Sir Issac Newton
Yes - the same gravity that makes the apple fall from the tree - keeps the earth in orbit around the sun.
It was Isaac Newton who figured out that the force of gravity keeps planets in orbit around the sun.
An object keeps moving once an applied force causes it to start moving because of inertia, which is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its motion.
Gravity is the force that keeps planets and moons in orbit. The gravitational pull between the planet or moon and the object they are orbiting around, typically a star like the sun, is what keeps them moving in a stable path. This balance between the gravitational force and the object's inertia causes them to continuously orbit in a closed path.
It's true its called gravitytrue
The same gravitational force that keeps you from floating into space.
The force that keeps planets in orbit is gravity. Gravity is the attractive force that exists between two masses, such as a planet and a star, that causes them to be drawn towards each other. In the case of planets orbiting a star, gravity keeps the planets in their elliptical paths around the star.
The centripetal force is what causes a ball to accelerate around a pole. It is directed towards the center of the circular path and keeps the ball moving in a curved trajectory.
Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its motion. It is the force that keeps an object at rest or in motion at a constant velocity unless acted upon by an external force.
an apple a day keeps pimples away. it is one of the biggest cures for pimples. but two a day is even better
It can be. A centripetal force is not fundamental (such as gravity), it is the generic name given to a force that keeps objects moving in orbits (or circles). In the case of the Sun and the Earth, gravity is the centripetal force that keeps the Earth in orbit around the Sun.
The unbalanced force that causes an object to move in a circular path is called centripetal force. This force acts towards the center of the circle and keeps the object moving in its curved path instead of moving in a straight line.
