Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Centripetal force is a force that acts on a body moving in a circular path and is directed toward the center around which the body is moving. Tidal forces are a result of the differential gravitational pull exerted by a celestial body (like the Moon or the Sun) on different parts of another body (like the Earth), which can be considered a form of centripetal force as they cause the oceans to bulge towards and away from the celestial bodies, creating tides.
