Work is equal to Force x Distance. If no force is applied, no work is done.

The force of gravity is responsible for changing the what in which a satellite moves?

The force of gravity will change the satellites direction, and therefore its velocity.


Which of the two objects sun or Jupiter moves most as a result of this gravitational force and why?

Jupiter moves more, because it has less mass. The force between Sun and Jupiter is the same in both directions; according to force = mass x acceleration, Jupiter will accelerate more from the same force, and therefore move more.Jupiter moves more, because it has less mass.

By definition work is a force that's applied over a specific?

Work - or energy transferred is the product of force and the distance that the object moves in the direction of the force. I just ate poo


What happens to the size of the centripetal force due to gravity acting on the satellite if the satellite moves farther from earth?

The centripetal force decreases. F= mv^2/r = mGM/r^2


What does orbit the sun mean?

Orbit the sun is a simple thing; it is to go around the sun. Where does it do this you might ask well all kinds of places you know.......it can even happen in the asteroid belt located in-between mars and Jupiter.

Is it posible to move in a curved path in the absence of a force?

No. With no external force acting on an object, it moves in a straight line at a constant speed.


What is an example of dynamic?

An external force that moves or changes


Is a man a matter?

No.A matter is a thing that never moves from a place unless it is acted upon by an external force.


What is the first index law?

An object in motion tends to remain in motion unless an external force stops it, an object moves in a straight line unless some force diverts it; and for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. An object in motion tends to remain in motion unless an external force stops it; an object moves in a straight line unless some force diverts it.


Why does change in velocity happen?

When velocity changes, that means that the object either moves faster, or moves slower, or moves in a different direction. Any of these changes is called "acceleration". A force is necessary to cause it.


Is an asteroid a noun?

Yes, the word 'asteroid' is a singular, common, concrete noun; a word for a mass of rock that moves through space, a word for a thing.


Is dropping a book an example of Newton's First Law of Motion?

Not really, Newton's first law of motion is: "Every body remains in a state of rest or uniform motion (constant velocity) unless it is acted upon by an external unbalanced force. [2][3][4] This means that in the absence of a non-zeronet force, the center of mass of a body either remains at rest, or moves at a constant speed in a straight line."


What makes objects moves the way they do?

Observing a Motion would be described as giving a frame of reference to a body then measuring the change in position relative to another frame of reference.To answer a question of what makes an object move would basically be its because of a frame of reference changing relative to your frame of reference. We can also rely on classical Laws like Sir Isaac's.In the absence of a net external force, a body either is at rest or moves with constant velocity.The net external force on a body is equal to the mass of that body times its acceleration; F = ma. Alternatively, the acceleration is directly proportional to the force causing it, and inversely proportional to the mass.Whenever one body exerts a force F onto a second body, the second body exerts the force −F on the first body. F and −F are equal in magnitude and opposite in sense.
