What happen to motions of planets in our solar system if somehow the force of gravity was turned off suddenly?


Question:


Answer:
Newton's equations say without a force objects in motion stay in motions, objects at rest stay at rest. Which means if you turned gravity off, the planets would fly away in a straight line, at a tangent to the point in their orbits that the were at the exact moment gravity was turned off.
The earth is flat, no one knows what gravity is or how the stars are suspended.
They'd fly off into space in a straight line at a constant speed, forever.
the planets wud fly off, but we on the earth wud also fly off man!!
