Complete Question

For each of the following scenarios, describe the force providing the centripetal force for the motion:

a. a car making a turn

b. a child swinging around a pole

c. a person sitting on a bench facing the center of a carousel

d. a rock swinging on a string

e. the Earth orbiting the Sun.

Considering a

    The force providing the centripetal force is the frictional force on the tires \

          i.e  

    where is the coefficient of static friction

Considering b

   The force providing the centripetal force is the force experienced by the boys  hand on the pole

Considering c

     The force providing the centripetal force is the normal from the bench due to the boys weight

Considering d

     The force providing the centripetal force is the tension on the string

Considering e

      The force providing the centripetal force is the force of gravity between the earth and the sun
