The centripetal force is the gravitational force of attraction between the Earth and the Moon.

Also, the gravitational force of attraction between the Earth and the Sun is the centripetal force that causes the Earth to stay in orbit around the Sun.

Also, the gravitational force of attraction between a TV satellite, a weather satellite, or a GPS satellite and the Earth is the centripetal force that causes each satellite to stay in orbit around the Earth.

monitta

Answer:

Explanation:

velocity of light in a medium of refractive index V = V₀ / μ

V₀  is velocity of light in air and μ is refractive index of light.

time to travel in tube with air =  length of tube / velocity of light

8.72 ns = L / V₀  L is length of tube .

time to travel in tube with jelly =  length of tube / velocity of light

8.72+ 1.82  = L / V  L is length of tube .

10.54 ns = L / V

dividing the equations

10.54 / 8.72 = V₀  / V

10.54 / 8.72 =   μ

1.21 =  μ

refractive index of jelly = 1.21 .
