Why heavenly body become round shaped for the result of centripetal force and centrifugal force?
Bivas
Spherical shape has minimum gravitational potential energy and everything in nature aspires for least potential energy i,e maximum stability.So all heavenly bodies are spherical in shape.

What happens to an object that is moving in a circle if the centripetal force is removed?
The centripetal force is what draws the object towards the centre. The centrifugal force is what draws the object away from the centre. Generally when one speaks of centrifugal force, one means only that it takes the centripetal force to keep moving the object out of its straight direction of travel. If you remove the centripetal force in such an example, such as when the object is in a circular orbit around another body, then the result will be that the orbiting body will continue traveling in a straight line at a tangent to the circular path it had been following.
When the forward inertia of a projectile balances the downward pull of gravity the object is?
Your question isn't exactly stated correctly, but the result that I believe you are looking for is that, the object will be in Orbit around the Earth. This happens when the Centrifugal Force (outward from the rotation) balances out against the Pull of Gravity (Inward). For a body rotating about the Earth, the inward Force would be the Force of Gravity, which would account for the Centripetal Force. Gravity is 'taking the place of' the piece of string that holds an object in place when it is swung around in a circle.
Explain what keeps the moon orbiting Earth?
Because the moon moves with a certain speed in its orbit, that orbital motion produces a centrifugal force which opposes the attraction of gravity. The balance between gravity and centrifugal force keeps the moon in orbit. The moon continues to orbit at the speed it does, because of its inertia. Moving in the vacuum of space, the moon does not encounter resistance to its motion. There is, however, some energy lost as a result of tidal forces, and that will, over a very long period of time, eventually alter the moon's orbit.
What happens if you dont do a backwash in a pool?
The filter media will eventually become "clogged" and result in reduced flow rate and increased backpressure. the lower flow rate is a hazard to the heater system and the increased pressure will eventually shorten the life of your pump. not to mention the water will become cloudy and unsafe
How does a characteristic that contributes to few or no offspring not become more common as a result of evolution by natural selection?
The question answers itself: the characteristic is passed onto few or no offspring, and therefore will not spread throughout the population.
What happens to an object that is moving in a circle if the centripetal force is removed?
The centripetal force is what draws the object towards the centre. The centrifugal force is what draws the object away from the centre. Generally when one speaks of centrifugal force, one means only that it takes the centripetal force to keep moving the object out of its straight direction of travel. If you remove the centripetal force in such an example, such as when the object is in a circular orbit around another body, then the result will be that the orbiting body will continue traveling in a straight line at a tangent to the circular path it had been following.
What is the acceleration toward the center of a curved or circular path is called what acceleration?
That's called 'centripetal acceleration'. It's the result of the centripetal forceacting on the object on the curved path.
The consequence of spinning on axis?
As a result of the spinning, somebody on the spinning object will perceive centrifugal forces. These forces are fictitious, or apparent, in that to an outside observer, they are the result of inertia.
What is the similarities of centrifugal and centripetal force?
Centripetal Force is more directed towards the center of the axis of rotation of an object following an elliptical or circular path. Centrifugal Force is the force that pulls away from the center because of the objects inertia. Example: If you took a rock, tied it to a string, and swung it around, the force from the center of the axis of rotation is centripetal force. The force that causes the rock to pull away from the center, is centrifugal force. If you have ever been in a fast moving car that sharply turns and you feel as if you are pulled to the side, that too is centrifugal force caused by your inertia. The more mass the more inertia. this answer is very good ============================== But largely erroneous. "Centrifugal" force doesn't exist. It's a make-believe, made-up thing, that's not really there. When the centripetal force suddenly shuts off, the object proceeds in a straight line, in the direction it was going at the instant when the centripetal force stopped, and naturally, the straight line takes it straight away from what used to be the center of its motion. We see the object take off straight away from the former center, and we say "Gee, there must be a force pulling it away from there." But there isn't any. That "force" that you think you feel when the car turns a corner and you get pressed against the door, away from the curve ? That's just the tendency of your body to want to keep moving in a straight line, and its reaction to the centripetal force that the car-seat and the door are exerting on you in order to make your body move in a curved path. There is no "centrifugal" force.
Earth orbits the sun as a result of a centripetal force that is caused by?
The mutual force of gravitational attraction between the Earth and Sun.
What is the difference between centrifugal and centripital?
A moving object with no force acting on it continues moving in a straight line. Ittakes a force to bend it away from a straight path. As long as an external forceacts on the object and continues to point toward the same single point, the objectwill move in a circular path, and the force is called a "centripetal force", which meanssomething like "toward the center".Now, hold onto your seat: "Centrifugal" force doesn't exist. It's a make-believe,made-up thing, that's not really there.When the centripetal force suddenly shuts off, the object proceeds in a straightline, in the direction it was going at the instant when the centripetal force stopped.That straight line takes it NOT from what used to be the center of its motion,but on a tangent to that path, straight away from the point it was at when thecentripetal force shut off. Still, we see the object take off straight away fromthe point it was at, and we say "Gee, there must be a force pulling it away fromthere." But there isn't any.That "force" that you think you feel when the car turns a corner and you getpressed against the door, away from the curve ? That's just the tendency ofyour body to want to keep moving in a straight line, and its reaction to thecentripetal force that the car-seat and the door are exerting on you in orderto make your body move in a curved path. There is no "centrifugal" force.Answer2:Centrifugal force is as real as centripetal force, centripetal force is center seeking and centrifugal force is center fleeing. Both forces result form the derivative of the energy. Physicists do not recognize vector energy and this adds to the idea that centrifugl force is fictitous.Here is the real deal, energy is a QuaternionW = -vh/r + cmV = -vh/r + cPwhere -vh/r is the potential energy like -vh/r = -mGM/r and cmV is the vector energy, cP where P is the Momentum. The vector energy, Momentum energy is the so-called "Dark Energy".Force F = XW = [d/dr, Del][-vh/r, cP]F = [vh/r2 - cdel.P, cdP/dr -Del vh/r + cDelxP]F = [vp/r - cp/r cos(PR), -cp/r 1P + vp/r 1R + cp/r sin(PR) 1RxP]The centripetal force is vp/r a center seeking force.The centrifugal force is - cp/r cos(PR), this is the Divergence of the vector energy cP.When the centripetal and centrifugal forces are equal vp/r = cp/r cos(PR), there is no change relative to the center, this is called the Continuity Condition and is the source of the mysterious "redshift", v/c = cos(PR). The redshift is the indicator of the Continuity Condition, stable orbit and vector force,F = cp/r[0, -1P + v/c 1R + sin(PR) 1RxP]cp/r= cp/ct = p/t = mv/t = ma
When an object moves in a circular path it accelerates towards the center of the circle as a result of what?
Well, I was taught that it was centripetal force, but that was a long time ago.
What does tidal energy result from?
Tidal energy results from the gravitational pull on water by the Moon, and to a lesser degree, the sun. These gravitational effects combine with centrifugal forces that result from the Earth and the Moon orbiting each other.
Which way will the torque tend to rotate the runner?
The frictional force between the feet and the ground needs to generate the centripetal acceleration to keep the runner on a circular track. However, since this force is not acting at the center of gravity, it generates a net torque around the center of gravity. As a result, the runner can readily become unbalanced.
What forces keep the planet in its orbit?
They are the gravitational pull of the Sun and the "centrifugal force". In fact centrifugal force is not a "real" force. The effect is really caused by the inertia of the planet. That's its tendency to move in a straight line unless acted on by a force. The planet is acted on by the force of gravity. The result is that the planet follows a curved path - its orbit.
What kind of force is changing directions?
Centripetal force is always changing as it is a direct result as a change in velocity. This can be experienced when you drive in your car and go on an off or on ramp. You feel as though you are being pushed sideways.
Rock can become magma again as a result of?
erosion
