What holds all the planets in order?

Gravitational force is what holds all the planets in their orbits around the sun. This force is determined by the mass of the objects and the distance between them. The gravitational pull of the sun keeps the planets in their respective orbits.


What are the gas giants from least to the most gravitational force?

In the solar system there are two gas giants, Saturn and Jupiter (listed in order of mass).


Why do heavy objects have greater forces when being dropped?

The formula for forces reads "F=m*a" The acceleration is constant at 9.8 meters/second on earth. Therefore, in order for the equation to balance, if the mass is increased, the force also increases proportional to the mass.


What is the order of gravitational forces of the planets in your solar system?

The order of gravitational forces of the planets in the solar system is generally from highest to lowest: Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, Uranus, Earth, Venus, Mars, Mercury. This order is based on the mass of the planets and their distance from the sun.


What is the mass recessional order?

The mass recessional order refers to the sequence in which celestial objects, such as galaxies, move away from an observer due to the expansion of the universe, with more massive objects typically receding at different rates compared to less massive ones. This phenomenon is primarily a result of the gravitational effects and the overall dynamics of cosmic expansion. In general, more massive galaxies may have stronger gravitational pulls, which can influence their motion in relation to surrounding structures. Understanding this order is essential for cosmology and helps in studying the large-scale structure of the universe.

What must you know in order to determane the gravitational force between 2 objects?

You need to know . . . -- the mass of each object -- the distance between their centers of mass -- the value of the universal gravitational constant


Do 2 things have to touch in order to have force between them?

No, two objects do not necessarily have to touch in order for a force to act between them. Forces such as gravitational, magnetic, and electric forces can act over a distance without requiring physical contact between the objects.

Why gravitational force is considered as non-contact force?

The Earth does not need to touch you in order to attract you to it. If you do nothing but simply let go of the airplane you're riding in, that's quite enough. Gravity can do its job and easily bring you to the Earth, without any contact. Quite unlike fly-paper.


Rank the pairs of masses in order of increasing magnitude of gravitational force betweenthe masses?

The gravitational force between two masses is directly proportional to the product of the masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. So, to rank the pairs of masses in increasing magnitude of gravitational force, compare the products of masses for each pair. The pair with the smallest product of masses will have the weakest gravitational force, while the pair with the largest product of masses will have the strongest gravitational force.


Is it possible that Gravity Comes from the Atom?

It's certainly true that there is a mutual gravitational force between atoms. However, there are also mutual gravitational forces between and among electrons, protons, neutrons, neutrinos, and particles in a plasma, none of which are atoms. So it looks like there don't have to be any atoms around in order to have gravitational force.


Where shows the correct order of forces from weakest to strongest?

The correct order of forces from weakest to strongest is gravitational force, electromagnetic force, weak nuclear force, and strong nuclear force. Gravitational force is the weakest force, while the strong nuclear force is the strongest.


Why is magnetic force a non contact force?

Because it's not necessary for objects to be in contact (touching) in order to feel the magnetic force between them.


What Charged objects do not have to what to exert a force on each other?

Charged objects do not have to physically touch each other in order to exert a force on each other. The force between charged objects can be exerted through electromagnetic fields that extend through space. This force is known as the electrostatic force.


Which force pulls objects towards earth?

The force that pulls everything towards the earth is called Gravity,but you only have half of the story.Gravity is responsible for the two forces that pull an object and the earthtowards each other.


The force due to gravity is stronger if two objects are closer?

The relationship between the gravitational attraction between two objects and their distance from each other would be the farther apart they are the less attracted they are. The closer they are the stronger the attraction.


Gravity is a universal force because it acts?

Newton's law of gravitation. It states that gravitational force is directly proportional to product of the masses and inversly proportional to square root of distance between them. Gravitational force has the greatest large-scale impact on the universe. It act upon all energy,matter etc. This force between two bodies is an action and reaction pair. This force is very small in the case of massive bodies and it is appreciable in the case of massive bodies. Gravitational force between the Sun and Earth is of the order of 10 to the power 27 N.
