The gravitational force exerted by the Sun on the Earth holds the Earth in an orbit around the Sun. Let us assume that the orbit is perfectly circular. The work done by this gravitational force during a short time interval in which the Earth moves through a displacement in its orbital path is (a) zero (b) positive (c) negative (d) impossible to determine​

Respuesta :

The work done by this gravitational force during a fast time interval in which the Earth drives through a displacement in its orbital path is (a) zero.

What is the unit of gravitational force?

Gravitational Force

The kilogram force (kgf) is a gravitational unit of force. The force exercised by the earth on a body of mass 1 kg is regarded as 1 kgf. Force = Mass × Acceleration. 1 kgf = 9.8 N.

The gravitation force and perpendicular to the path of movement

hence angle between gravitational force [ F ]and displacement (d)=90°

work done (W)= F d cos 90°

           = 0
