Does the Earth’s atmosphere bend as it moves around the Sun?
<p>Such questions are regularly posed to us, and all of them are based on the same misconception: for a body to move, a continuous force must act upon it, and the more significant this force, the higher the speed of the body’s movement, and as soon as this force disappears, the body immediately stops. It is this force that provokes the body’s deformation during movement.</p>
<p>This view of motion was characteristic of ancient philosophers, who, however, did not know the concept of force and was rejected at the very beginning of the development of modern physics, as clearly seen from Galileo’s principle of inertia. In fact, a force is not needed for a body to move: it will move at a constant speed precisely if no external forces act on it or if they are balanced against each other. Thus, a high movement speed does not mean a significant force acts on the body. Whether a force acts on a body can only be determined by the presence of acceleration.</p>
