Centripetal force is a force that makes a body follow a curved path: it is always directed orthogonal to the velocity of the body, toward the instantaneous center of curvature of the path. The term centripetal force comes from the Latin words centrum ("center") and petere ("tend towards", "aim at"), signifying that the force is directed inward toward the center of curvature of the path. Isaac Newton's description was: "A centripetal force is that by which bodies are drawn or impelled, or in any way tend, towards a point as to a center."

What kind of forces on a falling object are balanced and the object falls with constant speed?
The forces are balanced because they are falling at a constant speed. According to Newtons first law of motion an object will keep moving unless an unbalanced or net force acts upon it. If we may step in here for the novel purpose of answering the question . . . The balanced forces on an object that is falling with constant speed are typically the force of gravity (the object's 'weight') and the equal and opposite force of air resistance.
What kind of intermolecular forces does CO have?
Dipole-dipole attraction and van der Waals forces.
What is the only one of its kind called?
An item or object that is the only one of its kind is referred to as a "unique" or "one-of-a-kind."
What are the condition for an object to stay at rest to keep moving at constant velocity?
The condition for an object to stay at rest or if moving, moving at a constant velocity is that the sum of forces acting on the object be zero or that no force acts on the object.
What forces affect the speed and rate acceleration?
The force on a body determines its acceleration, speed depends on how long the acceleration lasts. Wind resistance and road friction (or other mechanical drag) will affect the power required to maintain a certain speed.
What is the difference between net force and balanced forces?
Net force is the overall force acting on an object when all individual forces are taken into account. Balanced forces occur when the net force on an object is zero, meaning the object remains at rest or moves at a constant velocity. In contrast, unbalanced forces cause acceleration or deceleration of an object.
What are some of the forces that act upon object in motion?
What kind of object in what kind of motion? The question is too vague to answer, and the forces depend on the properties of the object and its environment anyway. For example, there might ... or might not ... be significant electromagnetic and/or gravitational forces acting on the object (technically, any real object in the real universe WILL have electromagnetic and gravitational forces acting on it, but they may be insignificant in some cases).
What kind of a force is centripetal force?
When a body is forced to follow a curved path and be directional to the velocity of the path it is known as a centripetal force. Simply put, centripetal force is the cause of circular motion. An example is a loop within a roller coaster that goes upside down, the centripetal force is applied to the track making the coaster travel through at speed.
What kind of force is required when an object is moved at rest?
To move an object that is at rest, you must overcome all other forces that are acting on the object, such as friction.
What kind of force moves an object away (4th grade)?
The two major forces that act upon a body are centrifugal force and centripetal force. Centrifugal force causes a body to fly outwards, or moves a body away and centripetal force counteracts centrifugal force, preventing the object from flying out and keeping it moving with a constant speed, in a circular path.Search templates (CTRL+Space) New TemplateHide button
Is it possible to fly with centrifugal forces?
A spinning object can throw things, which is a kind of uncontrolled flight.
What kind of force acts on an object and causes a change in motion?
The force that acts on an object and causes a change in its motion is called unbalanced force. When the forces acting on an object are not in equilibrium, causing a net force in a particular direction, it can result in the object accelerating or decelerating.
What kind of force is pressure?
Pressure is a force applied perpendicular to the surface of an object due to the contact with another object or fluid. It is measured as force per unit area and can cause deformation or compression of the object it is applied to.
Action-reaction forces always act on what kind of objects?
Action-reaction forces always act on two different objects. When object A exerts a force on object B, object B exerts an equal and opposite force on object A. This is known as Newton's third law of motion.
What kind of motion do unbalanced forces make?
Unbalanced forces result in an object's acceleration, causing it to change its speed or direction of motion. The object will continue to move in the direction of the stronger force until a balanced condition is achieved.
What kind of motion will be produced by balance forces?
Balanced forces will result in no motion or a state of equilibrium. When forces are equal and opposite in direction, they cancel each other out, resulting in no overall movement of an object.
What changes when an unbalanced force acts upon an object?
There's no such thing as "an unbalanced force". When the entire group of forces acting on an object is unbalanced, the object accelerates, in the direction of the vector sum of the forces.
