What is the centripetal force keeping the Earth in orbit?

I found how far the earth travels in one year (340,000,000), The Earths Tangential velocity (29814 m/s), and the centripetal acceleration of the earth (5.928e-3 m/s^2), but what is the centripetal force keeping the earth in orbit?

Answer:

<h2>The force due gravity is the centripetal force.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

A centripetal force can be defined as the force that makes a body to follow a curve path.

So, in this case, the centripetal force is the force that makes Eart orbit around the Sun.

If you think this through, you'll deduct that the force due gravity is the centripetal force, because it's responsible of the Earth orbit around the Sun.

You can rent a paddleboat at Lake Isabel. The cost is $15 for the first hour - then $9 for each hour after that. Use this information to complete the following: Write an equation in slope intercept form that represents the cost (y) of the rental based on the number of hours (x) you rent it. b) What is the y intercept of your equation? c) What does this mean in the context of the situation? d) What is the slope of your equation? e) What does this number mean in the context of the situation? f) Graph the line that is represented by your equation. Make sure to clearly label the axis. g) How much will it cost to rent the paddleboat for 4 hours? Show how you found your answer algebraically. Also show and explain where this information can be found on your graph.

Write a function to represent the set of ordered pairs.

Answer:

Option C $f (x) = x^ 2 - 2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that the relation describing the set of ordered pairs does not change at a costing rate

$y_2 -y_1 = 7-2 = 5\\\\y_3 -y_2 = 14- 7 = 7\\\\y_4 - y_3 = 23- 14 = 9$

Therefore the relationship is not linear.

However, the exchange rate $y_n- y_{n-1}$ increases by a factor of 2 units when n increases 1 unit. This allows us to conclude that the relationship is quadratic
