Why are the Lagrangian points L1, L2 & L3 unstable? I am doing a physics presentation in front of my class and I am just confirming this is correct, and if it isn't, could somebody provide an explanation.
F=mv2/r and v=2π/T
Therefore:
F=4π2mr/T2
F∝1/T2 while r is constant.
So if r stops being in the same point as the Lagrange point, then the period of orbit will change and the system will fall out of place.
