Is the radial acceleartion of Earth at the equator the same thing as g (9.8)?
I read that
"Radial acceleration results from the action of the force generated by the string that pulls the ball toward the center of the circle. In the case of a satellite in orbit, the force causing the radial acceleration is Earth’s gravity pulling the satellite toward the center of the planet."
Does that mean gravity is the radial acceleartion?
Also, would someone please take a look at:
