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.

State 7m to 250cm as a ratio in its lowest terms

madam [21]

First you have to convert the numbers to the same units. Either m to cm or cm to m.
To go from meters to centimeters you multiply the number by 100.
7*100=700cm
Now you have 700cm/250cm. This needs simplified
I divided each number by 50 to get 14 and 5
14cm/5cm or 14cm:5cm

Kate borrowed $400 from her friend. She will repay this amount plus 3 percent simple interest after one year. What is the total

tekilochka [14]

The answer is $412.

Let's first calculate simple interest. Simple interest (I) can be expressed as:
I = P * r * t
P - principal
r - rate
t - time period

It is given:
I = ?
P = $400
r = 3% = 0.03
t = 1 year

Therefore:
I = P * r * t = 400 * 0.03 * 1 = 12

The total amount Kate will repay is the principal amount (P) plus 3% simple interest (I):
P + I = 400 + 12 = $412
