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.
What is the force that causes the earth to orbit the sun?
GRAVITY!A2. Centripetal force. The velocity of the satellite around the earth causes centripetal, force which balances with the gravity, holding it in a circular orbit around the earth.
Is torque produce in satellite due to gravity?
A satellite small enough to be treated as a point particle. Can earth's gravity exert a torque on a satellite about the earth's center? Torque causes an object to rotate around a specific point. Torque = force * perpendicular distance and Torque = moment of Inertia * angular acceleration. When a satellite is launched, it is forced up to a specific distance from the earth's center and accelerated to a specific velocity parallel to the surface of the earth. The satellite continues moving in circular orbit. The force which causes the satellite to move in a circular path is the gravitational force caused by the mass of the earth, mass of the satellite, and distance from the center of mass of the earth to the center of mass of the satellite. This force causes the direction of the velocity to rotate so it is always tangent to the circle. This force produces the torque which makes causes the satellite to rotate so the direction of its velocity is always perpendicular to the direction of the gravitational force.
What unbalanced force did newton conclude makes the moon circle earth?
Newton concluded that gravity is the unbalanced force that causes the Moon to orbit the Earth. He demonstrated that the gravitational attraction between the Earth and the Moon provides the necessary centripetal force to keep the Moon in its circular path. This interaction explains not only the Moon's orbit but also the orbits of other celestial bodies.
What force allows satellites to orbit the earth?
Gravity is the force that allows satellites to orbit the Earth. The gravitational pull between the Earth and the satellite causes the satellite to continuously fall towards the Earth while moving forward at a speed that keeps it in 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 type of force that causes a satellite to orbit Earth is a?
Its a centripetal force, whose origin/source is gravitation.
What effects gravity and centripetal combined on the same orbiting path?
I'm not sure exactly what you are asking, but centripetal force is just a name given to any force that causes circular motion. Swing a rock on the end of a string and the string tension is the centripetal force. Drive a car around a flat circular track and the friction between the tires and the road is the centripetal force. Put a satellite in orbit and gravity is the centripetal force.
What provides the forces that causes the centripetal acceleration of a satellite in orbit?
When something is moving in circular motion there are two forces that concern the object, excluding forces affecting the motion of the object going around the circle as these would not make the acceleration constant, the force that pushes it inwards towards the centre of circle and the force that pushes it outwards towards the circle, the gravitational field from the mass at the centre of the orbit will provide the inward force, pulling the object inwards towards the centre, and the weight of the satellite will push it outwards towards the edge of the circle Correction- there is only one force- gravity- acting on a satellite in orbit. If it weren't for gravity, the satellite would fly off in a straight line. There is no outward pushing force.
The unbalenced force that causes an object to move in a circular path is called a?
centripetal force
What is the force that causes the earth to orbit the sun?
GRAVITY!A2. Centripetal force. The velocity of the satellite around the earth causes centripetal, force which balances with the gravity, holding it in a circular orbit around the earth.
What causes objects to move in a circle?
is called the centripetal force
Centripetal force can it produce rotation?
A centripetal force is, by definition, a force that makes a body follow a curved path. So, yes, a centripetal force causes rotation about a point in space.
The centripetal force that causes circular motion always acts?
Towards the centre of the circle. Centripetal actually means "centre finding".
What do you call a force that causes an object to move in a circle?
centripetal force
What is the name of the type of force that causes circular motion?
centripetal force
What force causes Earth's centripetal motion?
The force that causes Earth's centripetal motion is gravity. Gravity pulls Earth towards the Sun, causing it to orbit in a circular path around the Sun. This centripetal force keeps Earth moving in a curved path rather than in a straight line.
