Knowing the force of gravity for Earth, let's find out how fast Earth needs to go around the Sun, assuming uniform circular motion. Take the Force of Gravity and divide it by the mass of the Earth (This is the gravitational acceleration, or centripetal acceleration, of the Earth toward the Sun) Use this centripetal acceleration and the data from the table above to calculate the velocity of the Earth. (Answer in m/s)
Consider the following figure. A race track is constructed such that two curves of constant radius, 80 m at A and 40 m at B, are joined by two stretches of straight track as in the figure above.
