Aug 30, 2021 · Without any centripetal force, the distance from the center will increase, and in the rotating frame of reference, there is an apparent centrifugal force. When you include the …

Oct 14, 2019 · "Centripetal force" is only really a thing when something is traveling along a circular arc. For an object that is moving in a circle, the net force required in a direction …

Jan 18, 2025 · The centrifugal and centripetal forces very much do balance each other (in the rotating frame, which is the only frame where there is a centrifugal force anyway). That's what …

Jul 22, 2024 · Here is it: If a particle moves in circular motion, there will be a force pushing it towards the center of the circle, which is the centripetal force. However, as most of us know, …

What makes frictional force the centripetal force of a car turning along a curve? As friction is the opposing force and acts anti-parallel so there is no component of frictional force towards the c...

May 28, 2022 · The length of the unit vector is 1 and it has no units. Using this decomposition, you can write the centripetal force as $$\vec F_C=-\frac {mv^2} {r}\hat r$$ Take away from this: if …

Oct 13, 2016 · In this case, what provides the centripetal force on the car along the path? Is it the difference between its own gravitational force and the normal force exerted by the hill? p.s: as …

Jan 2, 2017 · In the "top" case, the net downward force is made up of the gravitational downward force, and the force of the structure. If the motion is very slow, little centripetal force is needed, …

Feb 27, 2014 · The force away from the center, which comes from the non-inertial coordinate system, is centrifugal force. The force toward the center, which keeps the object in orbit, is …

Jan 13, 2015 · Closed 10 years ago. A car moves along a flat, circular road. It has a tangential velocity to the road, but the car tires change direction and the car experiences a force of static …
