Question

Categorize the following examples as centripetal or centrifugal force:

1.Weight of an object at the equator, Car going around curve, Swing something from a
string, Satellite in an orbit, Weight of an object at the poles, Roller coaster, Spinning of top,
Revolution of moon around earth and Equatorial railway.​

Answer 1

Answer:

weight of an object at the equator :centripetal force,car going around curve :centrifugal force,swing something from a string: centripetal force,satellite in an orbit :centripetal force ,weight of an.object at the poles : centrifugal force ,roller coaster: centripetal force,spinning of top : centripetal force,revolution of moon around earth : centripetal force ,equatorial railway : centrifugal force.

Explanation:

Centripetal force is defined as, "the force that is necessary to keep an object moving in a curved path and that is directed inward toward the center of rotation," while centrifugal force is defined as "the apparent force that is felt by an object moving in a curved path that acts outwardly away from the center of ...
