13.Earth and Jupiter both orbit the sun in orbits that are approximately constant speed circular motion (about the sun – with Jupiter of course further from the sun and with a much greater mass than Earth).  Taking the orbits to be exactly circular, for which planet is the magnitude of its acceleration the greatest? a)earth B)Jupiter C)Actually, the magnitude of the acceleration for both is zero due to the orbits being constant speed orbits.
