Solar Motion
2010
Are the planets in our solar system exhibiting perpetual motion or is it caused by the Sun’s gravity?
And if it is a form of perpetual motion, would a device exhibit perpetual motion if it were in space rather than on Earth which has more gravity and air friction?
For example, could you put a large wheel in space and initially spin it with rocket engines, have it create artificial gravity, and then because of Newton’s law of motion “A body at rest remains at rest and a body remains in motion, unless acted on by another force” cause it to spin infinitely in a type of perpetual motion?
I suppose, it would have to be placed in a certain orbit where there would be little interference by gravitational pulls from either the other planets or by the large Sun.
Here is something similar to what I was asking about.

An interesting question.
Same as satellites in orbit around the Earth, and the moon. That does sound like perpetual motion, but actually it is like falling toward the gravity pull, but the forward speed of the object keeps it from ever getting nearer to the sun or the Earth that it would otherwise fall into.

Sunday at the Village Vanguard $4.75 This live recording by the Bill Evans Trio at the Village Vanguard on June 25, 1961, marked the end of one of the most sublime instrumental combinations in jazz history when bassist Scott LaFaro died in a car accident 10 days later. This unit is underdocumented because Evans, a notorious perfectionist, was reluctant to record. The interchange between Evans on piano, LaFaro on bass and Paul Motian … |

The Next Best Thing: Music From The Motion Picture $11.82 The obvious centerpiece to this soundtrack is Madonna’s hyperkinetic version of Don McLean’s 1971 postmortem rock anthem “American Pie.” Capturing the bittersweet intentions of the original, Madonna and producer William Orbit create a forlorn dreamscape of dance beats and floating electronica effects that serve to update the sentimental war horse. The entire soundtrack has a futuristic sheen. Th… |
