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.

A freight train rolls along a track with considerable momentum. If it were to roll at the same speed but had twice as much mass,
fomenos

Answer:

The momentum would be doubled

Explanation:

The magnitude of the momentum of the freight train is given by:

p=mv

where

m is the mass of the train

v is its speed

In this problem, we have that the speed of the train is unchanged, while the mass of the train is doubled:

m'=2m

therefore, the new momentum is

p'=m'v=(2m)v=2(mv)=2p

so, the momentum has also doubled.
