyes what Nature was really doing. When people started checking, observing, experimenting and calculating, that brought the era of the scientific revolution and of technology. Our modern technology is the ultimate result, and Kepler's laws (together with Galileo's work, and that of William Gilbert on magnetism) are important, because they started that revolution .

    Kepler worked with Tycho Brahe, a Danish nobleman who pushed pre-telescope astronomy to its greatest precision, measuring positions of planets as accurately as the eye could make out (Brahe died in 1602 in Prague, now the Czech capital; telescopes started with Galileo around 1609). If you want to read about it, I recommend "Tycho and Kepler" by Kitty Ferguson, reviewed at http://www.phy6.org/outreach/books/Tycho.htm or at least, read the review. Let me quote from it:

        Religious intolerance was widespread--indeed, events were moving towards the 30 years' war (1618-48), Europe's most destructive religious battle, mirrored by the civil war in Britain. Kepler was forced out of Graz, among all other employees of Protestant colleges in town, after the ruling archduke decreed they must leave the city by nightfall, that same day. It was also an era when Kepler's mother was arrested for witchcraft, when most of his numerous children died in childhood, and when Tycho's marriage was regarded as a second-rate "slegfred" union because his chosen wife was not from the nobility.

    Try to get that across to students, too. 1620 was when the "Pilgrims" landed in Plymouth Rock, fleeing from the outbreak of the religious war which later devastated Europe. Quite possibly it was the memory of such wars that led the US, much later, to decree the separation of church and state. Explain how the development of science and society are often closely related.

Kepler's First Law

    (1) Planets move around the Sun in ellipses, with the Sun at one focus

First explain what an ellipse is: one of the "conic sections, " shapes obtaining by slicing a cone with a flat surface. A flashlight creates a cone of light: aim it at a flat wall and you get a conic section.

    Hit the wall perpendicular. The wall cuts the cone perpendicular to its axis and you get a circle of light.

    Slant the cone relative to the wall: an ellipse. The more you slant, the more far away the ellipse closes.
      The curves generated as
     "conic sections" when flat
    planes are cut across a cone.

    Finally, if the axis of the cone is parallel to the wall, the curve never closes: you get a parabola. Kepler's laws (as we now know them) allow all conic sections, and parabolas are very close to the orbits of nonperiodic comets, which start very far away.

    (Tilt still more and you get hyperbolas--not only don't the trajectories close, but the directions of coming and going make a definite angle).

Ellipses have other properties--they have two special points, "foci", and if you take any two points on the ellipse, the sum of distances (r1+r2) from the two foci is always the same (for that ellipse). The end of section #11 also has a nice story "Whispers in the US Capitol", on how an ellipsoid--the surface created by twirling an ellipse around its axis--can focus sound waves. --------------------------------------

    There is much, much more... but let me just bring up two points. They are good points to raise in class, because they bring together Kepler's work of about 1610 with the latest scientific discoveries of the 21st century.

    First of all, a very famous ellipse is shown below. Its story is told in section #S7-a

    You probably all know our sun is part of a huge disk-shaped collection of stars--about 100 billion at last count--called the galaxy. It's a flat disk, a pancake like the solar system--and here too, we look at that pancake sideways, so it too cuts out view in a narrow strip. In that strip we see a belt of faint stars running all around the globe of the sky, the "Milky Way."

Orbit of star S2

    What holds our galaxy (and more distant ones) together? For a long time it was believed there was a humongous black hole in the middle, but that middle was obscured by dust clouds and hence not easy to observe. Recently, high resolution telescopes sensitive to infra red light were built, which can see though the dust, and they have shown a large concentration of fast moving stars near the center of the galaxy, in orbits which obey Kepler's laws. The web site shows the ellipse of a star orbiting the center once in 15.2 years, and calculations deduce a mass of about 3.7 million suns, give or take 1.5 millions.

        [For astronomers only: the central mass helps keep the galaxy together, but there is a lot of more mass involved, so the rotation of the more extended parts of galaxies does not obey Kepler's 3rd law. In fact, their main parts seem to rotate like solid disks, which is hard to explain unless we assume galaxies contain, in addition to shining stars, a lot of "dark matter" which affects gravity but is invisible. See note and end of #20]

    Second, we said the Earth orbits the Sun (and by the way, the same laws also hold for artificial satellites that orbit Earth). But imagine you could gradually make Earth heavier and heavier, and the Sun at the same time lighter and lighter. What then? At the point where Earth and Sun are equally heavy--which orbits which?

    About 50 years after Kepler Isaac Newton explained Kepler's laws (and in doing so, firmly established the "scientific revolution", from there on). Here is what he did:

    ---First he devised the basic laws of motion--known ever since then as "Newton's 3 laws of motion", and you probably teach them, too.

    ---Second, he gave us the law of universal gravitation--showed that the same force which caused apples and stones to fall down, also held the Moon in its orbit--and therefore, probably, created all orbits in the solar system.

        (For more on that (even that apple), see section #20
    http://www.phy6.org/stargaze/Sgravity.htm )

    --and third, he, proved that if the above two held, Kepler's laws could be derived mathematically...

    ... but with one small change: planets orbited not around the Sun, but around a common center of gravity. While the Earth makes a big circuit each year, the Sun also makes, a very small one, around the Sun-Earth center of gravity.

    (actually, the Sun is also moved by Jupiter, Saturn etc.. and the resultant pattern is complicated.)

    Why is this important? Because it helps us discover if other stars have planets! We cannot see those planets--too dim--but if the star wiggles back and forth in a complicated way, it may be because a planet makes it move so.

    Does it work? Yes and no (end of #11a). Many planets have been discovered this way, but most of them are too close to the star (wiggles on a time scale of weeks) and are very big. To discover Earth-like planets is harder--the wiggle is smaller and we need observe for many years to extract a periodicity of the order of one year. But stay tuned, astronomers are working on it.

Kepler's 2nd law

    (2) The line connecting the Sun to a planet sweeps
            equal areas in equal times.

(That line is sometimes called "the radius vector").
 Illustrating Kepler's 2nd law:
 segments AB and CD take
 equal times to cover.

    An ellipse is symmetric elongated oval, with two foci symmetrically locates towards the "sharper" ends--one focus contains the Sun, the other is empty. (Draw such an ellipse.) If we bring the foci closer and closer, the ellipse appears more and more like a circle, and when they overlap, we do have a circle.

        [ The Earth's orbit, and most planetary orbits, are very close to circles. If one you were shown the Earth's orbit without the Sun at the focus, you would probably not be able to distinguish it from a circle. With the Sun included, though, you might notice it was slightly off-center.]

    The point of Kepler's 2nd law is that, although the orbit is symmetric, the motion is not. A planet speeds up as it approaches the Sun, gets its greatest velocity when passing closest, then slows down again.

    (The star S2 speeds up to 2% of velocity of light when approaching the black hole at the center of our galaxy!)

    What happen is best understood in terms of energy. As the planet moves away from the Sun (or the satellite from Earth), it loses energy by overcoming the pull of gravity, and it slows down, like a stone thrown upwards. And like the stone, it regains its energy (completely--no air resistance in space) as it comes back.

    There is an easy exercise here, which is also in section #12A

    Suppose you have a planet whose smallest/greatest distance from the center are (r1, r2)--they are called perihelion and aphelion [ap-helion]) if the center is the Sun, or (perigee, apogee) if the center is the Earth. (Distances are always measured from the center of the bodies, or from centers of gravity)

    Say it is a planet orbiting the Sun. Then
--    the velocity V1 at perihelion is the fastest one for the orbit. It is therefore the distance covered in one second at perihelion.
--    the velocity V2 at aphelion is the slowest one for the orbit. It is therefore the distance covered in one second at aphelion.

The area swept by the "radius vector" r during one second after perihelion is a right-angled triangle of base V1, so its area is 0.5 r1 V1

The area swept by the "radius vector" r during one second after aphelion is a right-angled triangle of base V2, so its area is 0.5 r2 V2

By the law of areas, both areas are the same, so

r1 V1   =   r2 V2

Divide both sides by r1V2
and get
V1:V2   =   r2:r1

    If the aphelion r2 is 3 times the distance of perihelion, the velocity V2 there is 3 times slower. (Note: this ratio only works at these two points of the orbit. At other point the velocity and the radius are not perpendicular.)

    When are we closest to the Sun? About January 4th, by about 1.5%, not enough to make the Sun look different.
    Here is a quick way to demonstrate this asymmetry (although you may not have time to cover it in class). Draw an ellipse, with the long axis and a line perpendicular to it through the Sun)
    It so happens (pure accident) that spring equinox and fall equinox, when day and night are equal, typically March 21, September 22 or 23, fall very close to that perpendicular line.

    Look at the schematic view of the Earth's orbit in section #3. The long axis (as defined above) is the line connecting December-June in that drawing, and the perpendicular line is the one connecting March-September.

    If the orbit were exactly a circle (in which case what we call "long axis would be completely arbitrary, a diameter no different from any other), then by Kepler's 2nd law, the Earth would move at a constant speed and spend equal times in the summer half and the winter half of the year. Actually, it spends about 2 days fewer in the winter half! (Take a calendar and count days from one equinox to the other). That may mean

  • The winter half is shorter, or
  • The Earth moves faster in the winter half

Actually, both conditions hold, if Earth is closest to the Sun around January 4. The "half" of the ellipse (determined by the perpendicular line defined above) which is closer to the Sun is smaller (demonstrate with a drawing of an ellipse that is notably oval), and by Kepler's 2nd law, the Earth moves faster when closer to the Sun.

    The fact the northern hemisphere is closest to the Sun in mid-winter and most distance in mid-summer, moderates the seasons, making them milder.
    In the southern hemisphere, they would be harsher, although the big oceans there moderate this effect.

    But the axis of the Earth moves around a cone, in about 26000 years. In 13,000 years we will be closest to the Sun in midsummer, and climate will get harsher. As described in section 7, this may be one effect tied to the origins of ice ages, but the details are beyond the scope of this review.

Kepler's 3rd Law

    (3) The square of the orbital period of a planet is proportional
    to the cube of the mean distance from the Sun

    (also stated as-- ...of the "semi-major axis" of the orbital ellipse, half the sum of smallest and greatest distances from the Sun)

    This is a mathematical law, and your students need calculators with square roots, also 3/2 powers and 2/3 powers (and maybe cube roots or 1/3 powers, same thing)..

    If two planets (or two Earth satellites--works the same) have orbital periods T1 and T2 days or years, and mean distances from the Sun (or semi-major axes) A1 and A2 then the formula expressing the 3rd law is

(T1 / T2)2   =   (A1 / A2)3

    Students will ask right away--we can count days to get orbital period T (although it may be tricky, we need subtract the Earth's motion around the Sun)--but how do we know distance A?

    In truth, we don't, but notice only ratios of distances are needed, and units don't affect ratios. For instance, suppose "Planet 2" is the Earth, and all times are in years. Then T2 =1 (year) and we can measure all distances in Astronomical Units (AU) , the mean Sun-Earth distance, so that A2 =1 (AU). The law then becomes, for any other planet,

(T1)2   =   (A1)3
This can be checked, and in section 10 you find the results on a table:

Kepler's 3rd Law
T in years, a in astronomical units; then T2 = a3
Discrepancies are from limited accuracy
Planet Period T Dist. a fr. Sun T2 a3
Mercury 0.241 0.387 0.05808 0.05796
Venus 0.616 0.723 0.37946 0.37793
Earth 1 1 1 1
Mars 1.88 1.524 3.5344 3.5396
Jupiter 11.9 5.203 141.61 140.85
Saturn 29.5 9.539 870.25 867.98
Uranus 84.0 19.191 7056 7068
Neptune 165.0 30.071 27225 27192
Pluto 248.0 39.457 61504 61429

    You can see that, even with our limited accuracy, the law holds pretty well. It also shows the greater the distance, the slower the motion, which leads to the overtaking of outer planets by the Earth, making them (for a while) seem to move backwards relative to the fixed stars in the sky. You can prove all this mathematically for circular orbits using Newton's laws (see section #21), but again, I'll skip that.

    In kilometers the astronomical unit is about 150,000,000 km, 400 times the Moon's distance. All sorts of attempts were made to derive it, starting with the ancient Greek Aristarchus (sect. #9a) and they are discussed in sect #10a. It was first done with any accuracy in 1672, and the excitement over the recent "transit of Venus" in front of the Sun was motivated by a proposal made around then by Halley (of comet fame) to use such rare transits to measure the AU. The most recent ones occurred in 2004 and 2012, then more than a century passes before the next one. A crude version of the calculation, not a short one, is in sections #12c to #12e of "Stargazers". (Some other "methods" can be found on the web, involving the transit of Venus but not its duration, and they are not genuine.)

    All sorts of problems can be solved with Kepler's 3rd law. Here are a few:

  1. How long does it take to reach Mars, in the most efficient orbit? This is called the "Hohmann Transfer Orbit" (Wolfgang Hohmann, 1925). The spaceship must first get free of Earth (it still orbits the Sun together with Earth, at 30 km/s, at a distance of 1 AU), then it adds speed so that its aphelion (in its orbit around the Sun) just grazes the orbit of Mars, A = 1.524 AU (ignoring ellipticity).
    The Hohmann Transfer Orbit

        For the Hohmann orbit, the smallest distance is 1.00 AU (Earth), the largest one 1.524 AU (Mars), so the semi-major axis is

    A = 0.5(1.00 + 1.524) = 1.262 AU
    A3 = 2.00992 = T2

    The period is the square root T = 1.412 years
    To reach Mars takes just half an orbit or T/2 = 0.7088 years
    It equals about 8.5 months; more details are in section #21b.

  2. How long would it take for a spacecraft from Earth to reach the Sun?
    The Sun is the hardest object in the solar system to reach! It's far easier to escape to interstellar space (and those people who propose hurling nuclear waste into the Sun should learn more astronomy.)

        To reach the Sun directly from Earth, we need shoot the spacecraft free of Earth. It still orbits the Sun with Earth, at 30 km/sec (low Earth orbit only takes 8 km/s), so we need give it an opposing thrust, adding (-30 km/s) to its velocity. It then falls straight into the Sun.

        That orbit is also an ellipse, though a very skinny one. Its total length is 1 (AU), so the semimajor axis is A = 0.5 AU. By the 3rd law, A3 = 0.125 = T2, and taking the square root , T=0.35355 years. We need divide this by 2 (it's a one-way trip!) and multiply by 365.25 to get days. Multiplying:

    T/2 = (0.5) 0.35355 (365.25) = 64.6 days

        Note: if you miss the Sun, and the spacecraft does not evaporate in the solar heat, it comes right back to Earth's orbit!

  3. How far (from the center of Earth) do synchronous satellites orbit? These are (mostly) communication satellites and have a 24 hour period, which helps match longitude with the same station, keeping it in view at any time. The Moon is at 60 RE (earth radii) away and has a period of T = 27.3217 days (see section 20 on gravitation). The synchronous orbit is circular, so A is also its radius R. We get
    (R/ 60)3   =   R3 / 216,000   =   (1 / 27.3217 days)2
               =   1/ (27.3217 days)2   =   1 / 746.5753

    R3   =   216,00/746.5753   =   289.32

    This number is between 63 = 216 and 73 = 343, so when the calculator gives R = 6.614 RE. you know you've got it about right.

  4. How far does Halley's comet go?

    Its period is about 75 years, and 752 = 5625. Take the cube root: A = 17.784 AU. That, however is the SEMImajor axis. The length of the entire orbital ellipse is 2A = 35.57 AU. Perihelion is inside the Earth's orbit, less than 1 AU from the Sun, so aphelion is about 35 AU from the Sun--as the table shows, somewhere between Neptune's orbit and Pluto's

If you are a teacher trying to cover Kepler's laws, I hope this quick overview has given you a wide range of tools and insights which may prove useful in the classroom.

Now pass it along! You will find a lot more in the web sites described here.

Newton's Laws - Lesson 1 - Newton's First Law of Motion

Inertia and Mass

Newton's first law of motion states that "An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force." Objects tend to "keep on doing what they're doing." In fact, it is the natural tendency of objects to resist changes in their state of motion. This tendency to resist changes in their state of motion is described as inertia.
Inertia: the resistance an object has to a change in its state of motion.

Newton's conception of inertia stood in direct opposition to more popular conceptions about motion. The dominant thought prior to Newton's day was that it was the natural tendency of objects to come to a rest position. Moving objects, so it was believed, would eventually stop moving; a force was necessary to keep an object moving. But if left to itself, a moving object would eventually come to rest and an object at rest would stay at rest; thus, the idea that dominated people's thinking for nearly 2000 years prior to Newton was that it was the natural tendency of all objects to assume a rest position.

Galileo and the Concept of Inertia

Galileo, a premier scientist in the seventeenth century, developed the concept of inertia. Galileo reasoned that moving objects eventually stop because of a force called friction. In experiments using a pair of inclined planes facing each other, Galileo observed that a ball would roll down one plane and up the opposite plane to approximately the same height. If smoother planes were used, the ball would roll up the opposite plane even closer to the original height. Galileo reasoned that any difference between initial and final heights was due to the presence of friction. Galileo postulated that if friction could be entirely eliminated, then the ball would reach exactly the same height.

Galileo further observed that regardless of the angle at which the planes were oriented, the final height was almost always equal to the initial height. If the slope of the opposite incline were reduced, then the ball would roll a further distance in order to reach that original height.

Galileo's reasoning continued - if the opposite incline were elevated at nearly a 0-degree angle, then the ball would roll almost forever in an effort to reach the original height. And if the opposing incline was not even inclined at all (that is, if it were oriented along the horizontal), then ... an object in motion would continue in motion... .

Forces Don't Keep Objects Moving

Isaac Newton built on Galileo's thoughts about motion. Newton's first law of motion declares that a force is not needed to keep an object in motion. Slide a book across a table and watch it slide to a rest position. The book in motion on the table top does not come to a rest position because of the absence of a force; rather it is the presence of a force - that force being the force of friction - that brings the book to a rest position. In the absence of a force of friction, the book would continue in motion with the same speed and direction - forever! (Or at least to the end of the table top.) A force is not required to keep a moving book in motion. In actuality, it is a force that brings the book to rest.

Mass as a Measure of the Amount of Inertia

All objects resist changes in their state of motion. All objects have this tendency - they have inertia. But do some objects have more of a tendency to resist changes than others? Absolutely yes! The tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion varies with mass. Mass is that quantity that is solely dependent upon the inertia of an object. The more inertia that an object has, the more mass that it has. A more massive object has a greater tendency to resist changes in its state of motion.

Suppose that there are two seemingly identical bricks at rest on the physics lecture table. Yet one brick consists of mortar and the other brick consists of Styrofoam. Without lifting the bricks, how could you tell which brick was the Styrofoam brick? You could give the bricks an identical push in an effort to change their state of motion. The brick that offers the least resistance is the brick with the least inertia - and therefore the brick with the least mass (i.e., the Styrofoam brick).

A common physics demonstration relies on this principle that the more massive the object, the more that object resist changes in its state of motion. The demonstration goes as follows: several massive books are placed upon a teacher's head. A wooden board is placed on top of the books and a hammer is used to drive a nail into the board. Due to the large mass of the books, the force of the hammer is sufficiently resisted (inertia). This is demonstrated by the fact that the teacher does not feel the hammer blow. (Of course, this story may explain many of the observations that you previously have made concerning your "weird physics teacher.") A common variation of this demonstration involves breaking a brick over the teacher's hand using the swift blow of a hammer. The massive bricks resist the force and the hand is not hurt. (CAUTION: do not try these demonstrations at home.)

Watch It!

A physics instructor explains the property of inertia using a phun physics demonstration.

2. A 2-kg object is moving horizontally with a speed of 4 m/s. How much net force is required to keep the object moving at this speed and in this direction?

See Answer

3. Mac and Tosh are arguing in the cafeteria. Mac says that if he flings the Jell-O with a greater speed it will have a greater inertia. Tosh argues that inertia does not depend upon speed, but rather upon mass. Who do you agree with? Explain why.

6. Ben Tooclose is being chased through the woods by a bull moose that he was attempting to photograph. The enormous mass of the bull moose is extremely intimidating. Yet, if Ben makes a zigzag pattern through the woods, he will be able to use the large mass of the moose to his own advantage. Explain this in terms of inertia and Newton's first law of motion.

7. Two bricks are resting on edge of the lab table. Shirley Sheshort stands on her toes and spots the two bricks. She acquires an intense desire to know which of the two bricks are most massive. Since Shirley is vertically challenged, she is unable to reach high enough and lift the bricks; she can however reach high enough to give the bricks a push. Discuss how the process of pushing the bricks will allow Shirley to determine which of the two bricks is most massive. What difference will Shirley observe and how can this observation lead to the necessary conclusion?

Heart to Heart Open Golf Tourney Saturday for local family

Tickets still available

August 22, 2012
Pine Island Eagle

To help raise funds for a local man who's recently gone through an extensive operation, a very special Heart to Heart Open Golf Tournament and two-man-scramble will take place Saturday at The Plantation Golf and Country Club in Fort Myers.

Registration will begin at 8 a.m. and a shotgun start at 8:30 a.m..

"Everything has been coming along very nicely, and we have graciously received much-needed community support," said Ryan Danis, owner of Danis Insurance, avid golfer and friend and colleague of the recipient to this benefit. "This tournament is for Team Vandenberg, a local family from South Africa."

Danis explained Craig's condition.

"At 19, the family's father, Craig Vandenberg, got pneumonia in South Africa. He didn't get treatment in time, and it made an infection around his heart wall, enlarging his heart. He's been on a pacemaker since he was 19. The pacemaker recently stopped working, and he didn't know it. Luckily, doctors found out in time and were able to repair his heart valve. Once they did that, now regulating his heart, the blood flow was then overpowering his liver and kidneys, and he had to go into an induced coma. He's only 34 years old. He's been out of work now for three months, and we're holding this fund-raiser to help his family with bills and expenses."

During the benefit there will be several 50/50 raffles, raffle prize giveaways, a closest-to-the-pin contest - and even a $25,000 cash prize to the player who makes a hole-in-one on a certain hole that day.

"The golf course is beautiful. I'm an avid golfer, and it literally is one of the nicest golf courses in the county," Danis said. "The cost that day is $100 per player, which includes green fees, range balls, entrance into all of the raffles, prizes and giveaways, and a full buffet lunch at the country club that day. We may also host benefits in the future, to help continue helping Craig and his family."

There is still time to pre-register. Preregistration to the golf tournament is very much appreciated, as well as cash or check sign-ups, as there most likely will not be a credit card machine on the greens that day.

To pre-register, call Danis at 810-9156 or email

Visit the tournament's Facebook page, by visiting and searching "Heart to Heart Open Golf Tournament."

The Plantation Golf and Country Club is at 10500 Dartington Drive.

Any business interested in making a donation to the raffle prizes, can call Danis at 810-9156.

One tourism event you won’t see in Bullitt County

-A A +A

My Views

By Stephen Thomas

 SHEPHERDSVILLE - The staff at The Pioneer News wishes staff writer Alex Wimsatt the best as he moves on to a new position with Bullitt County Tourism.

As a friendly gesture to his service with the newspaper, I agreed to cover his first scheduled Tourism event over the past weekend, one with an Easter theme.

Since I would be pressed for time this week with Alex's departure, I decided to audiotape the event coverage, which would then be tied into a feed for one of our flunkies at the office to also hear and then transcribe for the paper.

Craigslist rant from an ACO

Ask questions about Animal Control situations and local laws. Several of our members are ACOs and we'll try our best to help you! Please note: this area is not for "bashing" Animal Control Officers.

Postby TheRedQueen » June 17th, 2008, 9:48 am

forgive me if this has been posted's my first time seeing it...and I sure got a chuckle out of it...

Well, this one has been several years in the making.

Hello kids. I'm your friendly neighborhood Animal Control Officer, and I'd like to officially tell you all to bite my ass. Before I ride off into the sunset, however - here are some parting words...

1) To all the jackasses who ask me if I don't have something better to do than giving them a ticket for no license/dog off leash/being a douchebag. The answer is no. No, I have nothing better than to take my precious time and taxpayer dollars to write you a COMPLETELY LAME ticket for not doing what was your responsibility to do in the first place. I love nothing more than babysitting grown adults who seem incapable of wiping their own ass without law enforcement present. Thanks, dirtbags.

2) To all the jackasses who ask me why I'm not rounding up all the killer pitbulls. Where...WHERE!? Where are all the killer pitbulls that are roaming the streets and attacking your women and children. My god, the city should just issue you all SHOTGUNS to fend off these land sharks. In other news, THERE IS NO VICIOUS PITBULL EPIDEMIC. Let's all hold hands and say it together folks, the only epidemic is misinformation, ignorance and animal neglect. Thanks, please drive through to the second window and receive a punch in the face.

3) To all the jackasses who refuse to spay/neuter, or who think they're "breeders" because they put fido and fifi together and produced a litter of mongrels who will all likely end up in a barrel behind the shelter by the time they reach sexual maturity: Die. Diediediediedie. I wish to god that there was a mandatory spay/neuter law and that the penalty for breaking it was to be forced to spend a day working in the euthanasia room. Seriously. It's simple smurfing math, people. Every dog or cat you carelessly add into this world takes away a home for a dog or cat that is already here. So breeding means have a good day, executioners! I hope the 50 bucks you made off that puppy sure feels good.

4) There is no goddamn thing as "No Kill". I hate to burst your collective bubble, but when you call and ask if our shelter is "no kill", don't treat me like a kitten murderer when I tell you NO. There are simply not enough resources or homes available to find every pet a home and that is NOT MY FAULT. Quite simply, there is no "dog whisperer" in the world who can save your eight year old Rottweiler that spent his entire life chained to a tree in your backyard. Sorry, buster - but this one's on you. And the places that claim to be "No Kill"? They simply send the unplaceable pets across the street to Animal Control who do the killing for them. WAKE. UP. Until mandatory spay/neuter becomes law, killing is going to happen.

5)You know what's fun? Being told that I must "really hate dogs" because I'm an Animal Control Officer. Yessir. I put up with retards like you, the abysmally low pay, and this fabulously flattering uniform just so I can take all my bitterness out on your dog. That's also why I foster animals, paying for their care out of my own pocket and using up my precious little free time to do it. Yeah, that's it. Now how's about you shut your mouth and put a leash on your dog you asshole, so I don't have to peel him off the street later.

6) LEASHES, PEOPLE. They're not just for the "bad dogs". Quite frankly, dogs are carnivores - predators, if you will. When they see something furry and running fast, like a squirrel or a cat - they tend to chase after it. Next thing you know, I'm scooping up Scooby with a plastic bag...not fun. Or, how about the person who does not in fact, like dogs and has to be accosted by your poochie when they walk down the street? Or, what about the dog aggressive dog being walked safely and in control on a leash until your unleashed dog comes up and just wants to say "hi"? Dog fights are pretty ugly, and NO ONE seems to anticipate them until it's too late. So don't piss and moan when I give you a verbal warning for having your dog off leash...because that leads me to:

7) Your mouth will write you a ticket. Oh yeah, no kidding. I hate writing tickets. They're a pain in the ass. I have to deal with your melt down, then I have to go back to the office and write a report about it. Next, I have to show up in court because you want to contest the ticket, even though 60% of the time YOU NEVER SHOW UP YOU CHICKENSHIT BASTARDS. So, the deal is this - if you're nice and not eggregiously breaking the law, I'm probably just going to warn you and then go about my day. As soon as you break out the lip however, I'm breaking out the ticket book. Press hard, there's four copies.

In conclusion. I quit! Actually, you dipshits broke me a while back and it's been months of therapy before I could write this little missive. I still shudder when I see a pair of testicles on a dog though, so watch out.

A raid on a Mason City house Friday where items from a suspected burglary were expected to be found also turned up a methamphetamine manufacturing operation and resulted in the arrest of four people.

Mason County Sheriff Paul Gann said the department executed a search warrant Friday at 418 S. Keefer St., where items taken in a recent burglary were believed to be held. Gann said he could not reveal many details of the raid yet, because charges have not been filed by the Mason County State’s Attorney, but he said that several stolen items were found in the residence, as were meth manufacturing materials.

Authorities arrested four Mason City residents. Bradin M. Taylor, 19, was arrested on charges of residential burglary, theft of more than $300 worth of property, criminal trespass to residence, possession of drug paraphernalia, possession of a firearm without a firearm owner’s identification card and possession of cannabis. Brendin L. Williams, 22, Teddy Lee, 25, and 42-year-old Denise A. Taylor were all arrested on charges of theft of more than $300 worth of property, methamphetamine manufacturing, possession of drug paraphernalia and possession of cannabis.

According to an email from the Mason County Sheriff’s Office, all four of the arrested people were sharing the residence.

For Williams, this latest arrest likely will not help him out with a sentencing hearing that was scheduled for April 10 after Eighth Circuit Judge Alan D. Tucker revoked his probation Feb. 6.

Williams had been placed on probation in March 2013, almost exactly one year after he fired a gun at an empty vehicle just across the Logan County line and then led police on a high-speed chase through Mason City with a minor in the passenger seat, ditching his gun and drugs all the while. He eventually bailed into a relative’s apartment in the city and prompted several law enforcement agencies, fearful they might have a stand-off situation on their hands, to respond before Williams was retrieved peacefully without further incident.

Williams pleaded guilty to aggravated fleeing and resisting arrest and to several traffic citations in exchange for the dismissal of the charges of child endangerment, possession of a firearm, possession of meth and disposing of meth manufacturing waste. He was sentenced at the time to 180 days in jail and 24 months of probation.

Williams’ probation was revoked due to a September arrest in Lincoln for driving with a revoked license, possession of drug paraphernalia and driving with an open alcohol container, which a Lincoln officer discovered when he performed a traffic stop on Williams, who drove past the Lincoln police station while blasting loud music at about 2:30 a.m.

All four of the suspects were still in custody at the Mason County Jail in Havana as of Monday.

Explore Europa

Gary Mitchell

November 26, 2012

I think the next big thing we should do is explore Europa. From what we know so far, Europa is the only place within reach that has a good chance of harboring life--life that formed "elsewhere." Maybe there isn't anything there. Maybe there's only single-celled organisms. Or there could be something actually swimming around. How can we not go take a look? Compared to the amount of money we spend making war etc., the cost of exploring Europa is mere pocket change. A thousand years from now, people won't remember most of what we think is so important today. But they will remember our major discoveries. Most of us learned about Columbus' voyage to the New World as young school children, but how many of us remember the politics or economic concerns at that time? If we discover life on Europa, THAT will be remembered.
