The first time we read this, we think that we'll have to go look up a bunch of stuff about the gravitational constant, centripetal force, orbital mechanics, the Moon's period of revolution, and who knows whut owl !

But you know whut ?  The only thing we need is Newton's 2nd law:

F = m A

Divide each side by m :

Acceleration = Force / mass

Acceleration = (2.03 x 10²⁰ Newtons) / (7.35 x 10²² kg)

Acceleration = (2.03 x 10²⁰ / 7.35 x 10²² kg) (m/s²)

<em>Acceleration = 0.00276 m/s²</em>

Centripetal force is a centering force related to acceleration. The centripetal force when driving prevents which of the followi
aivan3 [116]

Answer:

C. The car from driving off the road on a curve

Explanation:

A centripetal force actually causes circular motion. This occurs when an object moves in a circular path or a circle,a force will definitely act on it.

For instance, a car travelling in a circular path must definitely experience this force acting on it, even when the car moves at a constant speed. If it does not exist the object will definitely spin off in a direction tangential to the circular path or curve.
