What is the force that causes objects to move in circles?
The force that causes circular motion is called "centripetal force".
What force is always perpendicular to the motion when in a circular motion?
The Centripetal Force
In circular motion the what force is always perpendicular to the motion?
The Centripetal Force
In what direction does centripetal force act on an object?
Centripetal force acts towards the center of the circle of motion.
Centripetal Force is that force which we apply on the object?
Centripetal force is a force that keeps an object inwards, in the case of circular motion or similar.
What is the name of the type of force that causes circular motion?
centripetal force
What is the force that causes objects to move in circles?
The force that causes circular motion is called "centripetal force".
What is the unbalanced force that causes an object move in circular motion?
centripetal force
How centripetal force affects circular motion?
Basically, the centripetal force CAUSES the circular motion in the first place. In other words, without a centripetal force, the moving object would just go straight ahead.
What is the centripetal force that causes it to move?
A centripetal force is a force that pulls something, that is moving in a circle, towards the center - in other words, keeping it in circular motion.
The centripetal force that causes circular motion always acts?
Towards the centre of the circle. Centripetal actually means "centre finding".
What keeps an object in centripetal motion?
The centripetal force
What does gravity have to do with the motion of the planets?
The gravitational force between planets supplies the centripetal force that causes them to orbit each other.
What force is always perpendicular to the motion when in a circular motion?
The Centripetal Force
In circular motion the what force is always perpendicular to the motion?
The Centripetal Force
What is a force produced by a circular motion that causes something to accelerate?
Circular motion doesn't produce force. 'Centripetal force' is necessary in order to produce circular motion. Also, so-called 'centrifugal force' isn't a force at all.
In what direction does centripetal force act on an object?
Centripetal force acts towards the center of the circle of motion.
