What provides the centripetal force needed to keep Earth in orbit?

The gravitational force between Earth and the Sun provides the centripetal force needed to keep Earth in orbit. This force keeps Earth moving in a circular path around the Sun.

How do you Determine the mass of the earth from the known period and distance of the moon?

One way to determine the mass of the Earth is to use Newton's law of gravitation and the known period and distance of the Moon. By knowing the orbital period of the Moon around the Earth and its distance from Earth, one can calculate the gravitational force between Earth and the Moon. By equating this gravitational force to the centripetal force needed to keep the Moon in its orbit, one can solve for the mass of the Earth.


What would happen if Earth orbited the sun at the speed of light?

The centripetal force holding the earth on its axis will be so great that the gravity keeping the earth and the sun at the same distance will not be enough to keep the Earth close to the sun. We would essentially fly off into the nothingness of space and die.

How does gravity work to keep objects on Earth's surface?

Gravity is a force that pulls objects towards the center of the Earth. This force keeps objects on the Earth's surface by attracting them towards the ground.

How does distance change when the amount of effort force is increased while the amount of work done remains the same?

Work is the product of (force) x (distance).If, as you allege, the force increased but the work didn't change, thenthe distance must have decreased, by exactly the same factor as theincrease in the force, so that their product is not changed.
