Hey i know this is a math site but IM struggling with a not too difficult physics question, so I didn't know where else to put this if there's anyone here who's good and has knowledge of physics please help
The qustion says
State the nature of the unbalanced force which is responsible for the circular motion in the following:
(i) A Simple Pendulum
(ii)The earth moving around the sun
(iii)Clothes rotating in a spin dryer
(iv)A car travelling around a bend
(v) An electron moving around the nucleus in an atom
For the first one I have tensional force
For the second one I have gravitational force
But for the others I'm unsure, I was thinking wait why don't I put centrifugal force for all?
But then i realized thats the resulting force of the motion, they want the nature of what's causing it, so for the others I'm unsure.
If I was to guess for 4 and 5, I would say frictional force and Nuclear force but for number 3 not sure at all.
