Answer 2

Well.. they're both kind of different I suppose. Not exactly sure why it's comparing the car with the moon. In the scenario with a car, the friction plays the role of the centripetal force. Whereas the moon orbits due to the gravitational pull. If the gravitational force wasn't there, the moon would either fly away or collide with the Earth.

Answer 3

Ahh I see, thank you once again!

Answer 4

You're welcome X)

Answer 5

@CShrix Force/acceleration is greatest at the ends end of pendulums and velocity is greatest at the end of the pendulum, right?

Answer 6

I meant middle for velocity*

Answer 7

Acceleration reaches a maximum at the ends of a pendulum's oscillation, whereas velocity reaches a maximum when the pendulum passes through the center.

Answer 8

awesome, once again, I really appreciate the help! :D
