∙ 12y agoThe mutual forces of gravitation between the Earth and the Moon provide the
centripetal force that maintains the orbit. This is true of every pair of orbiting
bodies in the solar system.
On a smaller scale, electrically charged bodies can also maintain orbit, on account of
the mutual electrostatic forces between them.

That's the mechanism responsible for all orbital motion, anywhere you look.

How would the motion of the moon change if there were no centripedial force acting on it?
it would stay in place because the earth is its centripetal force and if it doesnt have the earth it wouldn't orbit
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.
The centripetal force that makes the Moon travel in a circle around the Earth instead of continuing in a straight line is?
As the moon orbits the Earth, the force of gravity acting upon the moon provides the centripetal force required for circular motion.
The motion of a body when only force of gravity is acting on the body?
zero velocity =)
The rising and setting of the sun is an example of noncyclic predictable changes random motion?
i have the same question and im putting predictable changes
Does the centripetal force acting on an object in uniform circular motion do work on the object?
No
What is the origin of centripetal force?
Centripetal force is the resultant force acting towards the centre of orbit of an object undergoing uniform circular motion.
What is the formula to find centripetal force?
Centripetal force is always directed towards the center of the circle of motion that an object is traveling in.
What keeps an object in centripetal motion?
The centripetal force
Which physical quantity changes continuously during uniform circular motion?
direction
How does the centripetal force cause an object to change in motion?
Any net force will change an object's velocity. In the case of a centripetal force, it changes the direction of the movement, and therefore its velocity.
How would the motion of the moon change if there you no centripetal force acting on it?
At the instant the centripetal force disappeared, the moon would take off in a straight line into space, and would never be seen or heard from again.
How do you produse a change in motion?
Motion requires a force acting upon an object. When the object changes so does motion.
When an objects motion changes you know that the forces acting on it are?
Not balanced. The net force acting on the object is not zero.
How do balanced forces acting on an object affect its motion. How do unbalanced forces acting on an object affect its motion?
Balanced forces do not change its motion (no acceleration). Unbalanced forces changes the motion of the object (acceleration).
What happens to the direction of motion of the ball what changes it direction of motion?
A force acting on the ball, at an angle to its line of motion, will cause its direction of motion to change.
What does centripetal motion mean?
Centripetal motion refers to the inward force that keeps an object moving in a curved path. This force is always directed toward the center of the circular path. It is responsible for keeping objects like planets in their orbits around the sun.
