Question:
Suppose that the gravitational force of attraction depended not on 1/r2 but was proportional to the distance between the two masses, like the force of a spring. In a planetary system like the solar system, what would then be the relation between the period of a planet and its orbit radius, assuming all orbits were circular?

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.
