Question

Which of these cannot be

a source of centripetal force?
A. mass
B. friction
C. electric force
D. gravity

Answer 1

A. mass

Mass never provides any force. It is what forces act on. Friction acts as a centripetal force on roads when you’re turning in a circle. Gravity acts as a centripetal force for things like satellites and rockets that orbit Earth and other planets. I’m less familiar with electric force, but I’m sure it can work as centripetal force too. Mass is the only option here that isn’t even a force.

Answer 2

D. Gravity

Step-by-step explanation:

Gravity cannot be a source of centripetal force. Gravity is the force of attraction from between all masses in the universe; especially the attraction of the earth’s mass for bodies near its surface; “gravitation cannot be held responsible for people falling in love” with Albert Einstein.

It manner that is serious and solemn. A solemn and dignified feeling.

Therefore, the correct answer is d. gravity.
