Respuesta :

Answer:

Options:

  1. A satellite in orbit around a moon.
  2. A car driving around a curve

Explanation:

  • The object is moving in a circle with some centripetal acceleration,Fc which has a direction towards the center of the circle pointing in counter clockwise direction. So, it is a very simplified form of motion that is compelling towards the center of the circle.

Answer:

a satellite in orbit around a moon

Explanation:

The above question represents an illustration of a circle with a black dot in the circle in the upper left corner with a vector tangent to the circle and pointing in a counterclockwise direction. This illustration probably refers to a satellite orbiting around the moon. That's because satellites tend to orbit counterclockwise from the celestial body they orbit. As the vector in the image points to the counterclockwise side, we have a clue that the image is referring to a satellite.
