Concept explainers

Central Force

Central force is the force that acts along the center of mass of one body to the center of mass of another body. Its direction from or away from a point on a body to another is called the center of the force. Such forces include gravitational force between two massive objects or electrostatic forces between two charged particles. So from atoms to planets, the central forces play an important role in shaping our daily lives. One of the remarkable features of central forces is that they are conservative, i.e. the total energy of a central force system can always be expressed as a gradient of a potential energy function.

Consider a system that is comprised of two planets. These two planets orbit each other, both following stable circular orbits about the center of mass. Assume that they are so distant from other bodies in the universe that any forces from other bodies are negligible. Which of the statements below about the system comprising of these two planets are correct? The planets will get increasingly closer to each other due to the attractive gravitational force between them.
