The direction of a centripetal force is toward the center of curvature, the same as the direction of centripetal acceleration. According to Newton's second law of motion, net force is mass times acceleration: net F = ma. For uniform circular motion, the acceleration is the centripetal acceleration—a = ac.

How do you calculate centripetal force on a calculator?
To calculate the centripetal force for an object travelling in a circular motion, you should:
- Find the square of its linear velocity, v² .
- Multiply this value by its mass, m .
- Divide everything by the circle's radius, r .
What is centripetal force write its formula?
a force which acts on a body moving in a circular path and is directed towards the center of the circular path. The expression for it is. F=mv2/r=mrw2=mwv. Directed towards the center.
What is the formula for circular motion?
Equations
| Equation | Symbol breakdown |
|---|---|
| v = r ω v = r \omega v=rω | v v v is linear speed, r is radius, ω is angular speed. |
| T = 2 π ω = 1 f T = \dfrac2\pi\omega = \dfrac1f T=ω2π=f1 | T T T is period, ω is angular speed, and f is frequency |
What is the SI unit of centripetal force?
➡a force which acts on a body moving in a circular path and is directed towards the centre around which the body is moving. Si unit ➡Centripetal force is measured in Newtons.
How do you calculate work?
Work can be calculated with the equation: Work = Force × Distance. The SI unit for work is the joule (J), or Newton • meter (N • m). One joule equals the amount of work that is done when 1 N of force moves an object over a distance of 1 m.
What are 3 examples of centripetal force?
Just a few examples are the tension in the rope on a tether ball, the force of Earth's gravity on the Moon, friction between roller skates and a rink floor, a banked roadway's force on a car, and forces on the tube of a spinning centrifuge. Any net force causing uniform circular motion is called a centripetal force.
What is centripetal force give example?
A force acting on a moving body at an angle to the direction of motion, tending to make the body follow a circular or curved path. The force of gravity acting on a satellite in orbit is an example of a centripetal force; the friction of the tires of a car making a turn similarly provides centripetal force on the car.
What is the symbol of centripetal force?
Key terms
| Term (symbol) | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Centripetal force ( F c F_c FcF, start subscript, c, end subscript) | Net force acting in the direction towards the center of a circular path, causing centripetal acceleration. Direction is perpendicular to the object's linear velocity. Also sometimes called radial force. |
