Question

Select the correct words to fill in the blanks to this sentence: As a planet draws away from the sun in its orbit, the force between the sun and the planet _________and the planet's speed _________. * 2 points A increases, increases B increases, decreases C decreases, decreases D decreases, increases

Answer 1

As a planet draws away from the sun in its orbit, the force between the sun and the planet DECREASES and the planet's speed DECREASES - C. decreases, decreases

The Sun's gravitational force or the gravitation pull is the force which is exert by the sun on the planets. The sun pulls on the planets which leads to movement of planets perpendicular to this force at all times creating a elliptical path or orbit around the Sun.

• If the planet moves further away in its orbit around the Sun, the gravitational force exerted by the Sun on the planet decreases.

• Planet's acceleration or the speed, that is proportional to $\frac{Msun}{d^2}$, must also decrease if exerted gravitation pull or force decreases, resulting in a lower orbital speed.

Thus, the farther it is from the Sun, the weaker the Sun’s gravitational pull, and the slower it moves in its orbit.
