What would most likely happen to the motion of the planets without the force of gravity from the Sun? The planets would continue to move in large ellipses.

The planets would drift away from the Sun into outer space.

The planets would slow down, eventually stopping all motion.

The planets would gradually make smaller and smaller ellipses.

the planets would drift away from the sun into outer space

Explanation:

All celestial objects are attracted to each Other by gravity

The planets would drift away from the Sun into outer space.

Explanation:

quartz

explanation:

first let us lay out the formula for potential

and kinetic energy:

pe = mgh

ke = (mv^2)/2

where: m=mass, v=velocity, g=gravitational

acceleration, h=height

calculating for mass using the known values of

pe:

340j = m (9.81 m/s^2) (50ft) (1m/3.28ft)

m = 2.27 kg

the law of conservation of energy states that

energy is neither created nor destroyed. therefore, the change in kinetic

energy from 50 ft to 35 ft would be equal to the change in potential energy

from 50 ft to 35 ft. however it would be opposite in signs since one is losing

while other is gaining.

ke(35ft) – ke(50ft) = - [ pe(35ft) – pe(50ft]

ke(50ft) = 0 since the brick is initially at rest

ke(35ft) = 340j - 2.27kg (9.81 m/s^2) (35ft)

(1m/3.28 ft)

ke(35ft)

= 102.38 j
