    Question: In which situation would a space probe most likely experience centripetal acceleration?

    as it revolves around a planet

    as it flies straight past a moon

    as it is pulled in a line toward the Sun

    as it lifts off from Earth

    Answer:

    When "space probe revolves around a planet" most likely to experience centripetal acceleration

    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 center. 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.
