how centripetel force is provided to a planet orbiting the sun
Answers
Answer:
The Sun, Earth, moon and all other objects in the solar system attract each other with a force called gravity. This gravitational force only attracts and never repels and can act over an infinite distance.
Newton explained this force in his law of universal gravitation. He stated that everybody in the universe attracts every other body with a force that is proportional to the product of the masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
Where M1 and M2 are two masses and r is the distance between them.
G is called the universal gravitational constant of gravitation as is equal to 6.67x10-11Nm2kg-2
The sun is the largest body in the solar system. It contains more than 99% of the mass of the solar system. The sun with it dominant mass exerts the greatest gravitational force in the solar system and holds all the other objects in orbit and governs their motion.
Answer:
Explanation:
It is a force of attraction acting on the planets by the sun.
Centripetel means center seeking.
That is the object tries to go to the center.
If the force stops then it's motion is tangential...
