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.

Does satellite has acceleration due to gravity or not?

yes, this ADG helps the satellite to orbit earth. This is the centripital force


What is the production of acceleration?

In very general terms, the application of a force will produce an acceleration.


What happens to the acceleration as you increase the mass?

As per Newton's first law of motion, if the applied force remains the same, an increase in mass will result in a decrease in acceleration. In contrast, if the acceleration were to remain the same when the mass increases, there must be a greater force applied.


What will the mass and acceleration produce if the applied force is constant?

If the applied force is constant, the acceleration will also be constant. To know the actual amount of acceleration, you divide the force by the mass.


A force that acts on an object does only when the object moves?

A force will produce acceleration when the object moves. force in the line of motion will increase the acceleration and the force opposite to the line of motion will decrease the acceleration.


Any acceleration implies the presence of what?

A mass to be accelerated and a force to provide the acceleration.


What is centripital?

acceleration in a circular motion :)


Can a torque be balanced by a single force?

The effect of a torque is to produce angular acceleration and that of the force is to produce linear acceleration. Since the effects of both torque and force are entirely different, therefore, a torque cannot be balanced by a single force.


What is acceleration force?

In physics there is no such thing as an "acceleration force". A force however will produce an acceleration, according to Newton's Second Law: F=ma, or force = mass x acceleration. Solving for acceleration: acceleration = force / mass


A force is used to produce an acceleration on mass?

Yes. F = ma.


How is force related acceleration?

Force is directly proportional to acceleration, meaning that the greater the force applied to an object, the greater its acceleration will be. This is described by Newton's second law: F = ma, where F is the force applied to an object, m is the mass of the object, and a is the acceleration of the object.


What will an object act upon by a net force do?

We have an important law in physics called: NET force = m * a m = mass a = acceleration A net force will produce an acceleration on an object, and that acceleration will change the object's velocity.
