What is Centripetal Force?

A centripetal force (from Latin centrum, "center" and petere, "to seek") 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 causing astronomical orbits.

How to Calculate Centripetal Force?

Centripetal Force calculator uses Centripetal Force=(Mass*(Velocity)^2)/Radius to calculate the Centripetal Force, A 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. Centripetal Force and is denoted by Fc symbol.

How to calculate Centripetal Force using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Centripetal Force, enter Mass (m), Velocity (v) and Radius (r) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Centripetal Force calculation can be explained with given input values -> 709000 = (35.45*(60)^2)/0.18.

FAQ

What is Centripetal Force?

A 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 and is represented as Fc=(m*(v)^2)/r or Centripetal Force=(Mass*(Velocity)^2)/Radius. Mass is the quantity of matter in a body regardless of its volume or of any forces acting on it, Velocity, in physics, is a vector quantity (it has both magnitude and direction), and is the time rate of change of position (of an object). and Radius is a radial line from the focus to any point of a curve.

How to calculate Centripetal Force?

A 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 is calculated using Centripetal Force=(Mass*(Velocity)^2)/Radius. To calculate Centripetal Force, you need Mass (m), Velocity (v) and Radius (r). With our tool, you need to enter the respective value for Mass, Velocity and Radius and hit the calculate button. You can also select the units (if any) for Input(s) and the Output as well.

How many ways are there to calculate Centripetal Force?

In this formula, Centripetal Force uses Mass, Velocity and Radius. We can use 1 other way(s) to calculate the same, which is/are as follows -

Centripetal Force=Mass*(Angular velocity^2)*Radius of Curvature
