Question is very simple that if orbital motion obeys ideal law's then there must be a ideal force that runs this systen...Can you identifid the force?...waiting your ideas
Huh? Do you really not know what "force" controls orbital motion?Kaka said:Question is very simple that if orbital motion obeys ideal law's then there must be a ideal force that runs this systen...Can you identifid the force?...waiting your ideas
Small additional forces cause small changes in the orbit, for major changes, you need large influences. So for example to cause the Earth to leave the Solar system, you would have to apply enough force for a long enough time to increase its orbital velocity by some 12 km/sec. To cause it to fall into the Sun, you would have to decrease its velocity by nearly 27 km/sec. Since the forces presently acting on the Earth are small and many times acting counter to each other, there is not much chance of them causing any major disruptions to the Earth's orbit over the foreseeable future.hilbert2 said:A more relevant question is whether the orbits are stable, i.e. can't be completely messed up by small additional forces (forces between planets, relativistic effects...).
