The centripetal force required is the same for both the young girl and a large man if they are both moving in a circular path at the same speed. The centripetal force depends on the mass of the object, its speed, and the radius of the circular path, but not on the size or weight of the object.

Why its easy to turn along a curved path of large radius as compared to the curved path of short radius?

The magnitude of centripetal force is calculated by the relation Fc=mv2/r where m is mass of the object,v speed of the object (constant) and r radius of the curved path.If the radius of curved path is large then centripetal force is decrease. Therefore it is easy to turn along a curved path of large radius as compared to a curved path of short radius.


How is artificial gravity provided by the centripetal force?

In science-fiction novels, large wheels are set up in space. It is very likely that this will eventually be done seriously. Somebody on the rim of such a large wheel would be accelerated towards the center of the wheel; the acceleration has a magnitude of v2/r. The person or object would feel this as a centrifugal force - a ficticious force. On a small scale, this force has just the same effect as gravitation.


The gravitational force between two metal spheres in outer space is 2000 N How large would the force be if the?

Is the gravitational force greater between objects with large masses?

Yes, the gravitational force between objects increases with the mass of the objects. The force is directly proportional to the product of the masses of the objects and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.


How does the gravitational force between 2 objects that have small masses compare to the gravitational force between large objects?

If the objects are the same distance apart (center to center), then the gravitational force between two less massive objects will be less than the gravitational force between two more massive objects.

If the magnitude of applied force falls short of required centripetal force then the object will move away from the centre of the circle?

Yes. It would spiral away such that the radius of rotation will increase, until the radius is large enough for the centripetal force to decrease to the applied force. (Centripetal force= mv2/r)

When taking a large step and planting the non-kicking foot to the side of a ball during soccer what are the principles of force summation used?

Several forces come in to play when kicking a soccer ball. The immediate force may be the velocity of the player as they run to the ball. Another force is the centripetal force of the player's thigh as it rotates at the hip. The third force is the centripetal force of the players lower leg as it rotates at the knee. A forth force is the centripetal force of the player's foot as it rotates at the ankle. The angle at which the foot comes into contact with the ball will depend the angle of flight. For example, the lower the point of contact, the higher the trajectory of the ball.

The force between the nucleus and the outermost electron for the large atom is?

The force between the nucleus and the outermost electron in a large atom is primarily governed by the attraction between the positively charged nucleus and the negatively charged electron. This force is known as the electrostatic force of attraction and is directly proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the nucleus and the electron.


What is the relationship between the sizes of the planet and their distances from the sun?

The size of a planet does not have any relevance with its distance from the sun.They are all dependent on the evolution after big bang which is a reference of their origin>mass / distance between / orbital velocity / gravity / centripetal forceThe (equal) force due to gravity on the planet and the sun is calculated from:f = (G * m1 * m2) / d2key:f = force (newtons)G = newtons gravity constantm1 = sun mass (kg)m2 = planet mass (kg)d = distance between centres of gravity (metres)The force due to centripetal action must equal the force of gravity, and only the one orbital velocity will provide this.orbital velocity (metres per second) = square root ( ( G * m2 ) / d )Its a fairly remote occurrence where all the (coincident) criteria are met, accounting for the large amount of space and the rarity of planets.

Why DO we have to apply large force to move a heavy body?

The large body will have a strong force of opposing friction, related to its large weight. The force of friction between two materials is equal to the normal (perpendicular) force between them, times a factor (the so-called coefficient of friction), which depends on the materials, but is typically less than one.


How does the gravitational force between 2 objects that have small masses compare to the gravitational force between large objects?

If the objects are the same distance apart (center to center), then the gravitational force between two less massive objects will be less than the gravitational force between two more massive objects.
