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.

konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

Space probes are made to conduct science experiments. They do not have people on them. Space probes have helped scientists get information about our solar system. Most probes are not designed to return to Earth. Some have landed on other planets! Others have flown past the planets and taken pictures of them for scientists to see. There are even some space probes that go into orbit around other planets and study them for a long time. The information they gather is used to help us understand the weather and other changes which happen on planets other than the Earth. This information is important in helping to plan other space missions such as ones to Mars and to Saturn.

What is the force felt by the 64-kg occupant of the car? Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropri
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

The force is -1.67\times10^{5}\ N

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of car = 64 kg

Suppose,  a 1400-kg car that stops from 34 km/h on a distance of 1.7 cm.

We need to calculate the acceleration

Using formula of acceleration

v^2-u^2=2as

Where, v = final velocity

u = initial velocity

a = acceleration

s = distance

Put the value into the formula

0^2-(34\times\dfrac{5}{18})^2=2\times a\times 1.7\times10^{-2}

a=\dfrac{(34\times\dfrac{5}{18})^2}{2\times1.7\times10^{-2}}

a=-2623.45\ m/s²

We need to calculate the force

Using formula of force

F=ma

F=64\times(-2623.45)

F=-1.67\times10^{5}\ N

Negative sign shows the direction of the force is in the direction opposite to the initial velocity.

Hence, The force is -1.67\times10^{5}\ N
