Questions related to centripetal force 1. What supplies the centripetal force for (a) a satellite in orbit around the Earth, (b) the mass in uniform circular motion in this experiment? 2. An object in uniform circular motion is accelerating. How can this be, since uniform motion implies constant motion? If the centripetal force acting on an object in uniform motion su zero, what would happen to the object? That, is what would be its subsequent motion? 3. ddenly ceased to act or went to 4. Suppose that the centripetal force acting on an object in circular motion were increased to a new value, and the object remained in a circular path with the same radius. How would its motion be affected?

Explanation / Answer

1a) The centripetral force to the satellite is provided by gravitational forcve between earth and satellite

b)I am not sure of the experiment mentioned here

2)the motion is uniform in the sence that the object is rotation in circular motion at constant speed,i.e., the time taken by the object to complete one rotation with a fixed radius is constant.

3)The object will take off in a projectile motion with the speed equal to the motion's speed and angle equal to the angle the tangent makes

4)if the centripetal force is increased with same radius, then the velocity of the object will increase.
