Why planets not speed away as they revolve around the sun?
The planets maintain their orbit around the sun because of the gravitational attraction between the sun and the planet. All massive objects have an attraction to each other (the force is proportional to the product of the two masses divided by the square of the distance between them). Planets in orbit are in balance between the law of momentum which makes them tend to go in straight line and the gravitational law which makes then tend to accelerate into the sun.
What does the magnitude of the gravitational attraction of two bodies depend on?
On both masses, and on the distance.
Which two planets are most similar in size and distance from the sun?
Venus and Earth
How is the sun and it's planets are attracted?
The sun and its planets are attracted to each other through gravitational forces. Gravity is the force of attraction between any two objects with mass. The sun's immense mass creates a gravitational pull that keeps the planets in their orbits, causing them to revolve around the sun.
The force of attraction between the poles of two magnets is most greatly affected by?
the distance between them
What are two factors that determine graviational attraction on planets?
Mass and distance.
How does distance affect gravitional attraction of two objects?
For every doubling of distance, the "force of attraction" is reduced by a factor of four. For every halving of distance, the "force of attraction" is increased by a factor of four.
What is the attraction between any two heavenly bodies?
Gravity. The sun has a wide gravitational field, and so the planets in the solar system orbit around the sun, as they are caught in the gravitational field.
How do mass and distance affect attraction between objects?
Well, the equation for calculating the gravitational force between two objects is Fg= GMm/r2. So, G is the universal gravitation constant. Uppercase M is the larger mass and lowercase m is the smaller mass of the two. R is the distance between the centre of the two masses assuming they are spherical masses. So, to answer your question, the mass and distance directly affects the gravitational attraction of two objects. The greater the mass and the less distance, the greater the gravitational attraction. When distance is increased between two objects, the gravitational attraction decreases. This goes the same for mass.
Can gravity be shielded?
At the moment no, the attraction of masses to one another is a force that can not be isolated, defied, or removed. It can only be reduced by an increased distance between two bodies of masses.
What difference does distance make on the magnetic force of attraction between two magnets?
Magnetic force of attraction is invesely proportional to distance between two poles.
What would happen to he force of attraction between 2 objects if the distance between them were increased by a factor of 10?
Gravity is inversely proportional to the square of the distances between two objects, therefore if the distance was increased by a factor of ten, the gravity would decrease by a factor of one hundred.
Force of attraction that decreases as distance increases?
The force of attraction that decreases as distance increases will change inversely to the square of the distance. This is true for any two objects.
Find the change in the force of gravity between two planets when the distance between them is increased by a factor of five?
When the distance between the centers of two planets decreases to 1/10th of the original distance,the gravitational force between them increases to 100 times the original force.
Does distance between objects effect the gravitational attraction between them?
Yes. At a greater distance, the gravitational attraction between two objects is less.
If two objects become closer together is the gravitational attraction between them decreased?
No, it is increased. If the separation is halved, the attraction is quadrupled.
What is the relationship between a planets distance from the sun and distance between planets?
If two planets are in orbits with radii of R1 and R2, the distance between them varies from R2-R1 to R2+R1.
