Question

What is centripetal force define and explain it

Answer 1

Answer:

the force which compels a body to move in a circle is called centrifetal force.

Answer 2

$\red{\large{\mathcal{\underline{\underline{Answer :-}}}}}$

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.

The unit of centripetal force is Newton.

The centripetal force is always directed perpendicular to the direction of the displacement of the object. If an object accelerates according to the changes of velocity, then it can change either its speed or direction of motion. In simple terms, if any moving object in a circular path is constantly changing its direction means it is constantly accelerating. Using Newton’s second law of motion, if an object is travelling in a circular path, it is found that the centripetal force of an object moving in a circular path always acts towards the centre of the circle.
