Is centripetal force a outward force?
No; "centripetal" implies an inward force.
How centripetal force equals to gravitational force?
The centripetal force is equal to the gravitational force when a particular body is in a circle. For a body that is in an orbit, the gravitational force is equivalent to the centripetal force.
Can centripetal force produce rotation?
no, but rotation can produce centripetal force
What is the meaning of centripetal force?
Answer It is the force which keeps a body moving in circular motion. Centripetal force is the force that acts opposite to cetrifugal force. Centripetal force is a real force. Centrifugal force is a pseudo-force
Is centripetal force equal to gravitational force in working of a satillite?
The gravitational force IS the centripetal force in this case.
What is a force that holds a moving object in a circular path is called the?
centripetal- Dashun Walden
What factors are true about centripetal force?
Centripetal force is a force that is required to exist to have a circular motion. Thus the centripetal force can be any force that is able to accomplish this task. Examples of centripetal forces are the gravitational force, the electromagnetic force, the frictional force, or the constraint forces. The centripetal force depends on the system that is involved in be in a spin of a rigid body, or of a planetary motion, etc. Each particular system that requires a rotation or a spin needs to have a corresponding centripetal force.
How does centripetal force affect centripetal force?
Centripetal acceleration is proportional to the square of the speed (a = v2/r). Therefore, according to Newton's Second Law, centripetal force is also proportional to the square of the speed.
What keeps an object in centripetal motion?
The centripetal force
How does the centripetal force act on a satellite?
Centripetal force makes a satellite orbit a body.
What force acts on a motorcycle riding on the wall of a bowl centripetal or centifugal force?
Centripetal.
Centripetal force can it produce rotation?
A centripetal force is, by definition, a force that makes a body follow a curved path. So, yes, a centripetal force causes rotation about a point in space.
