The earth's gravitational attraction is the centripetal force mGMe/r^2= mv^/r;

mGMe/r^2=mrw^2 gives GMe/r^3 = w^2= (2pi /T)^2.

Why does a body becomes weightless in an artificial satellite?

for the circular motion of a satellite a centripetal force is requid. these force is supplied by the gravitional force between the earth and satellite this is trueall objects in the satellite is zero ie, the object in a satellite feel weightlessness


How would the motion of the moon change with no centripital force?

the moon rotates around the earth. The force keeping it in orbit around the earth aka the centripital force is caused by the gravitational force between the moon and the earth. If the gravitational force and thus the centripital force dissapeared, the moon would fly off tangent to its circular orbit


How does the centripetal force act on a satellite?

The centripetal force acts towards the center of the circular path followed by the satellite, allowing it to maintain its orbit. In the case of a satellite orbiting Earth, the force of gravity provides the centripetal force required to keep the satellite in its orbit.


Why the moon does not escape from the earth?

They orbit around their common centre of gravity, the orbital radius and velocity of both (centripital force) is exactly enough to overcome the force of gravity between them.


What provides the force that causes the centripetal acceleratoin of the satellite in orbit?

The force that provides the centripetal acceleration for a satellite in orbit is the gravitational force between the satellite and the celestial body it is orbiting, such as Earth. This gravitational force acts as the centripetal force that keeps the satellite in its circular path around the celestial body.

Does satellite has acceleration due to gravity or not?

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


What causes stability of satellite in space?

the gravitational force of earth keeps the satellite(better write artificial satellite)in orbit.

Why dont people fall out of rollercosters?

if you mean when they do a loop-de-loop-centripital force (centrifical force dosent exist)keeps them in their seets


How do you find the centripital force?

Centripetal force is found using the equation F=mv2/r m=mass v=velocity r=radius

What is the force that keeps a satellite in motion?

The force that keeps a satellite in motion is the gravitational force of the planet it is orbiting. This force acts as a centripetal force, pulling the satellite towards the planet and keeping it in its orbit.


Which force attaracts satellite towards the earth?

The force of gravity, between Earth and the satellite.

What direction of the gravitational force and centripetal force on a satellite?

The gravitational force on a satellite is towards the center of the Earth. The gravitational force IS the centripetal force is this case, so the centripetal force pulls the satellite towards the center of the Earth. There is no balancing force that pulls the satellite outwards (if there were, it wouldn't accelerate, i.e., change direction).


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.


Why the moon does not escape from the earth?

They orbit around their common centre of gravity, the orbital radius and velocity of both (centripital force) is exactly enough to overcome the force of gravity between them.
