Final answer:

Kepler's laws of planetary motion relate to physics and describe elliptical orbits, areas swept in given times, and the relationship between orbit periods and radii. On the mechanical side, increasing force on gear A translates to increased angular velocity for gear B, if their interaction allows for it.

Step-by-step explanation:

A planetary gear set consists of several components, but the student's question seems to be mixing Kepler's laws of planetary motion with mechanical gears. However, addressing the part about Kepler's laws, which fall under physics, we can say that Kepler's laws describe planetary orbits as elliptical (Kepler's first law), detail how planets sweep equal areas in equal times (Kepler's second law), and relate the periods of orbits to their distance from the sun (Kepler's third law). Moving on to the mechanical aspect of gears, when gear A applies more force and turns clockwise, it will increase the angular velocity of gear B if they are directly connected in such a way that an increase in input torque results in a proportional increase in angular velocity.
