What force keeps the moon in orbit around the sun?
The force of gravity that they exert on each other, and the velocities of the Moon and Earth which is their "inertia".
How does thE centrifugal force is related to centripetal force?
Centrifugal force does not exist, it is only the objects' inertia trying to keep the object moving in a strait path.
What will happen if you keep stone on stone?
centrifugal force
What keeps the natural satellite to stay in his position?
The revolutionary movement of the natural satellite such as moon around the earth makes it stable in its orbit. This is similar to the stay of earth around the sun. Scientifically speaking the gravitational force of attraction between the earth and moon becomes the necessary centripetal force to keep it stay in its orbit. This centripetal force will be along the line joining the moon and the earth. This centripetal will be balanced by the centrifugal which acts away from the earth. This centrifugal force comes into the scene due to the inertia of direction.
Inward and outward forces when a satellite is orbiting Earth?
GRAVITY!!!!
What is the type of force that keep objects moving in a circle or arc?
centripetal or centrifugal force...... most likely the first
Where does force needed to keep planets orbiting the sun come from?
The force is provided by the Sun's gravitational attraction.
The inward force needed to keep an object moving in a circle?
The force that keeps objects moving in a circle is known as the centripetal force, which acts towards the center. The velocity of the object moving in a circle will be tangential to the circle.
What happens to an object that is moving in a circle if the centripetal force is removed?
The centripetal force is what draws the object towards the centre. The centrifugal force is what draws the object away from the centre. Generally when one speaks of centrifugal force, one means only that it takes the centripetal force to keep moving the object out of its straight direction of travel. If you remove the centripetal force in such an example, such as when the object is in a circular orbit around another body, then the result will be that the orbiting body will continue traveling in a straight line at a tangent to the circular path it had been following.
Why is centrifugal force called a pseudo force?
This is because it is not a force. It is a reflection of newtons 1st law, any object will continue along it path in a straight line unless another force acts on it. So when an object is constrained to rotate around a point, a circular path, it at all times will try to 'fly off' on along a tangent (a straight line from where it is now). This is what is called centrifugal forces. The only real force that acts is centripetal force, which is the force required to keep the object on circular path. This force acts directly towards the centre of the circle about which the object rotates. That is to say to keep the body in the place , where it is, and to balance the centripetal force, centrifugal force comes into play. it has no cause of existence without centripetal force,hence it is called pseudo force. Alternate answer: Centrifugal force is not a pseudo force. It is called a pseudo force because some neglect the vector derivative. Centrifugal force comes from the vector derivative of the vector energy Ev= mcV. The centrifugal force is f = - mcDel.V. The minus sign indicates motion away from the center, center fleeing , centrifugal.
What are two forces that keep the planets revolving around the sun?
The force of gravity pulls the planet towards the Sun and this is balanced by the planet's "centrifugal force" away from the Sun. (Centrifugal force is called a "fictitious force" in physics. It's a mathematical way of representing the planet's tendency to move in a straight line path. Some people prefer to talk about the planet's "inertia" rather than centrifugal force.)
What forces keep the planet in its orbit?
They are the gravitational pull of the Sun and the "centrifugal force". In fact centrifugal force is not a "real" force. The effect is really caused by the inertia of the planet. That's its tendency to move in a straight line unless acted on by a force. The planet is acted on by the force of gravity. The result is that the planet follows a curved path - its orbit.
