Centripetal force is a force that is required to exist to have a circular motion. Thus the centripetal force can be any force that is able to accomplish this task. Examples of centripetal forces are the gravitational force, the electromagnetic force, the frictional force, or the constraint forces. The centripetal force depends on the system that is involved in be in a spin of a rigid body, or of a planetary motion, etc. Each particular system that requires a rotation or a spin needs to have a corresponding centripetal force.
Centripetal force is always directed towards the center of the circle of motion that an object is traveling in.
Yes. Centripetal is center seeking force. Centrifugal is center fleeing force.
If an object moves in a circle, the centripetal acceleration can be calculated as speed squared divided by the radius. The centripetal force, of course, is calculated with Newton's Second Law: force = mass x acceleration. Therefore, the centripetal force will be equal to mass x speed2 / radius.
I believe centripetal is considered real, its centrifugal that's not real. It relates to the four fundamental forces.
The centripetal force is the force with which the centrifuge pushes some object inwards. The opposite force, of course, is the object pushing the centrifuge outwards.
Always centrifugal is the reaction force for centripetal
The centrifuge spins using centrifugal force and is used in many medical laboratory tests.
Centripetal force is a force that keeps an object inwards, in the case of circular motion or similar.
Centripetal force is the force necessary to apply to an object to get it to orbit; like spinning a rock on a string. It you are holding on to the string, you will feel a centrifugal force.
You must apply a force towards the centre of the circle. This is called a centripetal force.
No; "centripetal" implies an inward force.
The centripetal force is equal to the gravitational force when a particular body is in a circle. For a body that is in an orbit, the gravitational force is equivalent to the centripetal force.
Centripetal acceleration is the force inwards on an object moving in a circular motion.A centrifuge uses an acceleration (in terms of g, which is the acceleration due to gravity) that is specified by the user. A centrifuge uses 2 rotors at the same rotational speed but with different diameters to create 2 different accelerations.Particles of different masses will separate in the centrifuge because they move at different speeds due to acceleration.
no, but rotation can produce centripetal force
Answer It is the force which keeps a body moving in circular motion. Centripetal force is the force that acts opposite to cetrifugal force. Centripetal force is a real force. Centrifugal force is a pseudo-force
The gravitational force IS the centripetal force in this case.
