Centripetal force is the force that keeps an object moving in a curved path and is directed towards the center of the curvature. It is necessary to maintain circular motion and prevent the object from moving in a straight line. The magnitude of the centripetal force is dependent on the mass of the object, its speed, and the radius of the curve.

What is sentripital?
I'm not familiar with the term "sentripital." Could you provide more context or clarify your question?
What are 10 examples of action-at-a-distance force?
Gravitational force Magnetic force Electric force Nuclear force Electrostatic force Tension force in a rope Friction force Spring force Drag force Buoyant force
What are 10 examples of non-contact forces?
Gravitational force Electrostatic force Magnetic force Nuclear force Tension force Frictional force Normal force Buoyant force Air resistance force Elastic force
What is the net force on the force gauge?
If the force gauge isn't moving, the the net force must needs be zero.
Electric force is a contact force or force at a distance?
Electric force is a force at a distance, not a contact force. It is a fundamental force of nature that acts between charged particles without the need for physical contact. The strength of the electric force is determined by the magnitude of the charges and the distance between them.
