Question
johanna makes the table below to organize her notes about centripetal forces. circular motion centripetal force a space station in orbit x a child in a swing a ball on a string which type of force should she place in the cell marked x?
The centripetal force that keeps a space - station in orbit is gravity. Gravity provides the necessary inward force for the circular motion of the space - station around a celestial body. Tension is for objects like a ball on a string, friction is related to surface interactions and normal force is perpendicular to a surface.
