In the solar system, there are many small pieces of rocks (i.e., asteroids) floating around that we can actually detect and whose orbits we can track. We’ll learn more about these later, but for now let’s take a look at the orbits of the asteroids. You’ll want to keep 3-4 significant digits throughout this problem and report all periods in years. (a) Imagine here is a gap in semi-major axis near a hypothetical 2.502 AU. What would the orbital period be of asteroids at this location? (b) The explanation for the missing asteroids has to do with gravitational interactions from the massive planet Jupiter located at 5.204 AU. Calculate is the orbital period of Jupiter in years?

Gravitational force

In nature, every object is attracted by every other object. This phenomenon is called gravity. The force associated with gravity is called gravitational force. The gravitational force is the weakest force that exists in nature. The gravitational force is always attractive.

Acceleration Due to Gravity

In fundamental physics, gravity or gravitational force is the universal attractive force acting between all the matters that exist or exhibit. It is the weakest known force. Therefore no internal changes in an object occurs due to this force. On the other hand, it has control over the trajectories of bodies in the solar system and in the universe due to its vast scope and universal action. The free fall of objects on Earth and the motions of celestial bodies, according to Newton, are both determined by the same force. It was Newton who put forward that the moon is held by a strong attractive force exerted by the Earth which makes it revolve in a straight line. He was sure that this force is similar to the downward force which Earth exerts on all the objects on it.
