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 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.
Yes, although space is a vacuum, with no air or other medium for the force to act upon, the concept of centripetal force still applies in space. Objects in orbit experience centripetal force that keeps them moving in a curved path around a central body, such as a planet orbiting a star.
Yes, gravity is the centripetal force that keeps the Moon in its orbit around the Earth. The gravitational force between the Earth and Moon provides the necessary inward force (centripetal force) to balance the outward inertial force and keep the Moon in a stable orbit.
A ball on a string is an example of centripetal acceleration
Gravity is what keeps objects in orbit around a planet from flying off into space. The gravitational pull between the planet and the objects creates a centripetal force that balances the outward motion, keeping them in a stable orbit.
The Centripetal force
true
It can be. A centripetal force is not fundamental (such as gravity), it is the generic name given to a force that keeps objects moving in orbits (or circles). In the case of the Sun and the Earth, gravity is the centripetal force that keeps the Earth in orbit around the Sun.
i think its the centripetal force [force of attraction]
true
true
The centripetal force that keeps an object moving in a circular path is provided by the inward force acting towards the center of the circle.
Actually, the force that keeps objects moving in a circle is called centripetal force. It acts towards the center of the circle and is necessary to counteract the outward centrifugal force that would otherwise cause the object to move in a straight line.
centripetal or centrifugal force...... most likely the first
An example of centripetal force is when a car goes around a curve with a constant speed. The friction between the tires and the road provides the centripetal force that keeps the car moving in a curved path.
Centripetal refers to a center-seeking force or direction, often used to describe the force that keeps an object moving in a circular path. It is the force that keeps objects moving inward toward the center of rotation.
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.
