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

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.

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 due to gravity decreases as the satellite moves farther from Earth because the force of gravity weakens with distance. This is in accordance with the inverse square law, which states that the force of gravity decreases with the square of the distance between two objects.


How can a rocket move through outer space where no matter exists for it to push on?

The conservation of momentum is such that, when a rocket throws fuel and gas out of its thrusters, in order to maintain equilibrium, the rocket moves forwards to counter the motion backwards of the propellant.


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 is Gravitational force between earth and moon if the moon moves twice the distance away from earth?

The mutual force of gravitation between two masses is inversely proportional to the squareof the distance between their centers.So, when the distance between any two masses doubles, the gravitational force between themdecreases by a factor of 4 . . . it drops to 25%of its original value.

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

No, according to Newton's first law of motion, an object will continue to move in a straight line at a constant speed unless acted upon by an external force. In the absence of a force, an object will not be able to move in a curved path.


What are inertial frames?

Inertial frames are reference frames in which a free object either remains at rest or moves at a constant velocity unless acted upon by an external force. They are characterized by the absence of any acceleration in the absence of external forces. According to Newton's first law of motion, an inertial frame is one where an object not subject to external forces moves at a constant velocity in a straight line.


What is an example of dynamic?

An external force that moves or changes


What is a force that moves an object?

A force that moves an object is called a motive force or driving force. This force can come from various sources such as gravity, friction, or external energy inputs like pushing or pulling. The magnitude and direction of the force determine the speed and direction of the object's motion.


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.


A ball rolled across a horizontal table moves at constant velocity.why?

The ball moves at a constant velocity because there are no external forces acting on it to change its speed or direction. The absence of any net force means there is no acceleration, allowing the ball to maintain a steady velocity. This state of motion is in accordance with Newton's First Law of Motion.


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.


Action and reaction are always equal and opposite.Then how does a body move?

A body moves when there is an external force acting upon it. The action-reaction forces cancel each other out, but external forces can cause a net force resulting in acceleration and movement.


What are the two external forces?

The two external forces are friction and air resistance. Friction is the force opposing motion when two surfaces are in contact, while air resistance is the force acting in the opposite direction to an object's motion as it moves through the air.


What is the force that moves somthing forward?

The force that moves something forward is typically the result of pushing or pulling on an object. This force can be generated by a variety of sources, such as muscles in the body, engines in vehicles, or external forces like wind or water currents. The force applied causes the object to accelerate in the direction it is being pushed or pulled.


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.
