What is centripetal acceleration give equation
Answers
Explanation:
Hey ❤
✦ Centripetal force is a force that makes a body follow a curved path. Its direction is always orthogonal to the motion of the body and towards the fixed point of the instantaneous center of curvature of the path. Isaac Newton described it as "a force by which bodies are drawn or impelled, or in any way tend, towards a point as to a centre". In Newtonian mechanics, gravity provides the centripetal force responsible for astronomical orbits.
✦ One common example involving centripetal force is the case in which a body moves with uniform speed along a circular path. The centripetal force is directed at right angles to the motion and also along the radius towards the centre of the circular path. The mathematical description was derived in 1659 by the Dutch physicist Christiaan Huygens
QUESTION
what is centripetal acceleration,.. It's equation
ANSWER
when body moves along the circumstances of a circle there it will produce an acceleration towards the centre of the circle and this acceleration is called as the centripetal acceleration
There is a force that provides this centripetal acceleration and that force is known as centripetal force
Equation for both are mentioned below
Centripetal acceleration
Equation =>
a = v^2 /R
Centripetal force
Equation =>
f = mv^2 /R
