The centripetal force and the centrifugal force in balance. Both these forces are related to Gravitational Energy E=- GmM/r + mcV =-mu/r + mcV. The centripetal forces is mv^2/r and the centrifugal force is Del .mcV = -mcv/r cos(x). The orbit forces are 0= dmcV/dr + DelxmcV - Del mu/r.

What two forces work together to keep the planets in orbit around the sun?
The two forces that work together to keep the planets in orbit around the sun are gravity and inertia.
These forces keep the planets and other heavenly bodies to stay in their orbits?
Gravitatonal pull
What forces keep the Earth moving?
No force makes the Earth move. It has enough momentum to continue moving through space.
Who believed that forces keep moons orbiting planets and planets orbiting the sun?
Newton- he created the law of universal gravitation, which states that all objects in the universe have gravity.
What 2 things keep your planets in an elliptical orbit?
Gravity and velocity (or inertia), and they aren't things. They're forces.
What two forces work together to keep the planets in orbit around the sun?
The two forces that work together to keep the planets in orbit around the sun are gravity and inertia.
How do planets in the solar system keep moving?
An object has a general tendency to keep moving - that's how our Universe works. No force is required to keep an object moving - unless there is another force that slows it down. Here on Earth, there are usually frictional forces that slow objects down, and therefore a force is required to counteract the frictional forces.
What force did Sir Isaac Newton say helped keep the planets moving around the sun?
orbit
What does the suns gravity attract?
There is a pair of mutual gravitational forces between the sun and everything else in the universe. One result of these forces is to keep the planets in orbit around the sun.
What forces does the sun use to keep the planets in orbit?
solar power
What are the 2 forces that keep planets orbiting suns?
gravity and inertia
What natural forces keep water moving?
gravity
When forces are not balanced an object may keep object moving forever true or false?
That's true. Plus ... even if the forces on an object are BALANCED, it can keep moving forever.
What forces keep the comet in orbit around the sun?
A comet stays in orbit by the gravitational pull of other planets/ objects in space but pulled to a planet because of the stronger pull gravity.
How can the planets orbit the sun?
It is the natural tendency for an object in motion to keep moving at the same speed in a straight line. Meanwhile gravity is trying to pull each planet toward the sun. The two forces combine to keep the planets in their elliptical orbits. They have enough forward momentum to keep them from falling into the sun, and they have enough pull from the sun to keep them from following a straight path out of the solar system.
These forces keep the planets and other heavenly bodies to stay in their orbits?
Gravitatonal pull
When forces are not balanced an object keep moving forever?
As long as the forces remain the same or do not change direction
