Centripetal Force is the correct answer


When an object moves in a circle blanke acts to accelerate the object toward the center of that circle is known as what?

Centripetal Force is the answer :)


Is Centripetal force causes an object to accelerate in a fixed direction true about centripetal force?

Cettripetal Force causes an object to accelerate towards the center. The direction changes as the object moves around the center and is not fixed if the object moves.

In what direction does centripetal force act on an object?

Centripetal force acts towards the center of the circle of motion.


What is centirpetal force?

When an object moves in a circle, a force is needed to pull the object towards the center of its motion. This force is called the centripetal force.


When an object is in motion in a circle what is the force that the object feels pushing it towards the outside of the circle?

This is one of the common misconception of early physics. There is no force pushing the object to the outside of the circle. The object (like all objects) wishes to remain in linear motion (Newtons first law). What is happening is 'there is a force accelerating the object towards the center of the circle. Now there have been names applied to the imaginary force that pushes object to the outside: Centrifugal acceleration.


When an object moves in a circle what acts to accelerate the object toward the center of circle?

Well, I was taught that it was centripetal force, but that was a long time ago.


How does an objects mass affect how it accelerates to earth?

It doesn't. Close to Earth's surface, any object will accelerate towards the center of the Earth at a rate of about 9.8 meters/second squared, regardless of the object's mass.


What effect does the force of gravity have on the speed of a ball when you throw it in the air?

Gravity will accelerate any object (aka, the ball) towards the center of the earth, (or "down") at 10m/s2.

The inward force needed to keep an object moving in a circle?

The force that keeps objects moving in a circle is known as the centripetal force, which acts towards the center. The velocity of the object moving in a circle will be tangential to the circle.
