Can I have privs to post images?

I did the calculus many times

@Citizen Z

F=ma but F is proportionnal to m so you can simplifie

if you only know the initial velocity and position....it would go in straight line

the only way it can "orbit" the sun is by.........

want to guess?

I’d like to show you the heliocentric model and planets revolving around the sun

anyone?

Why would it go into straight line

But I can’t post images

why would it orbit?

Gravity

ah ha!!!

@Flat Earth PhD where do you work being a flat Earther with a PhD in chem?

and how do you calculate the gravitational force needed to keep it in orbit?

you need to know what?

You dont even need to calculate the force

Jus the field of accelerations

of course you do. if you want to predict an orbit

And there you go

Non you dont

cool. show me

show me the math

🍿

What do you want me to do

maybe...stop trolling? 🙂

for starters

You just proved you dont understand gravity

that's why I want you to teach me

are you claiming to understand gravity?

You can think of gravity just to be an acceleration field

if so....there's a Nobel prize waiting for him

great. show me the math

and do not use the mass of the planet in any calculations

because....it's not necessary

right?

ever play tether ball?

that's a hint 😉

i can’t post pictures

Did you take any physics courses in your chemistry major?
