Centripetal refers to a force that acts on an object moving in a circular path, directing it towards the center of the circle. This force is necessary to keep an object from flying off in a straight line tangent to the circle.

Why do centripital and centrifugal forces differfrom each other?

Because they are opposite in direction


What forces are acting on a roller coaster in motion?

centripital motion, gravity, friction, ect.


Does satellite has acceleration due to gravity or not?

yes, this ADG helps the satellite to orbit earth. This is the centripital force


What is the motion of a ball around a rod?

The motion would be circular characteristic of the centripital forces applied to the ball.


Why dont people fall out of rollercosters?

if you mean when they do a loop-de-loop-centripital force (centrifical force dosent exist)keeps them in their seets


How do you find the centripital force?

Centripetal force is found using the equation F=mv2/r m=mass v=velocity r=radius


How would the motion of the moon change with no centripital force?

Without centripetal force, the moon would not be kept in its orbit around the Earth and would move off in a straight line tangent to its previous orbit. It would no longer follow a curved path around the Earth and would not be held in place by the balance of gravitational and centripetal forces.


What provide the force that produce centripital acceleration in orbit?

The gravitation of the central body. For example, for the Moon moving around the Earth, the centripetal force is the gravity between Earth and Moon.


Why the moon does not escape from the earth?

They orbit around their common centre of gravity, the orbital radius and velocity of both (centripital force) is exactly enough to overcome the force of gravity between them.


The moon revolves aroung earth at a fairly constant speed is the moon accelarating?

The Moon's speed is very constant. There are 2 kinds of acceleration: Linear and Centripital. Centripital acceleration is experienced by a body orbiting another body, like the Moon orbits the Earth, but it does not mean speeding up.


Why do objects go in a straight line after the centripital force is not exterted anymore?

That's just a special case of inertia. In general, objects have the tendency to move in a straight line, and at a constant speed, when no force is acting on them.
