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.
Sound waves travel at 343 m/s through the air and faster through liquids and solids. The waves transfer energy from the source of the sound, e.g. a drum, to its surroundings. Your ear detects sound waves when vibrating air particles cause your eardrum to vibrate. The bigger the vibrations the louder the sound.
