How would gravity cause planets to move if they did not have inertia
Alika [10]
A planet in motion remains in a stable orbit around the sun mainly because of two things: the nature of the gravitational force and because virtually no other forces act on the planet. The momentum of a planet changes during its orbit but not, in general, its inertia -- which relates solely to its mass.

Which of the following causes the iron in the earths core to be solid?
hoa [83]
The iron in the earth's core is solid due to high pressure. At the center of the earth is solid inner core, whose size is two-thirds of moon's size mad made up primarily of iron. The temperature in this core is equal to that of the sun's surface at 5,700 degrees Celsius. But the tremendous pressure caused by gravity prevents the iron from becoming liquid. Surrounding this is the outer core made of nickel and small quantities of other metals and these remain liquid because the pressure here is a bit lower.
