Centripetal acceleration of Earth around Sun. #1. blue5t1053. Problem: The earth's orbit (assumed circular) around the sun is 1.5e11 m in radius, and it makes this orbit once a year. What is the centripetal acceleration of the earth? Equations: a = (v^2) / r T = (2*pi*r) / v My work: T = (2*pi*r) / v; 1 year = (365 days / 1 year)*(24 hours / 1 day)*(60 mins / 1 day)*(60 secs / 1 min) = 3.1536e7 s;
A force always causes the centripetal acceleration. For a swingball (or tetherball) game, it is the tension in the string. For a satellite, it is the force of gravity. For a car moving around a corner, it is the frictional force between the car and the road. If you remove that force, you remove the centripetal acceleration, and if you remove the centripetal acceleration, the object will continue in a straight line tangent to the circle. Equation
