Question

what is centripetal force explain in detail

Answer 1

Answer:

Centripetal force is defined as, "the force that is necessary to keep an object moving in a curved path and that is directed inward toward the center of rotation," while centrifugal force is defined as "the apparent force that is felt by an object moving in a curved path that acts outwardly away from the center of

According to Newton's first law of motion, a moving body travels along a straight path with constant velocity unless it is acted on by an external force. Now, in a circular motion body moves in a circular track, therefore, its velocity is changing every moment and telling us that there is some kind of force acting on it.

For circular motion to occur there must be constant force acting on a body, pushing it toward the center of the circular path. This force is called the centripetal (“center-seeking”) force.

For example: A planet orbiting the sun, the force is gravitational force. The magnitude of this centripetal force is given by

$F =$$\frac{mv²}{r}$

Where, F is the centripetal force

  m is mass of the body

  v is velocity of the orbiting body

  r is the radius of the circular track.

Now, according to Newton's third law of motion, for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. The centripetal force, the action, is balanced by a reaction force, the centrifugal (“center-fleeing”) force.

Definition: Centripetal force is a force which causes a body to move in a circular track.
