Centripetal force is the net force directing an object toward the center of circular motion. Without it, objects move in straight lines; it's essential for understanding circular motion.
Формула
F = m × v² / r = m × ω² × r
Пошаговое руководство
- 1Enter mass, velocity, and radius of circular path
- 2Calculate using either velocity or angular velocity form
- 3Result is the required centripetal force
Решённые примеры
Ввод
m = 2 kg, v = 5 m/s, r = 1 m
Результат
F = 50 N
2 × 25 / 1 = 50
Распространённые ошибки
- ✕Confusing centripetal with centrifugal (fictitious)
- ✕Wrong radius measurement
