Description : Centripetal force is the force acting on an object in
3-
curvilinear motion directed towards the axis of rotation
4-
or centre of curvature.
52
6-
The unit of centripetal force is newton.
7-
8-
The centripetal force is always directed perpendicular to the
9-
direction of the object's displacement. Using Newton's second
10-
law of motion, it is found that the centripetal force of an object
11-
moving in a circular path always acts towards the centre of the circle.
12-
The Centripetal Force Formula is given as the product of mass (in kg)
13-
and tangential velocity (in meters per second) squared, divided by the
14-
radius (in meters) that implies that on doubling the tangential velocity,
15-
the centripetal force will be quadrupled. Mathematically it is written as:
163
F = mv²/r
17-
Where, F is the Centripetal force, m is the mass of the object, v is the
18-
speed or velocity of the object and r is the radius.
