Question

Which force causes uniform circular motion

Answer 1

Answer

• Any net force causing uniform circular motion is called a centripetal force. The direction of a centripetal force is toward the center of curvature, the same as the direction of centripetal acceleration. According to Newton's second law of motion, net force is mass times acceleration: net F = ma.

Answer 2

Answer:

Net Force
