What provides the centripetal force for the moon's orbit around Earth?​

Physics

ivann1987 [24]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

<u>Gravitational attraction provides the centripetal force needed to keep planets in orbit around the Sun and all types of satellite in orbit around the Earth. This centripetal force is supplied by gravity. The Earth's gravity keeps the Moon orbiting us.</u> Centripetal force is perpendicular to velocity and causes uniform circular motion. The gravitational attraction of the Sun is an inward force acting on Earth. This force produces the centripetal acceleration of the orbital motion. Centripetal forces are always directed toward the center of the circular path.

Ox:vₓ=v₀

x=v₀t

Oy:y=h-gt²/2

|vy|=gt

tgα=|vy|/vₓ=gt/v₀=>t=v₀tgα/g

y=0=>h=gt²/2=v₀²tg²α/2g=>tgα=√(2gh/v₀²)=√(2*10*20/24²)=√(400/576)=0.83=>α=tg⁻¹0.83=39°

cosα=vₓ/v=v₀/v=>v=v₀/cosα=24/cos39°=24/0,77=31.16 m/s

Ec=mv²/2=2*31.16²/2=971.47 J=>Ec≈0.97 kJ
