Gravity holds planets in orbit because planets are attracted to each other’s gravitational force true or false

It's true that gravity holds planets in orbit. However, this is due to the gravitational influence of the sun, not the gravitational influence of other planets.
Tema [17]3 years ago
6 0

Answer: Hello mate!

The orbit of the planets is around the sun, which means that the principal contribution in the forces is due to the sun's gravity.

But, it is true that planets experience a gravitational force due other planets, and this also contributes to the actual orbits (suppose that you "remove" a planet, then the orbit of the other planets may change)

So this is false; the actual statement would be true if it was:

"Gravity holds planets in orbit because planets are attracted to each other’s and the sun gravitational force."

And there are other contributors, like satellites and such, but those are really minor compared with the previous contributions.

A ___ force is not path-dependent and does not change the overall mechanical energy of an object.​
finlep [7]

Answer:

conservative

Explanation:

Nonconservative force is the force that depends on a path, however conservative does not depend on a path and it is not associated with the potential energy. When the work is done by an unconservative force, mechanical energy is added or removed. Friction is the best example for a non-conservative force. When these non-conservative forces are acting, the mechanical energy changes but these are not preserved.

hope this helped!

What is the first law of conservation of energy? How is the law applicable to the earths energy balance
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

First law of thermodynamic state that energy is always conserved, in other word, energy cannot be created or destroyed.

This means that energy can only transfer from one source to another.

For example, the electricity we used to power our phone didn't come from nowhere.

We charge our phone using the energy from the electricity from the outlet.

The outlet gets its energy from the power plant, who generated that energy from burning coal.

The coal they burned got their energy while they were alive as plants.

The plants got their energy from the sun.

The sun got its energy from other cosmic stuff and so on...

My point is that the energy we use will always cycle around. It doesn't come from thin air and it doesn't disappear into thin air either. This help keeps things balance because if energy is created out of thin air then the earth might just blow up. If energy gets erased into thin air then there'll be nothing to fuel life.
