Question:
In our derivation of Kepler???s laws, we assumed the only force on a planet is due to the Sun. In a real solar system, however, the gravitational forces from the other planets can sometimes be important. Calculate the gravitational force of Jupiter on the Earth and compare it to the magnitude of the force from the Sun. Do the calculations for the cases when Jupiter is both closest to and farthest from the Earth (Fig. P5.54).

In Physics, a force is an influence that can change the motion of an object. A force can cause an object with mass to change its velocity, i.e., to accelerate. Force can also be described intuitively as a push or a pull. A force has both magnitude and direction, making it a vector quantity. In this video, the concept of force and torque is demonstrated with the practical application of changing the flat tire of the car.
