Question

question 11
while earth orbits the sun,
approximately what angle is between
the gravity force and velocity
vectors?
answer:

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the nature of Earth's orbit

Earth's orbit around the Sun is approximately circular. In a circular orbit, the gravitational force acts as the centripetal force.

Step2: Recall the relationship between centripetal force and velocity in circular motion

In circular motion, the centripetal force (here, gravitational force) is perpendicular to the velocity vector at every point.

Answer:

\(90^{\circ}\)
