Answer:
the word centripetal is derived from two Greek words 'centrum' and 'petus' that translate into 'center' and 'seeking.
Explanation:
- The force applied to an object in curved motion that is pointed toward the axis of rotation or the center of curvature is known as a centripetal force.
- Newtons are used to measure centripetal force.
- The direction of the centripetal force is always perpendicular to the direction in which the item is moving.
- The centripetal force of an item moving in a circular path is discovered to always act towards the centre of the circle using Newton's second law of motion.
Formula to calculate centripetal force:
- The Centripetal Force Formula states that the centripetal force is the product of mass and tangential velocity squared, divided by the radius.
- This formula predicts that the centripetal force will double with a doubling of tangential velocity.
In mathematics, it is expressed as:
Final answer:
The word centripetal is derived from two Greek words meaning seeking the centre.
