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

(a)

Calculate the acceleration of gravity (in m/s²) on the surface of the sun.

(b)

By what factor would your weight increase if you could stand on the sun? (Never mind that you can't.)
