Centripetal Force
Centripetal Force
Motion of Moon around Earth and Centripetal Force:
The motion of the moon around the earth is due to centripetal force provided by the force of attraction of the Earth. The force that keeps a body moving along the circular path is acting towards the centre and responsible for the change in direction of velocity or acceleration is called centripetal (centre seeking) force. The motion of the moon around the earth is due to the centripetal force. The centripetal force is provided by the force of attraction of the earth. If there were no such force, then the moon would pursue a uniform straight line motion. If an object of mass m moves with a uniform speed (v) along a circular path of radius (r), its acceleration is
. Then by Newton’s second law of motion, the centripetal force is
.
Example:
1. Spinning a ball on a string or twirling a lasso.
2. Turning a car.
3.Going through aloop on aroller coaster.
4. Planets around the sun.
Which of the following are correct : (a) The motion of the moon around the earth is due to centripetal force provided by the force of attraction of the Earth. (b) Planets around the sun is due to centripetal force. | |||

Students / Parents Reviews [10]
A marvelous experience with Abhyas. I am glad to share that my ward has achieved more than enough at the Ambala ABHYAS centre. Years have passed on and more and more he has gained. May the centre flourish and develop day by day by the grace of God.

10thMy experience with Abhyas is very good. I have learnt many things here like vedic maths and reasoning also. Teachers here first take our doubts and then there are assignments to verify our weak points.
Shivam Rana
7thOne of the best institutes to develope a child interest in studies.Provides SST and English knowledge also unlike other institutes. Teachers are co operative and friendly online tests andPPT develope practical knowledge also.
