Question

Obtain an expression for the centripetal force F acting on a particle of mass m moving with velocity v in a circle of radius r

Answer 1

Centripetal forceis a force on an object directed to the center of a circular path thatkeeps the object on the path. Its value is based on three factors: 1) the velocity of the object as it follows the circular path; 2) the object's distance from the center of thepath; and 3) the mass of the object.
