<span>When an object travels in a curved path, there must be a force acting toward the center of the circular trajectory. This force is called "centripetal force", and it cause an acceleration of the object, called "centripetal acceleration". The effect of this acceleration is that the velocity of the object changes in direction: however if the circular motion is uniform, the speed (=the magnitude of the velocity) does not change. In this case, the magnitude of the centripetal force is given by

where m is the mass of the object, v its velocity, and r the radius of the circular path.</span>
Answer:
--
Explanation:
All potential and kinetic energy is transferred into heat. Therefore keeping the law of conservation of energy valid. No energy is created nor destroyed only changing shape.
The acceleration due to gravity is given as:
g = GM/r²
<h3>
Derivation of gravitational acceleration:</h3>
According to Newton's second law of motion,
F = ma
where,
F = force
m = mass
a = acceleration
According to Newton's law of gravity,
F<em>g </em>= GMm/(r + h)²
F<em>g = </em>gravitational force
From Newton's second law of motion,
F<em>g </em>= ma
a = F<em>g</em>/m
We can refer to "a" as "g"
a = g = GMm/(m)(r + h)²
g = GM/(r + h)²
When the object is on or close to the surface, the value of g is constant and height has no considerable impact. Hence, it can be written as,
g = GM/r²
