The planets move around the sun in a path called an?
The path around The sun is called a orbit
How does the international space station travel?
The International Space Station is constantly circling the earth. It is in a state of freefall, meaning that it is literally "Falling" around the earth. Since the station falls at an angle relative to the ground, it will stay on a constant circular path around the earth, until some other force alters its path.
What is path that a planet travels on around the sun called?
Planets have elliptical orbits around the sun.
What part does gravity play in the paths of the planets?
Gravity is the force which directs the path of the planets.
What force pull an object away from the center of a curved path?
Inertia is the "force" that causes an object in a curved path to pull away from the center. Inertia is actually the tendency of anything with mass to resist a change in motion. In other words, an object at rest will not move because of inertia, unless it is acted on by an unbalanced force, and an object in motion will continue to travel at a constant speed in a straight line unless acted on by an unbalanced force. An object traveling in a circular path pulls away from the center because inertia tries to keep the object traveling in a straight line.
What is a force that most affects the path of a planet around the Sun?
A force that most affects the path of a planet around the Sun is gravity.
How gravity affects the path of the arrow of the arrow after it has been released?
force of gravity pulls the arrow down
Which force determines Earth path around the sun?
Gravitational force.
When you throw a ball up into the air on a windy day the motion of your arm is a force that affects the flight path of the ball What other forces affects the path of the ball?
Some forcess that affect the path of the ball is gravity which pushes the ball down to earth and wind could effect the path by blowing the ball a certain direction.
CENTRIPETAL?
A force that acts on a body moving in a circular path and is directed around the object which the body is moving
What keeps the planets on their path?
The gravity of there star keeps them on path and a planets moon is sun around by its planets gravitational force
What is centriptal force?
Is a force that acts on a body moving in a circular path and is directed toward the center around which the body is moving.
How water affects the path of light?
how does water affect light path
How does friction effect archery?
Hi. There is no friction in archery because there is no warmth like rubbing you hands together. FORCE=muXN
How can a hurricane affect communities in its path?
It affects it because it destroys everything in its path.
As you spin an object around what is the force acting out?
There is no force directed away from the center.If there were no force at all on the object, it would continue to travel in a straight line.The force directed inward, toward the center, is what bends its path around the center.
What in centripetal force?
Centripetal force is a force that acts on a body moving in a circular path and is directed toward the center around which the body is moving. It is also known as center seeking force.
