PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!! A group of students designed a solar system experiment in an ice rink. The steps of the experiment are listed below.

Make a student stand in the middle of the rink holding one end of a rope. Make another student hold the other end of the rope and skate around the first student. Ask the first student to pull in the rope slowly. Observe the second student move faster when the first student pulls in the rope.

The experiment most likely demonstrates


Kepler's law of equal area
Newton's third law of motion
the geocentric model of solar system
the heliocentric model of solar system

This procedure demonstrated a badly misunderstood
version of Kepler's Law of Equal Areas.

Answer:

Kepler's law of equal area

Step-by-step explanation:

Kepler gave the planetary laws of motion which described the motion of the planets in elliptical path around the sun.

Kepler's law of equal areas states that the line joining the planet and the sun sweeps equal areas in equal interval of time. This implies, closer the planet, faster it would revolve around the sun.

According to the question, in the experiment, a rope connects two students. As the first student pulls in the rope, the second student moves faster. This experiment is most likely demonstrating Kepler's law of equal areas.
