earth goes around sun with constant speed in a circular orbit. is the motion uniform or acceleration? give reason
Answers
Answer:
this one
Explanation:
pls mark me the BRAINLIEST
Explanation:
well the orbit is not circular, it's an ellipse,but it's considered as a circular orbit.so the gravitational force between sun and earth is the force which helps the earth to keep its circular motion in a constant orbit .
gravitational force=the force on earth towards the center of orbit
F=ma=GMm/R²=Gravitational force between sun and earth
a=GM/R²
F=force on earth towards the center of the orbit
m=mass of earth
a=acceleration
M=mass of sun
R=radius of the orbit=distance between sun and earth
G= Newton's constant of gravity
as G,M,R are constant, acceleration will be uniform ( direction of acceleration is always towards the center of the orbit)
velocity changes by time to time because it's direction is changed by time to time
