Gravitational force
In nature, every object is attracted by every other object. This phenomenon is called gravity. The force associated with gravity is called gravitational force. The gravitational force is the weakest force that exists in nature. The gravitational force is always attractive.
Acceleration Due to Gravity
In fundamental physics, gravity or gravitational force is the universal attractive force acting between all the matters that exist or exhibit. It is the weakest known force. Therefore no internal changes in an object occurs due to this force. On the other hand, it has control over the trajectories of bodies in the solar system and in the universe due to its vast scope and universal action. The free fall of objects on Earth and the motions of celestial bodies, according to Newton, are both determined by the same force. It was Newton who put forward that the moon is held by a strong attractive force exerted by the Earth which makes it revolve in a straight line. He was sure that this force is similar to the downward force which Earth exerts on all the objects on it.

A race car rounds one end of a speedway. This end of the track is a turn with a radius r of approximately 187 ft.
If the track is assumed to be completely flat and the race car is traveling at a constant 71.00 mi/h around the turn, what is the race
car's centripetal (radial) acceleration ac?
ac =
ft/s²
Convert this result to SI units.
ac =
m/s²
What is the force responsible for the centripetal acceleration in this case?
friction
O gravity
O weight
normal

To keep from skidding into the wall on the outside of the turn, what is the minimum coefficient of static friction μ, between the
race car's tires and the track?
