The sun’s gravitational attraction and the planet’s inertia keeps planets moving is circular orbits.
Explanation:
The planets in the Solar System move around the Sun in a circular orbit. This motion can be explained as a combination of two effects:
1) The gravitational attraction of the Sun. The Sun exerts a force of gravitational attraction on every planet. This force is directed towards the Sun, and its magnitude is
where
G is the gravitational constant
M is the mass of the Sun
m is the mass of the planet
r is the distance between the Sun and the planet
This force acts as centripetal force, continuously "pulling" the planet towards the centre of its circular orbit.
2) The inertia of the planet. In fact, according to Newton's first law, an object in motion at constant velocity will continue moving at its velocity, unless acted upon an external unbalanced force. Therefore, the planet tends to continue its motion in a straight line (tangential to the circular orbit), however it turns in a circle due to the presence of the gravitational attraction of the Sun.

Answer:
Force on front axle = 6392.85 N
Force on rear axle = 8616.45 N
Explanation:
As we know that the weight of the car is balanced by the normal force on the front wheel and rear wheels
Now we know that
now we know that distance between the axis is 2.70 m and centre of mass is 1.15 m behind front axle
so we can write torque balance about its center of mass
now from above equation
now we have
now the other force is given as
