Question

what is centipetal force what is its work

Answer 1

The force which is directed towards the centre of circle is called centripetal force.”

Explanation:

Consider a body moving with uniform speed in a circular path.In this case velocity changes only in direction and not in magnitude.Applying Newton’s first law of motion we find that some external force must be acting on the particle.Without presence of external force ,the velocity can’t change.Since velocity is changing continuously,therefore the external force must  be acting continuously.


There are some applications of centripetal force in our daily life which are given below:

Banking of roads.Washing machine dryer.Cream separator.
