Centripetal forces are forces of?
Centripetal force is that which bind you toward the center when you are tilted at turning.
What is the formula to find centripetal force?
Centripetal force is always directed towards the center of the circle of motion that an object is traveling in.
What factors are true about centripetal force?
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.
How do they affect the centripetal 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.
Is centripetal force also called an inward force?
Yes. Centripetal is center seeking force. Centrifugal is center fleeing force.
A satelitte is obriting the earth What is the centripetal accerleration?
a = v^2 / rwhere:a = centripetal acceleration ((metres / second) / second)v = orbital velocity (metres/second)r = orbital radius from earth centre of gravity (metres)
Equals change in speed divided by time?
Accerleration
What causes a change in an objects accerleration?
Applied force
Accerleration occurs when an object changes its?
applied force
What two factors determine how great an objetc's accerleration is?
Mass & the force acting on it.
What keeps an object in centripetal motion?
The centripetal force
The word means center-seeking?
centripetal
What is a sentence using the word centripetal?
A ball on a string is an example of centripetal acceleration
What is the rate change in velocity?
The rate of change in velocity is known as acceleration.
What is the definition of Centripetal?
"Center-seeking" or "directed to the center" is the definition of centripetal.
Can centripetal force produce rotation?
no, but rotation can produce centripetal force
How does centripetal force affect centripetal force?
Centripetal acceleration is proportional to the square of the speed (a = v2/r). Therefore, according to Newton's Second Law, centripetal force is also proportional to the square of the speed.
