physics.centripetal_force

Description : Centripetal force is the force acting on an object in curvilinear motion directed towards the axis of rotation or centre of curvature.

The unit of centripetal force is newton.

The centripetal force is always directed perpendicular to the direction of the object’s displacement. Using Newton’s second law of motion, it is found that the centripetal force of an object moving in a circular path always acts towards the centre of the circle. The Centripetal Force Formula is given as the product of mass (in kg) and tangential velocity (in meters per second) squared, divided by the radius (in meters) that implies that on doubling the tangential velocity, the centripetal force will be quadrupled. Mathematically it is written as: F = mv²/r Where, F is the Centripetal force, m is the mass of the object, v is the speed or velocity of the object and r is the radius.
