A space probe most likely experience centripetal acceleration as it revolves around a planet.

Answer: as it revolves around a planet

Explanation:

Centripetal acceleration defined as the rate in change of tangential velocity. Also, as per Newton's second law, any kind of force will be directly proportional to the acceleration attained by the object.

So, for centripetal acceleration, the force will be the centripetal force. The centripetal force will be acting on an object rotating in a circular motion with its direction of force towards the centre.

Thus, centripetal acceleration will be experienced by an object or a space probe when it is in a circular motion. It means the space probe is revolving around a planet.

As it revolves around a planet.

Explanation:

Space probe will experience centripetal acceleration as it revolves around a planet. According to newtons second law of motion force is directly proportional to the acceleration of the body, and centripetal acceleration is change in tangential velocity so body accelerate towards center and experience centripetal acceleration and body will gradually falls towards center.
