Question

define centripetal force and derive the equation.

Answer 1

the force which acts towards the centre is known as centripetal force

Answer 2

$\Large\bf\underline\red{Answer\ !!!}$

Centripetal force is the component of force acting on an object in curvilinear motion which is directed toward the axis of rotation or centre of curvature.

It's Equation -:

$f \: = \: ma_{c} \: = \frac{ {mv}^{2} }{r}$

Here,

¹✓ F is the Centripetal force.

²✓ ac is the Centripetal acceleration.

³✓ m is the mass of the object.

⁴✓ v is the speed or velocity of the object.

•✓ r is the radius.
