Concept explainers

Centripetal Force

A particle, body, object or certain mass while travelling in a rotational path or semicircular path, experiences an inertia force. If that inertia force pulls the towards the inward of the imaginary circle in the rotation, it is termed as centripetal force.

Question

. One day in the future you may take a pleasure cruise to the Moon.
While there you might climb a lunar mountain and throw a rock
horizontally from its summit. If, in principle, you could throw
the rock fast enough, it might end up hitting you in the back.

Check Your Understanding Assume you are in a spacecraft in orbit about the Sun at Earth’s orbit, but far away from Earth (so that it can be ignored).
