It doesn't.

Gravity is one thing that can provide centripetal force.

Another one is a string, like the one that keeps the yo-yo spinning in a circle around your head.

Is Gravity is example of a centripetal force?

It can be. A centripetal force is not fundamental (such as gravity), it is the generic name given to a force that keeps objects moving in orbits (or circles). In the case of the Sun and the Earth, gravity is the centripetal force that keeps the Earth in orbit around the Sun.


How is artificial gravity related to centripetal force?

Artificial gravity is created by simulating the effects of gravity through centrifugal force. Centripetal force is the inward force that keeps an object moving in a circular path. In the context of artificial gravity, centripetal force is what creates the sensation of gravity by pushing objects towards the center of rotation.


Does gravity provide a centripetal force on the moon helping it stay in orbit around the earth?

Yes, gravity is the centripetal force that keeps the Moon in its orbit around the Earth. The gravitational force between the Earth and Moon provides the necessary inward force (centripetal force) to balance the outward inertial force and keep the Moon in a stable orbit.

What effects gravity and centripetal combined on the same orbiting path?

I'm not sure exactly what you are asking, but centripetal force is just a name given to any force that causes circular motion. Swing a rock on the end of a string and the string tension is the centripetal force. Drive a car around a flat circular track and the friction between the tires and the road is the centripetal force. Put a satellite in orbit and gravity is the centripetal force.


Is it true that projectiles are always affected by centripetal force?

No, projectiles are not always affected by centripetal force. Centripetal force only comes into play when there is circular motion involved. In the case of projectiles, the force of gravity is the dominant force acting on the object.


What can be a centripetal force Friction tension gravity or all?

A centripetal force is necessary to keep an object moving in a circular path. This force can be provided by friction, tension, or gravity, depending on the situation.


What is the centripetal force holding the moon into Earth?

The force that holds the moon in place is gravity. Without gravity, there wouldn't be a moon.


What provides the centripetal force that keeps objects in orbit?

Centripetal force wants to move something towards the centre. So in a satellites case that would be the Gravity of the Earth. If you had a rock tied to a string you were spinning around, the Centripetal Force would be the tension in the string acting towards the centre.


What happens to the size of the centripetal force due to gravity acting on the satellite if the satellite moves farther from earth?

The centripetal force due to gravity decreases as the satellite moves farther from Earth because the force of gravity weakens with distance. This is in accordance with the inverse square law, which states that the force of gravity decreases with the square of the distance between two objects.

What provide the force that produce centripital acceleration in orbit?

The gravitation of the central body. For example, for the Moon moving around the Earth, the centripetal force is the gravity between Earth and Moon.
