Force required to keep an object moving in a circular pattern around a center of rotation. This force is directed towards the center of rotation. Common in meteorological phenomena like tornadoes and [..]

An inward-directed force that confines an object to a circular path; equal in magnitude to the centrifugal force but in the opposite direction.

force required to hold a moving object in a circular path against its tendency to fly outward. Spinning storms like hurricanes and dust devils exhibit it. The force is proportional to the square of the velocity, which means that doubling the object's speed increases the centripetal force four times.

The centripetal force is the radial component of the net force acting on a body when the problem is analyzed in an inertial system. The force is inward toward the instantaneous center of curvature of [..]

The ?center-seeking? force that causes an object to travel in a circle.

The force that produces centripetal acceleration.

The centripetal force is the radial component of the net force acting on a body when the problem is analyzed in an inertial system. The force is inward toward the instantaneous center of curvature of [..]

The force required to pull an object out of its natural straight-line path and into a circular path; centripetal means

The resultant force towards the centre of a circle acting on an object moving in a circular path..

(physics) the force on a rotating or orbiting body in the direction of the centre of rotation

A force that causes a body to move in a circular path. The word “centripetal” means center-seeking, for object’s moving in circular motion, there is a net force acting towards the center which causes the object to seek the center.

A force that continuously changes the direction of an object to make it move on a circular path (Lesson 16)

The force pulling an object moving in a circular path inward towards the center.

The force making a motion is a circle possible, always directed to the center of the circle. To make a (small) object of mass m move with velocity v around a circle of radius R, a centripetal force of [..]

An inward-directed force that confines an object to a curved path; the result of other forces.

The force required to keep an object moving in a curved or circular path. It is directed inwards toward the center of the curved path.

The force required to keep an object moving in a curved or circular path. It is directed inwards toward the center of the curved path.

The force required to keep an object moving in a curved or circular path. It is directed inwards toward the center of the curved path.

is the force that causes an object to move in a circle, acting towards the centre of the circle. In the case of a satellite the centripetal force is gravity, in the case of an object at the end of a r [..]

The radial force imposed by the restraining system, necessary to keep the body moving in a circular path. [Note: the centrifugal force and the centripetal force are equal and opposite].

(physics) The force on a rotating or orbiting body in the direction of the centre of rotation.
