Centripetal force (from Latin centrum "center" and petere "to seek"[1]) is a force that makes a body follow a curved path: its direction is always orthogonal to the velocity of the body‚ toward the fixed point of the instantaneous center of curvature of the path. Centripetal force is generally the cause of circular motion. In simple terms‚ centripetal force is defined as a force which keeps a body moving with a uniform speed along a circular path and is directed along the radius towards the centre

The purpose of this experiment is to test if the the radius of a circle affects how much centripetal force affects an object. Centripetal force plays a major part in every day life. This force is the reason for the sensation of being ‘pushed’ into the car door that passengers in a car feel when the driver makes a sharp left turn (The Centripetal Force Requirement‚ n.d.). It is the reason people feel almost weightless on rollercoasters‚ and on an even larger scale‚ it is what keeps the moon orbiting

CENTRIPETAL FORCE ON A PENDULUM OBJECTIVE To measure centripetal force exerted on a pendulum using the force sensor bob and in so doing compare this value determined by force calculations based on the height of the pendulum. THEORY Newton’s laws of motion are the basis for this experiment. Newton’s first law of motion states that a body in motion will remain in motion unless acted upon by an external force. Newton’s second law of motion states that the rate of momentum of a body is dependent on

verify the relationship centripetal force‚ mass‚ velocity‚ and the radius of orbit for a body that is undergoing centripetal acceleration. Background Information An object moving in the same direction is not necessarily undergoing acceleration. If the object changes speed while moving in the same direction there is acceleration (or deceleration). On the other hand‚ if the object moves at a constant speed in the same direction‚ there is no acceleration. This does not mean that constant speed

Abstract This purpose of this experiment was to observe the relationship between centripetal acceleration‚ centripetal force‚ and a mass M. In this experiment we used a circular motion apparatus that had a plumb bob attached to a metal shaft (that connected the plumb bob to the vertical shaft) and spring. We found the centripetal force from the spring when it was in circular motion. We hung masses off a pulley system that was attached to the plumb bob until the plumb bob was perpendicular to the
